Home care and hospice agencies face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining a safe, compliant, and effective workforce. At Mobile Health, we provide occupational health services and employee screening solutions that simplify compliance, protect patients, and speed up your hiring process. A key component of this strategy is a strong drug and alcohol testing program customized to the needs of home care and hospice providers.
Why Drug & Alcohol Testing Matters in Home Care and Hospice
Drug and alcohol testing is a really important safeguard for vulnerable patients and staff working in high-risk environments, just like home care and hospice workplaces. With caregivers often entering patients’ homes or caring for those with complex health needs, a substance-free workplace ensures safety and quality of care. Our occupational health services are designed to support this goal with fast, flexible, and comprehensive employee testing options.

Mobile Health offers everything you need to implement and manage a robust occupational health testing program for hospice and home care workforces, including:
- Drug and alcohol testing: Pre-employment, random, and reasonable suspicion.
- Physical exams: Assess physical readiness for caregiving duties.
- TB testing and screenings: Protect vulnerable patients and clients, and comply with CDC guidelines.
- Titers and vaccinations: Ensure immunity and prevent outbreaks.
- Respirator fit testing: Stay OSHA-compliant in high-risk settings, and reduce caregiver and patient exposure to airborne hazards.
