Home Health Aide (Current Employee), Salem, IL – May 2, 2013
I go from client to client and pretty well do the same things for all my clients. I clean,cook,run errands,shower,and take to appointments...I have learned alot from this job such as its hard when you do get older to have to ask for help alot of these people do not enjoy having to have someone come into their home and do the things that they can not – more... do themselves. The management for this company would be alot better if they learned to communicate better with their employees..The hardest part of this job is getting attached to your client then they pass away..The thing I enjoy most is I get to help someone and feel like I made a difference also getting to meet lots of new people – less

Great job working in an adult day center working with the elderly and disabled and their families. Also, working with physicians, social worker and CNAs.

Caregiver (Former Employee), Rockford,IL – April 5, 2013
Pros: got to meet and get to the know the elderly

Working with the Elderly and there isn't a hard part of the job if you have a heart then there is no such thing of a hardest part of the job and I get along with my co-workers and I have learned a lot through out working with the elderly and taking classes for CNA

Care Management (Former Employee), WI – March 18, 2013
Pros: flexibile schedule
Cons: management lacks support
Diverse caseload of developmentally disabled, physically disabled and elderly individuals. The program is voluntary which is wonderful as most participants want help you have to offer and actively participate in their care planning. The job is extremely flexible which is helpful. There is a healthy balance between being in the office and home visits. – more... Management is available to answer any policy and procedure questions.
There is a tremendous amount of paperwork which is forever changing and hard to keep up with. You are most often a RN and social worker team and the workload is suppose to be divided evenly-but most often is not. As long as the work gets done management does not seem too concerned if it is one sided or not. You will be reviewed and receive the same raise if giving 110% as someone giving 20%. – less

Certified Medical Assistant (Current Employee), Austin, TX – February 3, 2013
Pros: learning a lot about healthcare, outstanding team work amongst my team, up to date with technology
Cons: employees are not paid properly, management doesn't act as such, clinic is forgotten during fix ups
Community Care is a good place to work for but has more cons then pros, I believe they are coming up in their business but it might take a few more years, they're starting out right with making new facilities more updated in technology, but they don't always treat their employees correctly and they have lost a lot of physicians and medical assistants – more... because of this. My work day is very busy but I like being busy staying on my feet I have a wonderful team I work for a family nurse pracitioner along with another medical assistant and we work very well together I have learned a lot working with these two individuals, the hardest part of my job is that the manager doesn't always act as such so it does make working hard, but the most enjoyable part of the job is that I get to learn everyday and the staff members get along very well so it's actually a joy to go to work. – less

Care Manager (Former Employee), Kenosha, WI – October 31, 2012
Pros: family friendly, flexible, great management, decent pay
Cons: benefits are expensive, high deductables/co-pays, some long hours at times.
After training care managers have the ability to work remotely. This works out wonderful if you are a mother. As long as you are doing your job the management team at the Kenosha office were very thoughtful and understanding. I could take an hour to see my kids in a school play as they knew I would make up for it at night or on the weekends. Trying – more... to manage the cost of cares is challenging but it can be done. Working so close with the Family Care members was often rewarding. The management team I work with were incredibly supportive and were able to offer constructive critism in healthy ways. There is not always a lot of growth within the company but they do promote from within when they do. The work it not easy, it is a very demanding job however as a working mother it was a great fit for me. It is very fast pace, a lot of deadlines and constant changes are all part of the job. I enjoyed this pace as I was never bored and the changes are always an effort by corporate to improve things. – less
Medical Assistant (Current Employee), Austin, TX – October 18, 2012
The benefits are great. The pay can be better based on exp. that the person have. The management need more training and not have their favorites. All employees should be treated the same and not let others get away with the unprofessionalism in the work place.

Pros: great team work from fellow co-workers
Cons: no leadership
A typical work day is fast paced, high phone volume of patient scheduling, check in/check out.

There was no consistency with management and I worked with a wonderful group of – more... coworkers who were always willing to help out. I enjoyed being able to help these patients and making there lives a little easier. – less
