Pros

None that I have experienced

Cons

Since Great Lakes Caring was taken merged into Elara Caring everything has turned to crap! Insurance Benefits are outrageously expensive, mileage reimbursement is pathetic, PTO time is terrible and everything takes longer to accomplish. They came in and cut tons of staff, just called them in and let them go with no notice. Their electronic medical record was forced on us and it takes longer to complete. They are constantly on your back about productivity with no regard to your enormous territory and drive time. Then they force you to drive hours to cover other branches because they are constantly firing people without a proper investigation....people that have worked there for years with no complaints about them. Management plays favorites and always has at least one employee that is their whipping boy that they constantly pick at. Human resources is a joke since most of them have no education in the human resource field. If your a nurse you can get away with anything but other disciplines better watch out! My advice is don’t even waste your time with this company because it’s nothing but stress. No work life balance because all you will do is work and fall into bed at night.

Pros

Field staff is good, especially the home health aides. Most of the nurses as well. Medical Directors are thorough.

Cons

Local management is poor. Bad communication, short staffed, take patients that live alone in bad situations with no plan for future care. Disasters waiting to happen. Employee well being is poor. No recognition for things you right or patient/ satisfaction. Nurses don’t get adequate time with patients. I
