Very meh
Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Cornwall, ON - 23 May 2021
I worked for a few months with nurse next door and it was okay. Pay was subpar and they did not pay for mileage even though they had me driving from Cornwall to Winchester often. The clients were okay but I would not go back there.
Pros
Most employees were nice
Cons
Bad pay and no mileage is paid

Health Care Aide (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 21 May 2021
I like to work I got more confidence and I enjoyed my work with NND. I joined in 2020 and I like the staff they always manage time and shifts even manage leave if you are not available for any visit. All team members are cooperative and supportive.

Purposeful place to work
Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 10 May 2021
Nurse Next Door is a great home care company to work for as they know each and every client and caregiver personally. You are valued as an employee. There is honest communication between management and front line workers. They hire caregivers who are truly interested in the clients well being and are able to take time with each client, as visits are a minimum 3 hours.
Pros
Flexible schedule, support from staff
Cons
schedule can always change

Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) (Former Employee) - GTA, ON - 28 March 2021
Working at nurse Next Door was the greatest and happiest moment I have ever experienced. Very peaceful, learnt about caring as my talent, A typucal day at work was making my client as my top most priority, with stress free environment, meeting my goal in rending optimum services to my client, rendering care with best practice nursing guideline.The hardest pard of the job would be effort to locate the destination and travel distance.Most enjoyable part of the job was the peaceful work environment. Work place culture; working as team, the friendliness that exists amoung the workers and cooperation. continue education for new knowladge .

Seniors were awesome to work with
Caregiver (Former Employee) - Georgetown Milton - 24 January 2021
Nurse Next Door is a great place to work. You pick your hours. I was a caregiver but basically did everything a PSW did. I bathed, fed gave meds, dressed, shopped, did errands for the elderly I looked after. You can work full time or part time hours there are lots of hours to choose from. Management was great the only bad part of working for Nurse Next Door is the pay 14.00/hr sucks
Pros
Pick hours, nice people good management
Cons
Terrible pay

Management
Caregiver (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 22 January 2021
Bad bosses don't listen, which goes hand in hand with being bad communicators. Worse, they do not even care to listen. Whatever you say, bad bosses hear what they want to hear. In addition, they interrupt constantly, and they are never fully present during interactions with employees.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything

Experience varies
Home Care Worker (Current Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 5 January 2021
The workplace is franchised. Your experience will vary widely based on location and how competent your management staff is. I am lucky to have an amazing management team. Communication is quick and easy. Requirements (like training) are accessible. They do draws and shout outs on our work Facebook page. It is amazing! They also support their staff in regards to work life balance, scheduling, and career advancement. I have read quite a few reviews, and it seems like most issues stem from your locations management. Worth checking out.
Pros
Gift draw, flexibility, training included
Cons
Different management in different locations will lead to inconsistencies

Jobs at Nurse Next Door Home Care Services
Not a place I’d recommend
Support Worker 3 (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 4 January 2021
Don’t work here. Pay is horrible and you’re often up in the air with shifts. Not a very good place to work. Especially for the work you do and aren’t compensated

No summary
Health Care Aide (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 2 November 2020
The pay is extremely low for what is required of a Healthcare aide and her job description. The wage does not work very well when you are driving and spending money on gas and vehicle maintenance. The home visits are very long also . The office staff where professional and kind. The did send bday cards and recognition of events with staff. Staff are treated with respect. Overall the company is good with room for advancement . My only concern was the low salary. In today's world one with education can not live on minimum wage.
Pros
Respect
Cons
Poor salary

Fantastic Clients
Health Care Assistant (Current Employee) - Qualicum Beach, BC - 22 October 2020
The clients are amazing wonderful people with great stories about their lives and meeting them is the only benefit to this job. In the age of Covid the company is slow to react to the necessary changes as not all jobs have PPE provided by the employers and as the benchmarks changed the company was slow to react, low wages with little to no room for advancement, this is another for profit company focused on their bottom line and not the health and safety of their clients and employees.
Pros
Great clients, flexible schedule
Cons
No respect for staff

Horrible place to work!!
PSW (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 12 September 2020
They are the worse to work for- lie lies and lies. No protection if an employee slanders you. They won’t listen to your sid word story. Fire you for no reason. For the $4 Pandemic pay. They say they didn’t get it. Which more lies.

They always make sure clients and caregivershave a good quality relationship. All staff and co workers I have met are great people.
Caregiver (Current Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 22 August 2020
Great people and Company, they check in with clients and staff concerns to ensure all their needs are being met. NOT Companys control or fault, but its Not a real reliable / regular schedule, guaranteed hrs. Clients get healthy, move, go into hospital, ect. So your schedule can change alot. Big benefit if you want to choose the days you want to work. No real advancement without further education schooled courses, updates or experience. These
Pros
Pick your days/ schedule. Always make sure staff and client get along.
Cons
No guaranteed hrs, no Benefits. No real contact with co workers, sometimes information does not get passed on to all channels.to all

The worst
HCA (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 5 June 2020
I hope that you will not go there. I worked there for a while and it hasn’t gotten any better. At first you are told that you can be casual, then they call you and tell you “well if you don’t commit 20 hrs a week you might as well quit”. Terrible communication with the superior staff. Did you have a full time client that you relied on? Oh well, he cancelled the service, you don’t have the same hours anymore! Forget about benefits because you will never get the full time hours. NND will send you to the most terrible, dirty, unsafe, disgusting places. All they care about is money. Did you only expect to come for an 8 hour overnight shift? Well, prepare yourself that very often the morning caregiver won’t show up. Guess what! You can’t leave the client alone. How long you need to wait? Well, once my friend waited 18 hours till they found a morning caregiver replacement. And caregivers who don’t show up, I don’t blame them. Because they get paid so little and get treated terribly. You wanna try it out yourself?
