east stroudsburg pa
field lpn (Former Employee), East Stroudsburg PA – March 3, 2013
Pros: clients
Cons: management, schedulers
Worked for Lov Care for almost 4 years. Management was awful in this office--never in. Whenever it snowed they would work from home and not avail. Enjoyed working with children and most families. Clinical Managers never available to help. Office Director never in the office. Although she was aware of the disorganizational skills of clinical managers-- – more... this was overlooked. Tried to call and email corporate about the issues, (since I loved my job) but they never replied. Schedulers have their favorites. – less

I enjoy working in a high school with teenagers.
Pediatric LPN (Current Employee), Bala-Cynwyd, PA – January 23, 2013
Pros: time of work, working with other children, and the pay
Cons: no health insurance, and no paid time off
I enjoy working in a high school with a learning disabled student. Im in the classroom of 17 learning disabled children from the ages 17-21 from Tuesday through Friday. Mondays my client goes to therapy.I learned about different disabilities.I enjoy helping the other children with their school activities, because I am very patient with children. The – more... teacher knows my position as a LPN, but she is very appreciative when I help with the other children.My co-workers are very nice and we work together. The hardest part of the job is when my client does not come to school ,I dont get paid, and the disrespectful high school students that are not disabled.The most enjoyable part of my day, is knowing that the children are appreciative of me helping them, and they miss me when Im not in school. – less

Not a good company to work for
Healthcare (Former Employee), State College PA – October 15, 2012
Cons: disorganization of office staff, inappropriate scheduling
I was hired by the State College PA office in April 2012. The office staff were very unorganized and the person who did the human resource part of my orientation had no idea what she was talking about. I was hired on as 32 hours a week dayshift and was told that there would be plenty of work available but ended up working all night shift and hardly – more... ever got the full 32 hours a week. My pay checks were rarely correct and I had to call the office every week to have them fixed. I was sent to wrong addresses for clients (sometimes very late at night) and when I would call the office for help, they did not know correct addresses. I also had a client that had a medical condition that was potentially hazardous to the nurses that went into her home. I reported the condition to the supervisor and nothing was done about it at that time. The supervisor then left the nurses go to other homes with the possibility of spreading this condition to other clients. I could not continue to work for a company that would allow potential harm to the clients that they serve. I ended up only working for Links2Care for 3 months and would not recommend this company to anyone as an employer or to be responsible for the care of a loved one. – less

The management at the Bala Cynwyd office is unorganized, unprofessional and petty.

KIKI71 – November 6, 2012

The Bala Cynwyd appeared to be unprofessional, unorganized, and yes petty. The pay is low and is actually an insult. Looking at the low amount of cases they receive in compared to Bayada...insurance companies must have the same views of Loving Care. Time for a name change.

Its a workplace not a fun place.
Certified Home Health Aide (Former Employee), Toms River, NJ – August 30, 2012
Every client is different. I find I have to adapt to each one of them.
Loving Care has fairly new management and I find the schedulers
have not met my needs as far as finding me more work.
The schedulers in the past did a better job of that.
That is why I am looking elsewhere.
There really isnt a hardest part of my job.
The most enjoyable part of my – more... job is getting satisfaction knowing
I have helped them to the best of my ability. – less

Good Company, poor managment in office
Field RN (Current Employee), Fort Wayne IN – August 26, 2012
Pros: is generally a good company to work for.
Cons: to many calls from the office, to many changes in schedule
I enjoy working for Loving Care, the kids and families are wonderful. There are many downsides in the management of the Fort Wayne office. Local Branch Director is possibly the worst manager I've seen in 20+ years of nursing. Theory is to call everyone, multiple times to fill a shift then be lectured about overtime including having OT shifts cancelled – more... at the last minute. The scheduler is great to work with but I'm not sure how she keeps up. New clinical manger is a true asset. HR and recruiter are fantastic too. – less

FrustratedFortWaynemom – September 16, 2012

I am the parent of one of the children serviced by the Ft Wayne office. I find the current Branch Director to be difficult to work with, she makes promises and schedules meetings then never arrives or comes thru. I am looking at other options for the care of my child. The office staff is very nice and helpful

FrustratedFortWaynemom – January 19, 2013

The Fort Wayne office is poorly managed by the Branch Director, decisions are made and changed in the blink of an eye.There are to many calls made to families and nurses many of them to ask "just one more time". The new scheduler is nice but not as nice as the previous person.

