The employees do NOT come first as they state they do in Orientation
HR Specialist/QA Supervisor (Former Employee), Livermore, CA – May 5, 2013
Pros: enjoyed working with amazing caregivers!
Cons: overworked, un-appreciated
I was wrongfully terminated when I brought up to the owners that the office staff was feeling overwhelmed, stressed and that we all were requesting a meeting to discuss our concerns. There was a high turnover rate in the office staff and I was the one with the longevity (up until my termination). They scheduled a meeting for the following Monday to – more... discuss our concerns. We were all relieved and looking forward to coming to some resolutions. Much to our surprise, that I was fired 15 minutes before the meeting started.
There's so much more but to much to write. I will say though that the caregivers we employed were amazing! I love working in this field.
We tell our caregivers in Orientation that they are our top priority (over profits) and that may be true for some Comfort Keeper offices, but this office is in it for the profit. The owners would get excited when a client became ill or had a decline, etc and needed to increase their hours.
One of the owners also prides herself in being able to manipulate both client and caregivers with the degree in psychology she holds. – less

Stands behind their word
Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee), Anniston, AL – April 30, 2013
Pros: the people
Cons: the distance to the clients, gas prices.
In the orientaion for Comfort Keepers they tell you their main pirority is their employees. This is very true. They are very good people, locally owned and promote from within. They are christian people and really care about their staff and clients.

I never had as bad as a job as I had with the Scottsdale Arizona Comfort Keepers Company, They lied to me and agreed to pay gas money if I would take one of their clients with a one hundred mile round trip per day, After I agreed and drove and worked for about 2 weeks I asked for rembersment for the gas and was sent a check for $21.00 the total was $84.00 for two weeks of driving the 100 miles. I called and was told "we don't pay for gas" I tried to talk to the client cordiator and was told she was off work and they didn't know when she would be back at work. Then the owner e-mailed me and said she was not going to have anything to do with this matter again. I wrote back and told her I felt I was being ripped off and she said "too bad" This company will tell you anything to get you and then they do not make good on their end. Stay away and save yourself a lot of headaches. Screw me once and never again!!

Comfort Keepers: Great leadership and positive reinforcement
Companion Personal Care Aide (Current Employee), Towson, MD – April 19, 2013
Pros: autonomy and bringing joy to someone else
Cons: low pay; no health benefits
I am a Companion/Personal Care Aide. A typical day at work varies on client basic needs. An example, assisting clients with independent daily living skills such as shower, and getting dressed. Also, taking clients to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, and extracurricular activities.
What I learned from this experience is to look at the client through – more... their eyes and be a good listener. Although, I work for an agency in the field we impliment autonomy with the knowledge to follow agency policy. We are representing a company.
The co-workers I interacte with are polite, enthusiastic, and compassion for this job. The hardest part of the job that's a good question? I try to handle each challenge with an open heart and mind and learning experience. So I'm not sure if I can answer that directly. The most enjoyable part of the job is that it doesn't feel like a job. – less

Interesting
Caregiver (Current Employee), Owensboro, KY – April 15, 2013
Pros: making a new friend, and making easy money
Cons: schedule always changes.
A day at work is interesting, taking care of the elderly and making sure they are safe. Management is good, they are very good about telling or explaining things. Co-Workers are nice, but rarely see them. Hardest part of the job is getting to know the client. Most enjoyable part about the job, is being able to make a difference in someone's life.

Caring people, easy to get along with and flexible about schooling
Caregiver (Current Employee), Fort Worth, TX – April 10, 2013
Pros: flexibility
Cons: no insurance
While in this industry the hours are unpredictable from one week to the next because it is based on the situation of the participants of the program, I love what I do. I love being there for people. I love brightening their lives giving them companionship, where they would otherwise be discontent with their current situation. I only wish for more stability – more... in scheduling – less

i would not recommend this company to any one
in home care giver (Former Employee), el cajon ca – April 1, 2013
Pros: a horribel company
Cons: dont call them
I worked for the Comfort keepers in el cajon ca. This comfort keepers treats their employees like aminals. I worked 12 hour shifts and my lunch break was on my drive to the next clients house. I complained about this and they slowly removed me from clients until I was on unemployment for reduced hours. They found out about the unemployement and fired – more... me cause they said I turned down work. Which I did not. They would call 15 min before they wanted me start a new client and yes I wanted the work but it was impossible for me to get there in time..... they did this so they could fire me so they wouldn't have to pay unemployment. – less

Worked alone with Clients only.
Caregiver (Former Employee), Concord, OH – March 30, 2013
Pros: meeting new people that became friends.
Cons: was not treated well at all by the owner. i was verbally abused more than once.
I loved taking care of my clients. Very fulfilling job. I learned so much as far as patients, understanding, companionship for ohers outside of my family. I took care of my mother (Alzhiemers) for 10 years prior, so I treated my clients how I would want someone to treat my mom. Taught me that we all get old and hopefully I will be treated as well as – more... I treated my clients. – less
