Home Instead reviews

There really are no cons to working with seniors. A caregiver walks into a home with the feeling it is also their home so everyone will be loved and treated with respect. Being patient, understanding their movements and thoughts might be slower then our own can be challenging, but most always be present in our thoughts and actions.

You get bumped around on jobs a lot. You don't get what you asked for as far as hours. It's a lot of brainwashing as far as you going above and beyond the call of duty to care for the elderly but in reality it's just to make money for the company. You will get put on jobs no one else wants if you're not like much by the staff. The pay sucks. $8 to start and maybe a raise of 10 cents in a year if you adhere to some strict rules. Some of the office staff needs training in how to speak to people. They walk past you and not speak all day, but at the employee meetings, they act as if you are gold. Double standards. Also, if you jump every time they say jump, you are a good employee. Will blow up your phone to send you to jobs.
