What’s Included
The Free Home Health Nurse Starter Pack includes four printable PDF resources:
1. Home Health SN Visit Documentation Mini Checklist
A quick review to help confirm that your skilled nursing note reflects the reason for the visit, relevant assessment, interventions, teaching, patient/PCG response, follow-up, and other important elements of the visit.
2. Patient/PCG Teaching Follow-Through Mini Checklist
A practical checklist to help review whether teaching was relevant, individualized, understood, and followed up appropriately.
3. When to Notify PCP/Provider vs Call 911: Home Health Quick Reference
A general escalation reference to help organize your thinking when a patient has a new, worsening, or concerning finding.
4. Home Health Skilled Visit End-of-Visit Review Sheet
A final visit review to help make sure important clinical, teaching, safety, communication, medication, supply, and follow-up needs have been addressed before leaving the home.
Who This Starter Pack Is For
This free resource is designed for:
- Home health registered nurses
- Licensed practical or vocational nurses working in home health
- Nurses who are new to home health
- Experienced home health nurses looking for simple review tools
- Clinical supervisors, educators, and QA staff who support home health nursing practice
Why These Tools Can Help
Home health visits involve more than completing a task and writing a note.
The nurse may need to assess changes from baseline, provide skilled care, reinforce teaching, identify safety concerns, communicate abnormal findings, and make sure appropriate follow-up is in place.
These quick-reference tools are designed to help you pause and review the important parts of the visit without replacing your agency procedures, provider orders, or clinical judgment.

Important Use Note
The Free Home Health Nurse Starter Pack is provided for general educational purposes. Resources must be individualized to the patient’s condition, assessment findings, provider orders, medication profile, plan of care, services actually provided, patient and PCG response, agency policies and procedures, payer requirements, applicable laws and regulations, and skilled nursing judgment.
These resources do not replace provider orders, patient-specific instructions, agency requirements, emergency protocols, professional standards, or applicable regulatory and payer guidance.
