ALMOST FAMILY Employer Reviews

I've worked for this company for over 2 years, still no raise. The office manager said everyone gets a raise in February, well its May and still no raise. We finally got mileage but it don't amount to much. They will not work with you if you have any type of restriction, I'm pregnant and have a lifting restriction and they told me I don't have a job – more... anymore until my restriction is lifted. They are some what good working with the hours you what, but do grumble about it. Just tired of all the drama... – less

the best thing for me was when i am taking care to my patient , and also make them happy

Large company that feels like small companies with each individual agency running itself. Great care givers and field staff that care about their geriatric clients. Every company has its own problems, but they are minimal at Almost Family. Very proud to be part of this team.

i worked here for over 3 years. No raises, constant drama in the office with management, and the corporate office has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Communication is horrible. Corporate just changes their policies without notice and expect the offices to know. I loved the CTAs and field staff, but could do without the attitudes and constant – more... negativity between the clinical managers. They don't know the meaning of teamwork. Raises would be nice too! I gave 2 stars only because of the amazing hardworking CTAs – less

No day was ever the same, my manager was excellent, co-workers were supportive, hardest part of job working with applicants that didn't have much work ethic.

I go to work at 8:00 in the mourning, I make breakfast for my patient then I was her up, play games, and i bring the patient to his or her appointment. At the end of the day I make his or her lunch and I say good bye and go home.

I learned that we (the employee's) should give all the love and help these patients need because they all don't recieve – more... that where they are.

I don't see my co-workers we are all busy.

I don't think that my job is hard I love working with people being nice and friendly to them.

The most enjoyable part of my job is making my patients smile and to motivate them to do things. – less

Currently taking care clients that don't really need much help. More like a babysitting service. I should have been more thorough in researching this company before accepting work. They often let caregivers begin work before background checks are complete. Our management is basically two people who don't communicate well. Hardest part is the frequent – more... schedule changes in which they let the clients change their schedules constantly. We show up and find our hours cut or extended without the office even being notified. We are told to put whatever hours we want as long as the client signs it. Only when we (or the client) complain, then the hours are cut, and then the client gets switched to a new caregiver. The enjoyable part of the job is that there is never much to do for these clients. They mostly just want us for the companionship. I have had several long-term clients now and have retained them by being accommodating to their needs within reason. I previously worked for a home health agency that had much more regulation and policies in place. – less

I took care of a little girl for almost 3 years. G-tube, respitory,socialy, and mentaly. Enjoyable job. Watch someone grow and improve everyday. Her mother was the other person on the case. No major problems to the job but was limited to what I would be introduced to limited on my nursing skills.

Case manager would call and schedule last minute to cover for a client.

A day is not spent in the office only in clients different homes which you have a lot of other people and family member to be dealing with on a daily basic. every one in home becomes your boss,the most enjoyable part of the job would be helping the client live a better life a cleaner life a healthier life a longer life and a reason to smile.

This company is not a nice company. The upper management has no idea of the work load in he field or in the offices. Offices and field units are perpetually understaffed. There is no advancement, there are no pay raises for improved work or increased responsibility. The company changes job descriptions unilaterally without consulting workers. Avoid – more... this company like the plague! – less

I really enjoy working for Almost family because you get to chose your days, and what family you work with. You can always get a day off as long as you request it two weeks in advance. The staff is wonderful!

I like this job because you get to meet different client all the time.

As a case coordinator you interact daily with elderly clients and field staff workers. You spend all day on the computer and on the telephone in order to cover cases and be the liaison between the field staff and the clients. It is very rewarding job, pursuing you have the right coworkers and director. I enjoyed my job while it lasted but the pay was – more... too low for the amount of work needing to be done. – less

working a caring is just nice each day work because you have the chance to make others happy while at it,i learn how much these people depend on us and look forward to see us eachday management is good,work alone,it not hard just have to have the heart for it i enjoy each day helping people.

My job is patient care and a assistance for my total care client. I come in at 11pm adn assist with feeding activities all adls and personal care for one person third shift. Many nighrt my patient is asleep however some nights they are awake and busy.

I wound stay around allday mainly because i didn't have a car to come back on time,so I stayed to help to RA with the clients.That job was the best working experience i ever had.sometimes i had to help with feeding some of the clients that were serverly disabled .

A typical day at work would consist of me helping my residence/clients with daily activities and maintaining a safe environment for not only my clients but for me as well. I have learned that the elderly just need love and affection because they have to adapt to a lot of new things in their life that they are not used to. The hardest part of the job – more... was developing family relationships with my clients/residence and they would pass away. The most enjoyable part of my job was to put a smile on their faces, and to let them know no matter what that I am there for them every step of the way. – less

I loved working at Almost Family. They were very supportive of their staff. The case coordinator's are very straight forward and will grant you with the upmost respect as well as the clients you provide care to. The clients that they give you are very kind hearted and love the service you provide you with and appreciate you very much.

Company is ok. It seems money is the number one goal with this company.
