Home Health Employees and house hunting

[Katie Haman]

I am new to all of this and work in home health. Just wondering, are there any home health employees that use this line of work to also scope out houses? I know that it would be horrible and grounds for termination if I tried to buy a house from a patient that was on caseload, BUT are they fair game after discharge?? How soon after discharge? Has anyone done this? Clearly we see the insides and there are many homes I think, hmmmm...this might be a good one but also not trying to prey on vulnerable people or something, since I know their situation pretty well. I wouldn't use my name on anything and would probably send my husband out to meet them. Thanks!!
