The job description should list if travel is required for the position, especially if it's home health, and if so, what percentage of time it would be required. If it doesn't, don't be afraid to ask follow-up questions here to determine the frequency of travel and distance required to travel. Knowing all the details will allow you to answer more honestly. Think about whether you would be able to travel and if you would need advanced notice each time. If you have limitations that restrict your ability, be upfront about it. If you have some flexibility, speak openly about the circumstances.

"At this time, I'm looking to find a role that is at one or two facilities, with limited travel during the weekdays. I can be more flexible with availability to travel on the weekends if necessary. Can you tell me more about the requirements?"

"In my previous home health position, I was required to travel every day, up to thirty miles per day, and it was no problem. If it would be overnight travel, I would just ask that I have as much notice as possible so I can arrange my personal affairs. Does the organisation offer mileage reimbursement or per diem rates for travel?"
