Gentiva reviews

Terrible benefits. Senior management cuts spending so much so that our supplies are the worst compared to the other hospice companies that surround us. Patients and their families complain about the cheap supplies all the time. The nurses aides are not fairly compensated. I have frequently given aides money because I see how hard they work and how little corporate cares about them. Corporate flat out lied to us about our health care "improvements". Those never came. I came into work one day and was told that they were cutting my mileage which resulted in about a $400 monthly cut for me personally. They want cheap labor not quality employees. Despite corporates lack of concern for its employees our office is filled with great people who go over and above the call to provide great care. This is one of the reasons this company is still in business. I believe corporate has taken advantage of the economy. They know jobs are hard to come by so they treat employees as replaceable no matter how good the employee is.

1. Sometimes there is a crisis in the realm of staff shortages, which can make things stressful. That is apart of working in the healthcare field though, I worked other places before I came here, and experienced the same thing. 2. I sometimes feel that corporate is disconnected with the reality of what goes on in the field. It sometimes seems that they will often implement something with the intention of trying to make things better, when in reality it makes things more labor intensive. 3. I realize that many of the changes that corporate implements are in an effort to keep up with all the regulations medicare keeps throwing at us. They are doing the best they can to keep us in compliance so that we can keep our jobs. However this can often overwork individuals who are already under strain from their current job responsibilities. I see this mentality across all of the corporate world these days, we need more work done, in less time, no extra compensation. 4. There is not a lof of room for advancement. If you are an RN there are some opportunities that arise that can take you a few steps up (for instance, from field nurse to boss of the office, and possible a regional person), however for Social Worker's, Chaplains, Aids, and office staff, that is as far as you will go.
