How often does a nurse have to do a supervisory visit?
It depends on your program and license, and we could not confirm one Georgia number. Georgia requires supervisory home visit findings to be kept in the client file, and the CCSP and SOURCE manual includes a Nursing Supervisory Visit form. Check the PSS manual or ask your program manager for the schedule.
A supervisory visit is when a nurse or qualified supervisor sees the client at home, checks the aide’s work, and reviews whether the plan still fits.
What we can source:
- Georgia’s private home care rule says the client file must show the findings of home supervisory visits, unless they are recorded in the service plan.
- The CCSP and SOURCE manual lists a Nursing Supervisory Visit form among its appendices.
- The same manual treats failing to give nursing supervision as a reason for adverse action.
- The manual also requires observing direct care staff at least once a year.
What we could not confirm is the day count between visits. Some job posts in Georgia mention 90-day visits, but a job post is not a rule.
Steps:
- Read the Personal Support Services manual and your waiver manual.
- Write the schedule into your policy.
- Put each due date on a calendar with a name next to it.
- File each form the same day.
A missed visit is easy for an auditor to find.
