More about Amedisys, Inc.
The work is home-based hospice and home health: you show up at the door, do the assessment, shape the plan of care, teach the family, manage symptoms, and take on-call when it is your turn. Portsmouth postings describe per-diem and part-time on-call RN roles with benefits options; across the company, home health case manager roles add LPN/HHA supervision, referrals, and staff education. Pay figures in hand are from other Amedisys markets, not a Portsmouth posting. The closest New England anchor is an Augusta, Maine RN Case Manager range of $75,000–$90,000; other full-time RN home health and hospice roles land roughly in the $70,000s to low $80,000s depending on market. Benefits listed on company postings commonly include PPO or HSA medical with free telehealth, PTO, 401(k) match, wellness rewards, EAP counseling sessions, and parental or caregiver leave—eligibility varies by role. If you have under six months as an RN, the RN Intern program is required; under a year needs VP Clinical approval. New Hampshire does not tax wages and is a compact-license state, which helps if you are moving in. The honest friction: staff forums talk about Optum/UHG merger stress and branch cuts when census dips, and Portsmouth itself is known for high housing costs and tight rental inventory. You weigh the doorstep nursing against those realities.
Community-based home health, hospice, and expanding palliative care in the home; internal Spirit of Excellence awards recognize patient-care work across the company.
Why nurses stay
How they describe the culture
What nurses say in reviews
The good
- Home-based hospice and home health nursing with case management and on-call paths
- RN Intern program for nurses with limited clinical experience
- Benefits often include medical (PPO/HSA), free telehealth, PTO, 401(k) match, wellness rewards, EAP, and family leave options
- NH offers no tax on wages and compact licensure
- Nearest New England pay anchor listed at $75k–$90k for RN Case Manager
- National scale (~19,000 employees) with local Beacon Hospice identity
The hard parts
- Staff discussions of merger-related stress and layoffs tied to low census in multiple markets
- No Portsmouth-specific pay posted in the validated set—figures are from other states
- Portsmouth housing costs and limited affordable rentals are a frequent relocator complaint
- Many RN roles expect 1+ year experience unless you enter through the intern path
The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
