Gentiva Health Services Employer Reviews

Although I enjoyed my position as a supervisor, there was not any firther room for growth or salary increase or bonus

I enjoy interacting with my patients each day. What I enjoy about my job is that I put a smile on my patients face even though they are going through so much(sickness). The hardest part of the the job is when I lose a patient(s) and holding in my emotions, and each day and each patient is not the same.

Had daily contact with patients and families in an inpatient unit. It was a great way to develop strong positive relationships. It was emotionally taxing and requires a strong team and supportive environment to continue the work. We had that for a year but change in management turned a wonderful supportive environment hostile and stressful.

A very busy fast paced office. Each day is a new learning experience with different/new rules and trials of functioning on a daily basis. Always working to find more ways to optimize my time to meet daily deadlines. The staff is very team oriented and helps out with daily duties. The hardest part of the job is meeting Tuesdays deadlines for payroll. – more... Although this position is very deadline oriented and alot of multi tasking, it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment knowing that each day will be a new challenge. – less

A typical day at work involved traveling in the community to give Home Care nursing care per Physician's orders under Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance. Education was given in this company which has been very beneficial. I've learned to time manage my day to get clients seen and documentation completed. The hardest part of the job was the traveling – more... at times, but not always. – less

I worked as a RN Case manager for 3 years. The Branch in Crestview Florida is currently under very poor management. Huge clinician turnover. Under appreciated and clinicians are harassed ..borderline a hostile working environment...STEER CLEAR of this office!

A typical day at work started with a phone call to the office to confirm my patient schedule. I then called the patients to confirm a home visit for the day. I would visit each patient and provide patient care. I enjoyed seeing each individual patient as they improved in general health, because I played a part in the outcome. I had a great working relationship – more... with my coworkers and physicians. While working there I learned a great deal about wound vac care and became very proficient in provided that care to patients. The most difficult part of this job was the large amount of miles I had to drive. Because of the time spent driving, there was little time left to do paperwork. I felt like I was married to my job. – less

The care at the local level is top notch, but from the regional management up they care only about the bottom line. Local management plays favorites and regional management allows it. This is an industry with a lot to offer, unfortunately at Odyssey the management doesn't care to offer it. The culture is also one that condones sexual discriminaton'& – more... sexual harassment. I will say they paint a pretty picture in the interview process but once you are hired watch your back and always always keep your friends close and your enemies closer. – less

I staffed clients with home health aides. Worked side by side with case workers to assist clients and families.

Great online orientation but that's about it. Management highly critical of staff and constant criticism and no reassurance or positivity. Noticed that the staff who had been their the longest were treated like they didn't matter. This company is only driven on numbers and not patient satisfaction. They lied about my pay and hours when I was hired, – more... was offered more money because I spoke another language but after branch director said they couldn't do that. My 90 day probationary period was "extended" to get paperwork in on a timely manner, but told at the same time I was the only nurse who had all my paperwork up to date! The assistant to the director of clinical services does all the work while the actual director sits and does nothing. Actually told to pick up my "last check" at the office by text... Unprofessional? I'd think so. – less

There is a ton of paperwork. The hours during the day are flexible as far as appointments, picking children up, etc. However, there is a lot of driving and paperwork; most of which is completed at home. Not a great job for someone with small children or busy schedule. Must work some weekends and holidays and take call once monthy.

Management is micro in nature, too much work to get done in 60 hrs a week. lots of back stabbing. Very stressful, no raises.. and pay low for the amont of work you have to do.

I like Gentiva but the office i work in now is terribly run..
The managers need to keep there foot down and make the employees accountable for their actions.

Worked with a great team of nurses, occupational therapist, physical therapist and office staff. Went from only working with ICU patients to in home care. Took some adjusting to learn the paperwork but was able to catch on pretty quick. I usually went to the office first to plan out my day, call doctors and see if there were any new patients that needed – more... to be admitted. My co-workers were very helpful. The hardest part of the job for me was the paperwork. The most enjoyable part was getting to know the patients and their families and building relationships with them. – less

My current position is demanding and detailed. Each day as an Insurance Collector I have a quene of claims that it is my responsibility to solve the problems causing them not to either be settled or to be submitted in a timely manner. We do not have a true break schedule but are expected to respect that we get one in the morning and one in the afternoon – more... and use them wisely. We also have a half hour lunch that can be taken from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and we do not clock in or out but am expected to respect the time limit. We do not clock in or out but log in and out of our computers as a way to show our hours and fill out a time sheet that is kept online. We are assigned to teams and each team works a different area of the Country. We are expected to meet deadlines for quarterly close and awarded for keeping Credit and Debit Goals, of which I've successfully acheived most quarters. Each team has a Supervisor and their is an Area Manager and Director. Problem solving is a very strong skill of mine and that is necessary in this position. Multi-tasking and organization are also very necessary to this position and these are the things I love about the job. I believe the hardest part of the job is often times having to work in an environment that is too loud and unprofessional but there is no part of the actual job I truly dislike. I have learned a lot more about the Insurance Industry through my current position and made several new friends of my co-workers. – less

I was recruited by this company to try to put in place new protocols and to try to work to improve staff skills. Unfortunately the management and most staff were brand new and not ready for hospice care.

A day of work, helping others is what I like. The most enjoyable part of the job is staffing consumers with a good PCA.

I worked in management and could not believe how other managers were allowed to treat staff. When I tried to advocate for others and myself it got worse. Upper management did nothing and made excuses for the manager that they protected. Poor management. Staff were targeted and fired for trumped up reasons just because they didn't fit the click. I quit – more... to save my health and wellbeing. – less

spinning wheels, hectic environment, great patients, too much paperwork

Morning meetings to review necessary action for continued patient care. Total clinical and non clinical involvement to process and schedule required services. The hardest part of my job was to ensure 100% accuracy in patient's plan of care. The most enjoyable part of my job was to have a perfect fit of caregiver and patient.
