Planning a Home Health Agency Move

Home health agencies do most of their work in other people's living rooms. The office is where nurses, therapists and aides pick up wound-care and ostomy supplies, drop off paperwork, check their mailbox and sit in on case conferences. Visits run every day, and a nurse starting a route toward Oroville or Colusa early in the morning cannot wait on a supply room that has not been unpacked.

So the move is planned around the supply pickup, not the office furniture. We usually move the supply room first, over an evening or weekend on request, rebuild its shelving at the new office and stock it from shelf-labeled cartons before anything else. Field staff mailboxes and the pickup counter follow. Intake coordinators, schedulers, clinical managers and the case conference room come after that, once the field team has somewhere to go.

Your agency keeps control of the visit schedule, patient charts and anything clinical, and the licensing and certification paperwork for the new address is your administrator's to file. We move the physical office in the order your field supervisor sets.

Who usually signs off: Agency administrator, with the director of nursing or field supervisor setting the supply pickup plan
Timing that works: Supply room on an evening or weekend on request before the first pickup at the new office, with desks and conference room following.

What typically moves

Supply-room wire shelvingClips and posts bagged per unit, then rebuilt in the new room before any stock is unpacked.
Wound-care, ostomy and PPE stock cartonsPacked to shelf labels so stock goes straight onto the matching shelf at the new office.
Field staff mailboxes and supply pickup counterName labels stay on, and the counter is set near the door clinicians use.
Loaner walkers, shower chairs and bath benchesTagged apart from office furniture so they return to the equipment closet.
Case conference table and chairsSet in time for the next scheduled case conference to meet at the new office.
Intake and scheduling desks with locked filesFiles stay locked; each desk and its files travel as one labeled group.
Scheduling-desk screens, towers and label printersCabled up again at each scheduler's new desk; the visit scheduling software is your IT contact's to bring up.

Access and scheduling

Home health offices are often in plain office buildings or light-industrial flex space: a Chico suite near the airport business park, a Yuba City office off Colusa Avenue, an office in Natomas or Citrus Heights. Flex space usually has a roll-up door, which makes the supply room easy to load. A shared office building may need a reserved elevator, and the building office may want proof of our insurance, which we supply.

Ask your field supervisor for the lightest pickup day of the week and the hour the first clinicians arrive. We choose the loading window from that and keep the path from the truck to the supply room clear of the pickup counter. In July and August, stock spends as little time in the truck as the route allows, and staff pull anything heat-sensitive to carry in their own vehicles.

Protection and handling

A home health supply room is arranged the way field staff think: wound care together, catheter and ostomy supplies together, gloves and PPE by size. Your staff tape a label to every shelf in the new room before move day, and each carton we pack carries the matching shelf label, so stock goes straight from carton to shelf. Wire shelving comes down with its clips and posts bagged per unit.

Field staff mailboxes and bins move with their name labels left in place. Loaner walkers, shower chairs and bath benches carry their own tags and ride apart from office furniture. Charts, visit notes and anything carrying a patient's name are sealed by your staff, and we carry those cartons closed. Medications, vaccines, sharps and anything heat-sensitive stay with agency staff under your own handling rules.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Medications, vaccines, sharps and heat-sensitive supplies: Agency staff transport them under your own handling rules. The moving truck does not carry them.
Phones, visit scheduling software and remote access for field staff: Your IT contact and phone vendor set these up at the new address. We move and reconnect the desk equipment.
Licensing and certification paperwork for the new address: Your administrator files it. We have no role in that process.

Not part of our work

Opening, sorting or reading patient charts, visit notes or referral paperwork.
Assigning visits or telling field staff where to report; your supervisor handles that.

Around Chico, Yuba City and Sacramento

Agencies here cover wide territories: Butte County from Chico out to Oroville and Gridley, Yuba-Sutter and Colusa along Hwy 99 and Hwy 20, and the Sacramento and Placer suburbs from Natomas to Roseville and Rocklin. The office is usually placed for highway access, so a move often means a new drive for field staff as well as a new supply room.

Home Health Agency Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (530) 354-8089.

Our nurses pick up supplies before seven. How do we avoid a gap?

Move the supply room first, the evening before or over a weekend on request, and have it stocked before the first pickup. If the shelving is still going up, staff can set out a few days of the most-used items on a temporary table. The desks and conference room can follow once the field team is supplied.

Should field staff mailboxes move with the office desks or with the supply room?

With the supply room, in most agencies. Clinicians collect supplies and paperwork on the same stop, so the mailboxes and pickup counter should be set at the new door before the first pickup there. We leave the name labels in place, so each clinician finds their slot where the new layout shows it.

How do we label a supply room so the new shelves are stocked right?

Your staff put a label on every shelf in the new room before move day, using the same category names as the old room. We pack each carton to its shelf label, and at delivery every carton goes to the matching shelf. Staff then unpack and count, and anything left over is easy to spot.

Who moves our loaner walkers and shower chairs?

We can, as a separate tagged group. Your staff clean them before packing, and we wrap them and set them in the equipment closet at the new office rather than mixing them with desks and chairs. Anything a patient still has at home stays out of the plan, and your staff collect it on their usual schedule.
