About Amedisys

Our interdisciplinary home health team includes nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, home health aides, and medical social workers, in addition to our office staff. As a home health caregiver, you'll have the autonomy you need to take excellent care of patients and see them through their full journey to recovery and independence.

Our 12-month New Graduate Nurse Program allows first-year nurses (LPNs and RNs) to move with confidence from the classroom to the patient's home and gives them the clinical support needed for a successful nursing career. Our program expands opportunities for hands-on clinical practice in the home while allowing nurses to gain valuable experience and enhance decision-making and critical thinking skills. Strong peer support, educational opportunities, and one-to-one collaboration with an experienced mentor help new nurses build a foundation of nursing excellence. Home health care allows patients to recover after an illness, injury, or surgery, stay independent at home as long as possible, delay the need for facility care, and prevent unnecessary trips to the hospital.
