GotCare Pay & benefits reviews

The pay is better than some home care companies but still falls below a livable wage. If you are lucky enough to find a client in your area with a decent amount of hours it’s worth it, however, many clients are ones that require minimal hours per day so you are still doing the traveling. Mileage is not paid by Gotcare and the job is extremely difficult to do if you rely on TTC. Be sure to interview the client first to see what their needs are and what you will be required to do. The care plan is provided by the client and you are not overseen by anyone, it’s you that takes on any risks in accepting the position. Gotcare will advise you to not accept jobs you don’t feel comfortable with. I recommend acquiring liability insurance for PSWs for anyone providing services in someone’s home.The staff at Gotcare are great and approachable and try to work with PSWs to find the clients just right for them. As a new company you can tell they are trying to make home care a job with dignity of choice and acceptable pay for PSWs where many, many other agencies fail. Hopefully, benefits and pensions will be added in the future as these are things that ALL PSWs deserve.

Pros

Choosing the clients you want to work with

Cons

Not a lot of clients/hours available.

First time working with an agency, wasn’t to sure what to expect but it was good.

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Former Employee) - Muncey, ON - 4 February 2022

I worked for GOTCARE as a private home care PSW. The part I liked about GOTCARE is they have clients who are close to you so you’re not traveling to far to care for them. Very flexible with scheduling, I was going to school and working. I was able to choose as many hours as I liked and I picked up more when I could. They have an app to track your hours and to clock in & out of which client you’re with that day.

Pros

Clock in app Close clients Flexible schedule

Cons

The pay could be better

A good place to work with special consideration to the area where you are located.

Personal Support Worker (Current Employee) - Vanier, ON - 23 September 2020

You are matched with clients near your postal code which means you are not working too far from home. Salary is competitive too. Help from management is just a text away as they are easily reachable and they care about the welfare of both their clients and employees.

Pros

Good pay, work when you want to, work within your postal code area.

Cons

Not enough hours yet to make it your main job, so this is a good side job. Hopefully in the future there will be more hours.
