Two Faced Management

Health Care Aide (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 24 October 2023

Absolute worst place to work. Trust me when I say, stay as far away from this company as you can. Can't go into details, but this company is plain money hungry and ridiculously inefficient. The management team badly needs to work on their communication skills, and pay their workers more than 20/hr with no benefits and no reimbursement for gas or criminal record checks. One day they like you and the next day they don't... all you have to do is call in sick one time for that switch up to happen. And interested clients, please stay away!!! I've seen way more than a few easily preventable medical errors from staff simply not reading the care plans.

Poor management

Caregiver (Current Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 23 August 2023

Kelowna location is poorly managed. Benefits and raises were promised but never provided. Clients were neglected and miss treated by staff and never resolved. Anyone was hired with experience or none at all. Employees have been stalked by other employees. As an employee you were either working overtime with little to no days off or barely working. Safety protocols are never in place easily getting hurt and harassed by staff to come into work when injured or really sick, staff care more about the cash flow of clients then the well being or safety of clients or other staff.

Pros

The clients

Cons

The company

Okay

Caregiver (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 16 July 2023

Clients are great to work with and are always very nice. However management and scheduling is full of less than capable workers who need better training in their jobs.

Scheduling

Caregiver (Current Employee) - Cornwall, ON - 27 June 2023

Scheduling needs to stay consistent or more people will leave.My schedule is the same BUT If it’s changed I’ll leave.Clients don’t even deserve the yo- yo schedulers let alone the caregiver.Also -A NURSE better be on board to visit clients who need a nurse.

Pros

Great shift chosen by me

Cons

No gas Milage covered - no benefits -

Toxic environment

DSW, Care Designer (Former Employee) - Clarington, ON - 13 June 2023

The core values are not valued by franchise owners and staff treatment is extremely toxic. Clients needs are not met as needed and management doesn’t appreciate any input that doesn’t align with shining a positive public light on them.
