Wichita Falls is outside the provider extract, so employer names are not listed.
License and training
Nursing homes in Medicare or Medicaid use aides from a state-approved program who are on the state registry.

Hospitals and home health can use a different rule, so read the state registry before you rely on the federal floor.

The work
A typical round is bathing, transfers, feeding, vital signs, and a note about what you actually saw. The call light does not wait for the round to finish. You report what changed in the person. You do not write the nursing assessment.
In a nursing home the same people are there tomorrow, so a missed change becomes the next shift's problem. In home health the tasks are the same ones, in the person's house, one visit at a time. The nurse still decides what the visit was for.
The work is physical, and it is also a record. A transfer that went badly has to be said out loud and written down. An aide who only looks busy will not last on a unit that already knows its residents.
