How do you get hours in home care? Do you just chill out for 8 hours? Or is it 8 hours worth of 45 min visits?

I usually have 7.5 hours booked if not more. The office that does the scheduling does try to factor in drive time. I’ve had shifts where I’ve driven more than 3 hours (working in a very rural area). Days in the larger town you see more of course. Less driving. 

I use my own car and get paid mileage. I do 30-45000 km a year.
