Poor Management

Pros

Large company, strong referral base of business

Cons

Management unsupportive of staff concerns, overworked office staff, ignores field staff concerns, multiple managers have departed in last year, unable to fill open positions with qualified managers, compensation is below Denver medical staff average. Their seems to be a lack of career opportunities, positions filled by outside candidates. Low moral.

As the largest Home Healthcare Agency in the state of Colorado and a non profit, CVNA operates on a lean budget in providing services to our seniors with a primary focus on one on one care. The CVNA provides the best training, triage and management support in the industry. Given the current shortage of nurses - we are understaffed - looking to hire LPNs as a solution to the RN shortage. We will probably never the highest compensation which does meet what every one of our clinicians deserve. We work very hard to make sure there is internal equity (current employees) and meet the market demand for new clinicians. Current employees are given first consideration and encouraged to apply for positions - and are required to go through the same process as any applicant. We may not be the highest paid organization in town……what we have to offer – over 128 years of providing healthcare solutions, as a non profit - we are committed to the best in patient care – a training rich environment with continual upgrading of skills and techniques and a census to support our territories. We take your comments seriously and as we go forward hopefully you will see improvement. Thank you for your insight and employment.

Great Mission, change in culture

Pros

The culture is changing! CVNA thrives to keep the value in our mission with patient care. CVNA is constantly trying to improve on services and focusing on new ways we can better provide for our community. When you work for CVNA this isn't just another job you dread having to go to. CVNA makes you feel welcome from the beginning. Your ideas will be listened to and if appropriate they will make necessary changes to implement the ideas. I absolutely love this company and what it stands for. "Visiting Nurse Association is committed to a continuum of health care in the home and community supporting optimal well-being, independence, and dignity." We hire the best so we can be the best in every area of our agency from our field staff to our office staff.

Cons

I really cannot think of anything at the moment. If I have a concern I go directly to my supervisor and share with the team.

Pros

Good pay. Co workers are awesome. Make my own schedule. Hospice managers always have your back. Great communication as a team. Longest place I've ever worked and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. 5 plus years.

Cons

The only thing I find difficult is the being a field employee doesn't allow me to really get to know the office staff. I don't know how or if that can be corrected. But it is probably my biggest complaint. So, I try to make a point of getting to know people on my own. However, those are still mostly the people I make contact with for my specific job. Like supplies,front desk, or HR.

Great to hear from you! This year we’ve been working toward more opportunities for the whole CVNA team to get together more often. The Christmas Party was a great example. At this time, working on a summer event for all CVNA. With our move in the last quarter, the plans include space for the field staff when coming in the field. Like to hear your ideas.
