The city
Living in Reading, PA
Reading sits in southeastern Pennsylvania's Berks County, where rolling farmland meets small-city grit. The former railroad and steel hub retains a blue-collar heartbeat with a growing Latino community shaping local markets and restaurants. Nearby Hawk Mountain offers weekend escapes for outdoor-minded nurses swapping bigger-city paychecks for a quieter, affordable Pennsylvania base.

Who they are
If you take a role here, you are not walking onto a hospital unit. You are walking into community and residential disability support — helping people with intellectual, psychiatric, physical, and other disabilities with personal care, medications as directed, and rides to where they need to go.
More about InVision Human Services
Some shifts are live-in: you stay in the home for the block and keep flexible hours. The model is restraint-free. The employer is a nonprofit based in Wexford, Pennsylvania, started in 1992, with 501–1000 people and three offices. The two postings we have list $27 an hour, with no spread above or below that. Nearby you could also weigh AHN Healthcare@Home, Harmony Hills Healthcare, or Allegheny Health Network if you want a different setting. Reviews do not all line up. Across 83 ratings the company sits at 3.1, and just over half would recommend it. The one nurse who reviewed scored pay and work-life at 1.0. Reading staff describe a gap between leadership and the people on shift, thin communication, and some hours that went unpaid. A few people hold onto the mission and their coworkers; others talk about turnover and being overworked.
Support people in fulfilling their own vision of a successful life, using a restraint-free disability-support model.
