Home Instead Senior Care Employer Reviews

Good place to learn personal care and become of aware of the typical senior's lifesstyle.

I liked this job, but I found that I seemed to always be on call which I wasn't aware of. I would get calls at 7 asking me to be at work by 8. You can say no to jobs, but if you say no too many times they stop calling you. Also, I was having to drive over an hour to some of my shifts that were only 3 hours long so I felt that I was spending more on – more...  gas than I was getting paid. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know the seniors I worked with and doing things with them. – less

worked at nite. visited with client med reminders with snack hugs and kisses helped with walking to bathroom. in am helped with dressing walking to kitchen fixed breakfast hugs and kisses till back on nite shift learned how to listen to the quiet from client. co-workers were very caring

A typical work day is I go to a clients home, do whatever needs to be done for the client and then go home. Normally I do not get the next day jobs until either the day before or a couple hours before the shift starts. The pay for this job is below minimum wage. In the beginning I was getting plenty of hours and now I am barely getting 20 hours per – more...  week. I was happy before and now I am sad everyday because it is not fulfilling me anymore. – less

Wonderful place to work but work quantity can change drasticly from week to week. It not a job to rely on for payin the bills.

I would arrive at work at 8 a.m. would help the husband out of bed and make him breakfast. While the husband ate, I prepared breakfast for his wife. When both have finished eating, I washed the dishes and had meaningful and fun conversations.
Management was sincere, helpful and willing to resolve any issues.
My co-workers were pleasant and very communicable.
The – more...  most enjoyable part of the job is that I felt good knowing that the couple that was in my care enjoyed me being there for companionship as well helping them with whatever needed to done. – less

I am laid off right now but I love my job this is a good company to work for

It was a 24 hour shift 2-3 days in a row
Management was good
Hardest part of the job was being away from the family for 2-3 days in a row
The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help people in every possible way that I could.

I thoroughly enjoyed my employment with Home Instead Senior Care. I would refer any person in need of home care services to Home Instead Senior Care, along with anyone seeking employment. They are a very honest, trusted and compassionate company.

Had a variety of hours that did not go well with my college schedule. I learned how to clean and take care of senior citizens in their own homes. I never really met my coworkers, so I don't know too much of them. The hardest part of the job was finding a client that was not so far away and that would pay decently. I loved meeting all the different people.

The only negative was the payscale. The office staff was great as were most of the clients. On the rare occasion when there was a conflict, either from the client or if I was not comfortable, the office staff was quick to reassign me to a better fit.

My role is to support the care coordinator and care manager in all scheduling tasks and to inform clients and carers of any changes. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that people are getting cared for and respected.

It's been a while since I've worked for them. However I remember they were kind and worked with my schedule well.

A typical day at work is being a companion, cooking, cleaning, bathing, etc... very busy!! Which is what I like. I have learned a lot about senior citizens and what beautiful people they are. Management has really worked with me to get the best schedule for my home/work life. The co-workers I have met are AWESOME!!! We have all got along so very well. – more...  The hardest part of the job is leaving clients I have been with for a while but the most enjoyable part of the job is meeting new people (co-workers and clients), helping the clients, and seeing the smiles on the clients faces when they thank me for a job well done at the end of the day/shift. – less

I was told it would take a while to get 20-25 hours per week, but instead I would work maybe 9 hours per week. I was required to drive 40 minutes for a 1 hour shift that they would not get anyone to cover.

They are very friendly and have great values. They are also very flexible in work hours.

This was the worst job I ever had! The schedulers are incompetent.. they would constantly call me to work hours that were outside of the availability I gave them.. on several occasions they sent me to a home that required white caregivers only (I'm black fyi).. my shifts were always getting cancelled and several times I wouldn't find out until I was – more...  on my way to the shift or there already.. the pay sucks, but they got an attitude with me for going out and picking up a full time job.. I was forced to stay over my scheduled time at least five times out of my 2 years there because they failed to schedule someone to relieve me.. I can go on but I'll just leave it at that.... I'm only rating them one star because I wasn't allowed to rate them 0! – less

Home Instead is just a great company all around. They care so much for thier clients as well as thier caregivers.

If you enjoy working with seniors, then you will like the work. Must be willing to travel to clients' homes.

I love this place. This place help you get to know people and help seniors. You can learn alot when you work with other people.
