Pros

Remote culture cameras not required

Cons

Service line president of Behavioral Health has no experience in BH, Business Development, or home care. Worse, has no desire to learn from others. He treats people poorly, is egotistical, and lacks empathy. Has no business being in a position of power within healthcare and has no respect for people working underneath him. Everything was a “show” for the higher ups. Big manipulator and user of fear tactics. Created a horrible culture since his arrival. Upper management in BH lead with their emotions. Anger outbursts, the silent treatment, public shaming are the norm. Overall poorly behaved “professionals” pretending they know what they’re doing but have no management experience or leadership training. Operations and Business Development play the “blame game” constantly.

Pros

Field staff is good, especially the home health aides. Most of the nurses as well. Medical Directors are thorough.

Cons

Local management is poor. Bad communication, short staffed, take patients that live alone in bad situations with no plan for future care. Disasters waiting to happen. Employee well being is poor. No recognition for things you right or patient/ satisfaction. Nurses don’t get adequate time with patients. I
