Working as a Caregiver - CNA/Care Giver New Horizons In-Home Care Employee Review

Feeling a sense of accomplishment helping to make a clients life just a little bit brighter!

Can take a lot of mental energy, and it can be hard emotionally.

The clients appreciate you. They really do, and they'll let you know how happy they are to have you. This job does make a real difference in people's lives day by day. A lot of independence and trust is placed in you as a CG. I appreciate that.

You never really know what you're walking into. No matter what the care plan says there will often times be issues not stated in the care plan, no matter how many questions you ask for clarification. Usually environmental challenges. Clients normally get 40 reimbursable miles a month and after those are gone (they go quick), its at the caregivers expense to run errands for the client.
