Location: PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA (Review originally posted under "Accentcare Hospice", formerly known as Seasons Hospice) Management is ignorant, unprofessional, and incompetent in their overall job capacities. As well as disrespectful & condescending to their staff. They won't hesitate to throw their nurses under the bus in front of their bosses to save face. Routinely plays favorites. Rewards some nurses with bonuses & incentives while denying the same bonuses & incentives to other nurses doing the exact same work. Gives unfair scheduling assignments to the outspoken nurses who stand up for themselves. Does nothing to protect its employees from a hostile workplace environment. Knowingly turns a blind eye to complaints of employee bullying & intimidation. Will even find a reason to unfairly write you up if you become a bit too vocal. Your verbalized concerns are ignored at every level of management, including the corporate executive levels. Your concerns are also ignored by HR, as HR is prejudiced and will always side with management. Has a high turnover of employees. Grossly underpays its staff. Doesnt provide even basic cost-of-living raises. Doesnt even attempt to stay salary-competitive with other local hospice agencies. The other local hospice agencies are paying their nurses $4-5/hr more. Provides its employees with zero loyalty and job security. Views its employees as nothing more than replaceable ID numbers on a payroll sheet. Does not value, appreciate, or respect its hard-working employees. Is well aware there is problematic understaffing issues... yet does nothing about it and still expects an unreasonable amount of work to get done. Is too cheap to put a paid on-call system in place to cover staff call-offs... which often contributes to the understaffing issues. Makes you clock out for lunch breaks that you arent even able to take because you're too busy & understaffed. Will do anything for patient numbers. Regularly accepts patients that might not even be hospice-appropriate in order to meet their number quotas... and then acts surprised with their high percentage of patient revocations once patients & families wise up. Expects staff to document patient eligibility criteria where patient eligibility criteria might not exist... teetering dangerously close to medical fraud. Hides behind this corrupt & immoral behavior with their sugar-coated rainbows & sunshine hospice philosophy. If you're looking for a decent Hospice agency to work for in SW Florida.... Accentcare Hospice is definitely NOT it. You deserve much better.
