Amedisys reviews

401k, medical benefits, salaried...but these things are out there with other companies.

Amedisys has began implementing HUGE changes over the past year. Their nurses and therapist are being asked to maintain a weekly visit rate of 25-35 patients and transmit all computerized notes, orders and Oasis within 24 hrs. This in itself is not impossible. However, we find ourselves choosing between staying up all night or waking at 5am to comply with these demands. Not to mention the fact that we are not compensated for the extra time it takes to meet their new documentation and transmittal time requirements. None of our per visit pay rates have been increased or quotas decreased to date. Therefore, I am now spending twice as much time documenting, beginning my daily visits later each day and getting home later each night....all for the same pay! A week does not go by that we are not asked to spend hours on our company "learn center" to complete mandated continuing education. I cannot speak for all Amedisys' DOO, but ours does not lower our weekly visit quota to compensate for the time required to complete mandatory training. A year ago I would have said that I loved my job and Amedisys was the best company I had ever worked for. Now, I would not recommend anyone with a life outside of work or a family apply. I truly love my DOO, clinical managers and fellow employees...but I need less stress, more sleep and time with my family. The "perks" of home health care (such as a flexible schedule) do not exist any longer at Amedisys and they certainly DO NOT outweigh the headaches!
