Home Health Care Administrators develop, operate and manage private health organization businesses or government health programs which provide services to individuals needing healthcare in their homes. Most people are familiar with home health services geared toward the elderly. These services help them remain in their homes instead of moving to residential care facilities. Home health services can also include hospice care and care for non-elderly disabled people, including children. Home health administrators may have several different types of specialty and expertise, from business management to nursing administration. The position requires education and experience enabling them to provide management, assessment, planning and staff supervision. They also need to be able to work seamlessly with other health providers, supervise staff members, and modify programs and policy to meet emerging needs for individual patients as well as the organization and community as a whole.
