Pros

Flexible hours and the clients...

Cons

I have worked for HomeInstead for 2 years and honestly the Mason, Ohio location is the most unprofessional and disorganized office. They have lost all but 1 office staff member over the last year plus (1 original girl stayed) and new office staff hires don't last long either. I have no clue how many caregivers leave except for the numerous fill-in requests we receive daily. The Office staff never return our phone calls and they do not communicate between each other. Inexperience caregivers are hired and sent out without any information on the client or how to care for them. The experience caregivers are the ones that train them however, we do not receive any training pay because we're told just to show them the JOB. There use to be introductions for new clients and caregivers but now we go in blind. We're told not to lift over 25 lbs however this is constantly overlooked. Omaha should investigate the staff losses and the workman's comp claims. We're not suppose to directly give medication but its overlooked for the fully disabled clients. Why is this allowed? It"s all for the MONEY. They do not survey past clients as far as I know Omaha doesn't either. why not??? I would want to know what I could do to improve or why the clients quit our business... The owners are clueless and in Florida.... The caregiver surveys are a joke and they hand pick certain caregivers to come in and give feedback.. No one checks up on management, staff and caregivers.. and there's nothing in place to do so. I stay for the flexible hours until I can find another job.

Pros

Matched clients with same interests

Cons

Not good scheduling manager HR lied When they said $1 per mile when transporting clients, they did NOT reimburse at that rate Payroll/paystubs unclear to intentionally confuse caregivers CarePros who have been loyal to the company have been shat on with lower wages than new-hire employees. They allow clients to be racially biased and hateful towards their caregivers NO BENEFITS and things they advertise are not true! No real flexible schedule that they promote and promise in the job ads NO policy written for things that are unclear for example being on call phones are not provided and time is not paid for unless actively providing cares Management will tell lies to the families about why you don't want to be with a certain client every day of every week and will blame it on them being a difficult client when communicating to the family when in reality schedules and availability with classes does not align. Even with proper notice, the scheduling manager will have attitude and try to convince you that you are the one with the problem even though she does not care to take the time to fully understand each persons preferences or availabilities.
