Genesis Rehabilitation Services Employer Reviews

Great place to work. I learned so much at this facility.I worked with a fantastic rehab team.

I have respected Genesis Rehab Services since day 1. As am eployee I felt valued and treated professionally. When my first facility was bought out by another rehab company I stayed on PRN with Genesis until I found another FT position with Genesis. I plan to stay with this company and pursue management positions. The company just bought out at least – more... 2 major rehab companies, they're doing SOMETHING right. – less

Have worked for almost 6 years and stated the work analysed salary wages and I was not looked upon as a Genesis Rehab Therapist secondary to working in out patient position and did not recieve the raise.

Company as a whole is unorganized, left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. on the positive side, therapists in the facility were well rounded and knowledgable. an overall great team.

I developed a strong career foundation @ this facility.
I worked with recovery of Stroke, Spinal Cord and head inury patients.

I'm a former Sundance employee that was bought by Genesis. Genesis is very focused on productivity. However, they offer great resources (if you ever have the time to look through them). Direct managers are very nice but over worked. Upper management seems disconnected.

no one is ever ready on time so you are automatically 30 minutes behind schedule. not enough computers ( the hand helds are a joke) which means more wasted time waiting to log on to complete your work. Sitting with the hand held computer while your patient exercises on the bike is NOT skilled therapy nor should Medicare be paying for part of those 75 – more... to 90 minutes (yes, 90 minutes of treatment. How else can you make UH catagories unless you overtreat? ) If your patient is sick (on more than one occasion my patient was actively dying) you had to treat them anyway. Needless to say, I don't work for Genesis any more. It is a sad commentary on a once good company that had managerial staff the was compassionate, understanding and supported the front line therapists. – less

Company offers lots of resources ie. special interest groups, master clinician specialties,genesis university online and membership in AOTA.

I have worked for genesis for a number of years and have seen it go downhill. They are very focused on productivity. I feel there is little focus on quality patient care. They are looking after their bottom line. They will send you home if there are not enough patients to be seen that day. Beware! Pay scale is good but there are only 2 paid holidays – more... and very limited potential for continuing education or career advancement. Benefits are constantly being cut- don't believe everything they tell you... they will take away even more benefits once you start. Oh yeah- the computer system is awful. Bad documentation system and not enough computers for staff. – less

There was a lack of communication between Rehab Director and staff therapist.

Worked for this company for many years in various locations. Upper management is unsupportive , unavailable and critical of lower management and staff. Company focuses on productivity, Worked with really good therapists that were made to feel inferior and undervalued whom have also left. Upper management without accountability for staff turnover. Compensation – more... below average and raises all but non existent. Insurance benefits costly. Job security fair. Expect travel. Limited equipment availability to perform expected job tasks. – less

I'm giving my 1 star for their on line seminars/workshops that Genesis provides. HR is also very helpful. Other than that I agree with all negative commentary in all other posts.

Typically I work ten hour days and arrive early to prepare the facility for treatment throughout the day. I must be available at 9:00am for the morning meeting amongst managers in the building to review updates in the community and of the residents of the facility. Between 9:00am and 3:30pm the majority of my time is spent doing a variety of things: – more... transporting patients to their appointments, teaching exercise classes, contacting physicians and/or family members about the status of a patient, ordering equipment, receiving phone calls, training other employees, screening incoming residents for their need for therapy, and an abundance of other miscellaneous tasks. I spent the rest of the day mostly filing and preparing medical records for submission to Medicare and physician review as well as prepare the schedules for the six full time therapists on staff. My manager is very supportive however tends to pass a lot of her responsibilities off to me and this has continued to accumulate over the past six months. This leads to the hardest part of my job: the workload. I have continued to absorb more responsibility to the point where 50 hours a week is not enough time to complete my duties. This causes a large amount of stress and dissatisfaction with the workplace. I enjoy the patient interaction and the small impact I am able to have on the patients that we see. I love working with others and supplying my knowledge health and wellness to those in need. My co-workers are supportive and a pleasure to work with, however often tend to be overwhelmed with work and pass off a lot of duties to me as well. – less

Career turning full circle as I started out a new graduate in a Nursing Home and have returned to working in a Nursing Home.
I currently see Skilled Part A patients, Part B patients, and Outpatients so get a variety in my work day. Notes are all computerized now so that is a change from 33 years ago.
I draw on my vast experience to teach and guide the – more... new graduate PTA and to maximize my patients successes and return to optimal living.
Love the rehab and RNP staff as very focused and energetic always big advocates for our patients
Always tough in NH settings to get equipment needed for patients and carry over on units. But... just part of the job to educate, advocate, and educate again – less

I worked for this company for a time. The upper management is all about bettering themselves. The company is all about the company and not employees, They couldn't care less if you work there or not and will tell you that. Trying to have a life outside of Genesis is not an option, you do what they want you to do when they want you to do it regardless. – more... Think of John Grisham's book "The Firm." If you are not in upper management then you are treated like crumbs. It's an upsidedown pyramid. – less

This company could care less about its employees. They control every move you make, expect you to lie but make it look good, have no respect for therapists, management only cricitizes and zero positive feedback

I found my work rewarding and the enviornment pleasant. They respected the individual and their ability to do their jobs.

In fairness, I would have given them 2 stars, but the ridiculous 5-star review from the Kennett Square shill forced my hand. (Kennett Square, PA is Genesis' head quarters, by the way. Conicidink? I think not.)

So where to begin? Dishonest recruiting, measly benefits, focus on productivity to the exclusion of most everything else, pointless meetings, – more... workshops dressed up as "patient care" but that drive instead at -- you guessed it -- increasing patient billing and productivity, under-resourced departments. On this last point, they tout their technology ("Computer documentation!!!" their recruiters squeal ad nauseum) but then fail to provide enough computers such that any efficiency that might be gained is already lost from having to wait for a computer in the first place.

In short, Genesis claims to be different, but is no different than any other big box rehab company I've ever worked for. Oh, and don't be fooled by their claim to an 85% employee retention rate. They're a big sponsor of foreign trained therapists, which *requires* a two-year commitment on the therapist's part. So there's a chunk of your retention right there. And believe me, most of the foreign therapists I've talked to would bail, given the chance.

So yeah, nothing at all "remarkable" here. Two stars overall, but subtract one for their penchant to burnish their credentials (falsely) on sites as this one. – less

Genesis Rehab was the first company I worked for upon becoming licensed as a Physical Therapist Assistant in Ohio. While challenging, the job gave me a chance to learn very quickly what was expected of a new PTA in the field. Staffing seemed very fluid some days but the caseload was always well managed by the staff and therapy manager.

big corporation, very top heavy, pushes productivity, point of service, and RUGs, very little actual concern for pt. care or therapists
