More about The Lakes Home Care

Field work is built around a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio with medically fragile pediatric and adult patients, and scheduling is described as flexible — you help shape your own hours and aim for workable drive times. Pay is called competitive for RN and LPN home health roles, with shift differential and supplemental pay mentioned, though specific dollar amounts are not laid out here. There is also a full-time office-based RN role in Boca Raton focused on administrative, clinical, and operational support so documentation and care continuity stay intact. Roles prefer current licensure, BLS, and TB/PPD or chest X-ray clearance, and about one year of prior nursing experience is preferred. Florida's lack of state income tax and compact-license status can ease a relocation, while Boca itself brings beaches and amenities alongside a high cost of living.
