Not-for-Profit Home-Health Agencies As noted above, not-for-profit nursing agencies such as the VNAs are also engaged in psychiatric home care. Although their bottom-line goals differ from those of commercial home-care firms, their core mission is also home care.

And some of them have. Very simply, the staff of these agencies is usually not trained in psychiatry. Nurses and nurses aides are trained in postsurgical care that historically was provided in the hospital. Only a minority of clinical staff members have concentrated on psychiatry; most are neither trained nor equipped to provide the intensive psychiatric aftercare required of patients with major psychiatric illness.
