Who they are

Covenant Home Health is a home health agency based in New Orleans, Louisiana, serving patients in Orleans Parish and surrounding areas.

More about Covenant Home Health

The organization provides home-based nursing services including patient admissions, follow-up visits, recertifications, and discharges delivered directly in patients' homes. Covenant Home Health is experiencing rapid growth and actively recruiting registered nurses for both full-time and part-time field nurse positions. The agency operates on a per-visit payment model with travel reimbursement, offering nurses the autonomy to create their own schedules. Notably, the organization utilizes Artificial Intelligence for documentation, which is designed to reduce paperwork burden and save nurses time. Working as a field nurse at Covenant Home Health involves independent, community-based care requiring a current Louisiana RN license, at least one year of nursing experience, previous home health experience, and a reliable vehicle with current liability insurance. Knowledge of Kinnser/Wellsky software is preferred. The role demands self-direction and time management as nurses manage their own visit schedules across the service area. The organization describes itself as a caring team of professionals and an equal opportunity employer, with a mission-rooted emphasis on serving those who are poor and vulnerable, consistent with a faith-based healthcare identity.

The organization's mission, as reflected in affiliated Covenant Health sources, states: 'As expressions of God's healing love, witnessed through the ministry of Jesus, we are steadfast in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.' Core values include Compassion—reaching out to those in need and offering comfort—and Dignity—valuing all people as created in the image of God. The organization emphasizes nurturing spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of both caregivers and those they serve. Note: This mission and values statement originates from a broader Covenant Health web presence and may reflect an affiliated or parent organization rather than Covenant Home Health of New Orleans specifically.
