Anyone working at home via a VPN should be smart enough (or well enough supported from their work environment) to have configured, or have configured for them, a reasonably secure and access-restricted WiFi network in their house.
At my last place of employment, full-time telecommuters (with work- provided PCs) had their "work" computer hard-wired behind a hardware VPN router, completely segregated from the rest of their home network. Occasional-use telecommuters were asked to bring their wireless router in so we could make sure it was configured securely, and we'd happily help them set up their other systems to work with the secure settings, too. I think it was a good policy, and the employees who took advantage of it were glad for the help.
