Pros

Flexible scheduling, nice balance between outpatient adults and SNF but with cleaner/more stable patients. Easy documentation. Generally speaking the patients have great family support.

Cons

Currently using Casamba which is straight forward, switching to Nethealth soon. We've switched doc systems twice in the last 2 years so that's a bit annoying. FYI this company used to be called Orthopedic and Neurological Rehabilitation (ONR) and has been kind of a mess since transitioning to EMW. Couldn't get any funding for necessary supplies for dysphagia tx or formal tests for anything - so beware of that. The pay is low - $55 hr max. Multi-tier management is unclear and annoying - I find myself saying "who are you!?" a lot in my head when I get e-mails from higher ups. A lot of annoying e-mails to try to boost morale and re: productivity. Point of service documentation expectations (which should be a crime). Productivity expectation is like 87%. Dress code is business casual, no scrubs, which is weird.

Thank you for taking time to write a review; we value and appreciate your feedback! We’re proud of our truly flexible schedule and happy that it enables you to create the work/life balance that fits best! We’re pleased to read that you enjoy the opportunity of working with both outpatient and SNF residents. When we acquired ONR in 2022, we worked diligently to minimize the impact to our teams while moving to consistent business practices and guidelines unifying the two companies. As a result, we have made changes to the platforms we utilize to ensure consistent workflows for our team members, including technology designed to help our residents and their families conveniently connect with the EmpowerMe team. We’re listening to learn and appreciate your comments about our organizational structure and compensation. Thank you for your continued dedication as we work to improve the lives of seniors every day. With your help, we are making a difference!

Pros

The work is satisfying. Working in ALF is great because it is working in their own home setting.

Cons

You are dependent on the rehab director of the building to help build the caseload, and often times they do not get compensation that motivates them to do that. The area directors do not have a good pulse on what the clinic director is actually doing; it’s not managed well.

Thank you for taking time to write a review; we appreciate your feedback. We’re happy to hear that working at EmpowerMe Wellness is satisfying, and that you enjoy working in an assisted living facility! Through therapy, wellness, and connection to seniors – always be on the lookout for seniors at risk. Partner with your Director of Rehab, Area Director of Operations, and our Clinical Support team on what to look for & how to screen; they're there to support you! Our goal is to help seniors live stronger, safer, and more independent lives. We’re listening to learn and appreciate your comments about monetary motivation. We do have a monthly incentive designed to reward CD/DORs who deliver exceptional patient care, lead high-performing communities, and advance EmpowerMe Wellness’s mission. Thank you for your continued dedication to our mission…with your help, we are making a difference!
