Home Health Care Offers Many Benefits For Nurses and Pegasus Goes Beyond Those With Ten More Benefits That Support Our Professional Team
Pegasus Home Health Care is licensed by the Department of Health and Accredited by The Joint Commission. Since 1994 we have consistently provided quality care to our clients. The skills and abilities of our professionals are validated with trust, appreciation, and respect from patients, physicians, and community partners.
Our in-home nurses in Tarzana and elsewhere assist clients of all ages, with varying healthcare needs. Their focus is to provide patients with the same care and treatment they might otherwise receive in a clinical setting and to educate the patient and family members on how to safely manage their care at home. Career home health care nurses know that educating patients can help them feel empowered, and engaged in their rehabilitation and recovery.
Benefits Of Working In Home Health Care
Home Health Nurses work independently in a patient’s home, and doing so provides the opportunity to utilize a wide range of clinical skills and apply critical thinking. Home health nurses are an essential link between patients and their multidisciplinary care team, which may include family members, caregivers, physicians, specialty clinics, and pharmacies.
Because the role of a home health nurse has become an invaluable piece of the health care continuum, home health nurses are respected throughout the medical community.
A career in home health can be a source of gainful employment while simultaneously allowing flexibility and work-life balance. Home health nurses have the option to establish a work schedule that fits with school, parental duties, and other personal interests. As long as they provide consistent availability to an agency, they will find most employers are willing to let them work on a per diem basis.
For those who wish to work on a more traditional schedule, home health also offers full-time positions, and some agencies like Pegasus, offer a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, health care benefits, and a 401k plan with matching.
As a home health nurse, you’ll use your clinical skills for assessment and treatment. And you’ll also hone your ability to assess your patient’s safety and risk for rehospitalization.
You will be assessing and determining factors such as:
- Your patient’s risk for falls
- Your patient’s ability to take medications as prescribed
- Your patient’s ability to improve and achieve rehabilitation goals
- Your patient’s need and access to caregiver support

Improving Patient Well-Being Is A Source of Job Satisfaction
Although Pegasus clinicians serve patients of all ages, the majority are older adults. And many of those individuals want to age in place. Remaining in one’s own home has proven health benefits, including increased quality of life.
The in-home care you offer improves patient well-being. Knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of others gives meaning to your work. And that’s an essential element of job satisfaction.
