Bayshore HealthCare Employee Reviews

It’s an okay company, unfortunately and the coordinators are not organized. The clients are absolutely the best part of the job. We are severely underpaid and required to send emails and phone calls on our days off.

Overall, very unfriendly and unsupportive environment.

HOME CARE AIDE (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 27 November 2023

The most enjoyable part of the job was assisting clients and interacting with families, however a bad management and a lack of support made it extremely difficult to provide safe and sufficient care for people in need. Time, designated for appointments, was very short and included drive time from home to home. Minimal wage was paid and not covered any overtime. The company built a schedule, which required broken hours. For example, from 7 am to 13 pm, and from 16 pm to 21 pm. My day assignment included 13 to 15 visits.

Pros

I cannot identify any pros

Cons

No brakes, no lunches, no benefits

Terrible Management

CHW (Former Employee) - Belleville, ON - 15 November 2023

Revolving door of management. Schedulers try their best, but they can't seem to get it right. Most clients are delightful, but some are a nightmare...

Hard but rewarding work

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Former Employee) - Wellington North, ON - 3 November 2023

I enjoyed my 20 years at Bayshore albeit strenuous at times. But the client connections were very rewarding. If you are good at autonomous work and ready to accept lots of different hours and schedules you’ll enjoy the position. Managers come and go a lot so you need to really keep track of your client load and be prepared to advise schedulers of what’s best for your clients and yourself

Pros

Clients

Cons

Travel can be extensive

Highly organized

LPN (Casual) (Current Employee) - Alberta - 19 October 2023

One of the best, most professional companies I have ever worked for! Never have I felt more valued as a team member. Supportive. 24/7 availability with any issue that occurs. Excellent pay. Incentive bonuses! Great communication! Teal green water bottles with company logos! Wonderful orientation to Northern Nursing, INCLUDING CULTURAL SENSITIVITY training. Bayshore is leaps and bounds ahead of other organizations in relation to what it means to care for Indigenous populations. Mint organization holding immaculate standards for the nurses they employ! Offers me a very rewarding career, full of adventure!

Low pay, not worth the added work and constant mismanagement

Admin (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 15 October 2023

Workplace moral is abysmal. Staff turnover is very high. I’m the office and with field nurses and rpns. No continuity of supervisors. Untrained supervisors. Management turns a blind eye to any issues brought to them by admin staff. Prepare to be over worked and underpaid. The job can be rewarding when dealing with clients and clients Families. Benefits are fair. Not fully paid by the company however.

Cons

Long hours. Low pay. Poor staff retention. Lack of supportive management.

Take the good with the bad

Personal Caregiver (Current Employee) - Halifax, NS - 13 October 2023

Interview/hiring process is easy and the scheduling team are all pretty great. One negative side to the job is the company seems to be a bit disorganized. The rate of pay is better than most places and the all PPE is provided. If you do your job well there is definitely opportunity for picking up more hours as they usually have 6-7 people call in sick per day. Not a bad place to work if you enjoy homecare, and the clients are awesome for the most part.

Interesting

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Current Employee) - Chatham-Kent, ON - 12 October 2023

Some days are ok then some days you can’t get ahold of no one if you have a problem that needs to be dealt with . Most days are okay and joyful.. if we were given drive time that would be great but we don’t plus if we got paid for drive time that would be nice I just put $5000 in repairs on my vehicle