Decent company
Registered Nurse (Current Employee), Fort WAyne, IN – August 21, 2012
Pros: flexable hours
Cons: calls to nurses on their days off requesting them to pick up extra shifts
Decent company to work for. Hourly rate of pay was fair and benefits were good except insurance is quite high if needed for more than employee only. Work assignments switch around a lot and get called off at times if patient ends up in hospital. If you are a contracted nurse the agency does try to keep you at 32 hours a week by placing you with other – more... patients, at times even calling off the uncontracted nurse to give contracted nurses their hours. Contracted nurses need to work two weekend shifts per month but call count on phone calls from the agency on most days to request nurses to pick up extra shifts. Office staff are very nice to work with – less

FrustratedFortWaynemom – August 31, 2012

Dear Nurse, I understand your frustration with the multiple changes in work assignments. I am the parent of one of the children you may take care of (if so thank you!), I am also very frustrated with all of the changes and failed shifts in my home, I've gotten no results from the Branch Director and recently called the corporate office to share my concerns. Hopefully a change in managment is coming soon. The schedulers is so kind everytime I call and the new clinical manager is a treasure.

Decent company, awful managment in FTW office
Field LPN (Former Employee), Fort Wayne IN – August 19, 2012
Pros: seems like a good national company
Cons: ft wayne branch director
Recently interviewed with the Ft Wayne Branch Director and was made to feel very inferior. Wouldn't accept a job from this company if it means I had to work with her. Recruiter was very nice and office staff friendly.

Nurseoftenyears – August 23, 2012

I've been thru the Ft Wayne Orientation process, what a joke! Administratively it is very well put together, clinically not so much. When I was there the clinical manager was brand new and the branch director was giving the clinical overviews.

Terrible Local Managment
Field RN (Former Employee), Fort Wayne IN – August 12, 2012
Pros: taking care of the children
Cons: local branch manager
While this may be a good company to work for, providing a valuable service to local families. The management in the Fort Wayne office is dreadful. Branch Director is very condescending to nurses and worse to office staff. Taking care of the children is a pleasure.

Terrible Branch Management!!
LPN (Former Employee), Fort Wayne – July 28, 2012
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: low pay, terrible management!
I interviewed for a position at the Fort Wayne Branch and could not believe how the branch manager treated me. She acted like she was better that her job! I'm an LPN with Pediatric experience and when I was told I had the position, I turned it down based on how I was treated during my interview! If they get rid of her, I would consider, but NOT until – more... then! – less

Good company, poor managment in local office
Full Time employee (Current Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – July 21, 2012
Pros: good benefits, fair pay.
Cons: terrible local, branch managment
LCA is a good company to work for providing a wonderful service for families with medically fragile children. Upper management seems sound and supportive, local branch level management is the absolute worst I've ever seen. Office staff is great! Benefits and pay are comparable in the market.

NotHappy – July 28, 2012

I called the corporate office to report the brach manager for her negative comments and unfair work ethics and they did nothing! This company does not care about it's employees! If you like your hours cut or to be made to work on your day off that you requested for 30 days in advance and no sort of communication on any level...then this is the place for you!

Nurseoftenyears – August 23, 2012

I have also interviewed with the Branch Director in Ft Wayne, I came to the table with several years of nursing experience and was made to feel like I was a brand new graduate. I had to come back to the office to take a very basic "class" it was humiliating.

Work Place was Friendly
Field Nurse (Current Employee), Toms River, NJ – June 30, 2012
Pros: i enjoyed the children and asults i cared for
Cons: we did not have a dedicated lunch pr break time we are on full time with our clients.
Nursing care of children or adults in their home. They were on vents. Sometimes accompanying them to school and supporting them during their activities there. I would see my co-workers maybe one or twice a wek when I relieved them or they relieved me from a shift,
The hardest part of the job sometimes would be to keep communication open between all – more... parties involved in the care of the child because sometimes we had more than one agency managing the cases. – less

Productive
Accounts Receivable Coordinator (Current Employee), Hasbrouck Heights, NJ – April 9, 2012
Pros: schedule should be a bit early from 8-4 i/o 9-5
Cons: short lunch break
My typical day at work is very routine, collect, contact insurance companies, manage patients accounts making sure that no outstanding balance is unpaid. Get along with co-worker feel needs to be more management involve in terms of work responsabilities among everyone. Hardest part of the job is the miscommunication and lock of management involvement – more... in resolving an issue. I overall enjoy my job, I know what to do and how to resolve an everyday issue, I go home satisfy knowing that I did a very productive job everyday. – less
