Nice clean beautiful hospital with new born babies.
Emergency Rooms has to be sterilized from top to bottom
Very caring co -workers
the hardest part of the job was to get out the bed.
I enjoyed seeing the mothers and babies

I do not recomend This place. They had me working 50 hours a week and refused me over time pay. Also I injured my back and asked for someone to come out to clients house to take over, and was told someone would be there, I finished my shift 7 hours later clients family member came home instead.

I don't get in the office much because they just e-mail me my client information. My co-workers are very nice. I have learned alot from my dementia classes. Feeling really accomplished when they send me my certificates! My boss rewarded me with gift cards for both Subway and WalMart for my service appreciation witch I really enjoyed spending. The hardest – more... part of my job is finding my way around the towns because I am unfamiliar with Florida. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nv., but I am learning Fl. day by day! – less

A regular day at work consists of filing papers, organizing and scheduling company files and paper work. I've learned the process of filing a bill and writing up a bill of sale and an invoice. my co-workers was very helpful in my time of working there. the hardest part of my job is meeting a required deadline in very short window of time with a short – more... notice. – less

Love this job. Love my clients and company. Look forward to getting up and going to work. I learn something new often from my clients.

I would come in early on the weekend, my patient would be asleep. Clean and make sure the house and everything is clean and his breakfast is hot and ready. when he wakes up or if he is still asleep at 10am, i open the windows for light and calmly wake my client up. Clean him, wash his face, brush his teeth and groom him. Check for any incontinence if – more... any then i go i head and clean him and change him if not then i feed him breakfast. Empty the trays and put on the tv for him to watch and keep him company for a while. Change his bed position after 2hrs or so, and monitor him for incontinenece and provide his access to his needs. Clean him at around noon and change him. Provide his lunch. Let him relax and for a bit. Try to get him engaged in some activities or take him to the activity room. later on get him comfortable in bed. do a little range of motion with his legs and clean him before i leave. Make sure i empty all incontinence and write notes in my employee handbook. – less

Great company to work for, they really place the clients needs first.

Huge issue getting my paychecks, even after getting direct deposit.
You feel like you have to tell the office staff how to do their jobs.
Co-workers were friendly, but didn't want to follow care plans of clients.

My day starts by getting my patient out of bed. Then dress her and make her breakfast. After we go to church and then to the gym where she does her pool exercizes. I learn to always be on guard, be extra carefull and responsible. The hardest part of my job is to be seating down and doing nothing. I sit when my patient is reading and i am all done with – more... my duties. It's hard because I always like to have hands on. My patient is adorable we get along. The most enjoyable part of my job is learning from my patient and listening to her stories. – less

The company is good at getting things done, but not enough hours were available. I appreciate their support though during tough situations. They support their caregivers 100%.

Caregave for many different people. Helped them with every day tasks and assisted in daily living necessities.

The people i worked with was good, and i like helping different types of people, and would have like to stayed being a Caregiver but the company didn't have any other clients for me to sit with. So i had to seek other employment.

Typical day would be to help client with morning meds make breakfast tidy up house talk to client prepare lunch give any afternoon meds make dinner make sure any lists family wanted done was completed give client evening meds pass off report to another aide or to family

Overall I have a good relationship with the office staff and principles. Typical work day consists of going to clients location and providing whatever care is required. Office staff are on call 24 hours a day to handle unexpected situations. All the staff that I have worked with have been professional.

Some of the clients have had some form of dementia – more... and at times have been challenging.

My most rewarding times have been the thanks I have gotten from clients connecting with activities they have missed. – less

Communication is easy and readily received. Assignments vary greatly in duration and length of time. Hourly wage is set, no bonus for nocturnal shift work. No benefits.

Senior Helpers is a great company, however they do not hold out enough taxes and they do not pay well or offer benefits to employees.

I needed to hone my CNA skills for a hospital setting. I enjoyed interacting with the elderly and even if they didnt remember. I enjoyed bathing, walking, talking, driving and assisting the patients with their activities of daily living. The hardest part of this job was having years and years of clinical experience and being in an in home setting. I – more... did not always feel comfortable in others homes. Showering, toilet assistance and diapering although I was proficient at it, was also an issue for me because I have always been in a clinical setting. I made it clear to management several times I was over qualified and in school,I was promised more pay but stayed at the same pay rate. – less

I love working with all the different clients, its overall a good working place and good company

I go to client's home to work on a personal level. Each day I manage to learn something new.

I enjoyed working with my client on a daily basis. Getting to know the clients and is the most enjoyable part of the job.
