Pros

The field staff truly care about our patients.

Cons

Pretty much everything. Elara Caring took over Great Lakes and is ruining this once great company. Since taking over, Elara has taken away all PTO for part times employees, increased health insurance rates significantly, didn’t pay normal holiday bonus, no contribution to 401k. Most recently, no sign of merit raises we were supposed to receive in March and no communication regarding them. No response from Human Resources regarding new Michigan law for sick time for part time employees and none given to part time employees despite law being in effect in April. No help from office staff when out in the field.

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
