Caregiver (Former Employee), Grafton, OH – March 27, 2013
Pros: free lunch, breaks when ever
Cons: time away from family
This was my very first time doing in home health care, at first i was overwelmed of being boerd with my time when clients feel asleep for there naps. Finally i got the hang of it and act like it was my home and what would i do with time on my hands. Its not a fast pace job. hardest part is when you get comfortable with your client and they pass away, – more... the best part is you meet new people and learn all different cultures of life – less

Genuine, quality, caring staff makes working with this company very rewarding as you help Seniors maintain their own quality of life.
Companion (Current Employee), Englewood, CO – February 1, 2013
Pros: buffalo bucks & bronco bucks!
Each experience with your Care Receiver is unique and can be challenging, at times. Care Givers need to be flexible, knowing plans may need to be revised to accomodate the Care Receivers needs as much and easily as possible, which is the primary goal.
Homewatch is there for us, as an employee, as well as our Care Receivers.
Continuing Education opportunities – more... are available and necessary to help us maintain the best knowledge available for our particular positions. – less

Homecare
Caregiver/Companion (Former Employee), Waterford, MI – January 29, 2013
Pros: the patients were sweet
Cons: lack of hours
A typical day was going to a patients home, and assisting them with everyday needs. I learned not everybody does things the same way. Management was horrible. Not enough communication. Did not work with others. The hardest part of the job was when you would show up at a persons home only to find out you were not needed that day. The most enjoyable is – more... being able to help someone who can't do things for themselves. – less

Working at Homewatch Caregivers
Caregiver (Former Employee), Windsor, CT – January 11, 2013
A typical day at work would be arriving at the clients house, preparing breakfast. Give standing bed bath or shower. Assist in grooming, and dressing. light housekeeping. running errands with client. I learned that the elderly are still lively, they are capable of much more than they can be held accountable for. I learned to build healthy relationships – more... and friendships with my clients and to make them feel loved and alive. Management at my job was good, they kept on top of things, the communication was good. co-workers were okay, whenever they weren't calling out at the last minute. Very dependable in the event of emergency. The hardest part of the job was dealing with stubborn or rude clients. The most enjoyable part of the job was spending time with my clients, getting to know each other, the laughs we shared and enjoying each others company. – less

Mixed emotions
Administrative Assistant/HR Assistant (Former Employee), Reno, NV – January 7, 2013
Pros: quiet place
Cons: no business brains.
Mixed feelings of owner and co-owner. Especially Marketing rep.
Company is now out of business and didn't let other workers know about it. They had to find out the hard way by showing up to a set of closed doors. Hoping to get my W-2 for '2012.

Caregiver (Current Employee), Tucson, AZ – December 26, 2012
Pros: i love helping and caring for my clients
Cons: most of my jobs are far from my home, bt i manage to find them and get to the residence in time.
I cook and clean only if required bt if not asked and i see it needs to be done, i get it done.
If i need assistance i can contact my employer and they get back to me right away.
I work alone at these places.
There is nothing hard about caring for my clients

wonderful work place
CNA/Caregiver (Current Employee), Salt Lake City, UT – October 15, 2012
Pros: great work enviorment
Cons: long drives, not as many hours
A day at work is great you get to see one patient at a time. management is awsome. I dont know very many of my co-workers you work alone alot. The hardest part of this job is getting really close to your patients and then losing them. The most enjoyable part is helping my patients and the smiles i get from them when i show up to see them

I enjoyed working for this client. I didn't have any issues with the agency.
Personal Care Assistant (Former Employee), North Andover, MA – October 9, 2012
Pros: extra pay, beautiful work environment, ability to eat with patient and to be treated like family
Cons: not enough hours, no real job stability as patient was in and out of hospital
I only worked for one client through this agency. I was hired by the client and paid through the agency much like Northshore Arc.
The agency paid me a "set rate" for a certified nurse assistant, and the client paid me a little more than that out of pocket.
The most enjoyable part of any of my jobs is to see that your patient is comfortable and hopefully – more... happy. If that is not possible you do your best to comfort them. The hardest part of the job is when you cannot. – less

I enjoyed working at SFCC because I was a full-time student at the school while I worked there. As a result,there were many benefits to working on cat
Caregiver (Former Employee), Chapel Hill, NC – July 25, 2012
Pros: working on campus
A typical work day at Santa Fe Community College included working with different professors and assisted them with calendar and copies of materials for class. Since this was my first office job, I learned so much from my co-workers who were very supportive and very helpful.
I did not expect management position because the next position was the administrative – more... assistant who had been there for decades.
My co-workers were very welcoming and very helpful at teaching me new skills in the computer. Since I enjoyed working as a receptionist, the job was not hard for me. The most enjoyable part of the job was the ability to walk to class from work so easy. Also, My supervisor was very understanding when my class schedule worked every semester. He trusted me to return from class and continued my work and completed assignments. – less
