I enjoyed management and the monthly meetings.
Caregiver/Housekeeper (Former Employee), Modesto, CA – May 8, 2013
Pros: we had monthly meetings to catch up on new techniques, and helpful hints for caring for clients.
Cons: there were workers who worked in the office who wouldn't relay messages of meetings, or of dropped clientele.
I enjoyed meeting the new clients getting to know their likes and dislikes. Doing activites with them if that's what they wanted.
I also enjoyed working in the assisted living field. I worked with clients who had or Dementia. I enjoyed meeting their families to see what their lives were like before moving into assisted living.

Good Company
Caregiver (Current Employee), Milwaukee, WI – March 19, 2013
Pros: somewhat flexible, not in an office
Cons: wages and benefits are poor.
Good company to work for. What they lack in wages and benefits is made up through good ethics, and values. However, man does not live on bread alone. I would reccommend someone to work for this company if it is a pass-time or part-time extra income job.

Enjoyed working there but had to quit because of primary job interference.
Caregiver (Former Employee), Burlington, NC – March 18, 2013
Pros: easy client to work with.
Cons: not knowing when i would have to get used to another client.
Excellent place to work for someone who doesn't want a full time job as a caregiver. Lots of training all the time to keep you informed. Enjoyed working with my client but was almost burned out when I left. Co-worker was primary caregiver and was very easy to work with. Gave her meds, cooked meals and put them in containers for heating up later, took – more... her to pharmacy as needed, went on walks and drives, worked puzzles with her.
Hardest part of job was not knowing if I was going to have a different client. I just wanted to do a primary client. The most enjoyable part of the job was to just listen and learn from the life experiences of my client. – less
