Don't work there

Pros

The absolute best part was taking care of the patient's.

Cons

The manager was not supportive and the training really sucked. The rules didn't apply to everyone as friendships always got in the way of that. There was nothing confidential. If you talked with the manager about anything, it was told to just about everyone in the office. Just a bunch of back stabbers. Work-life balance was horrible.

Pros

patients were lovely to meet

Cons

Every aspect of the way things were managed was terrible. Training was inadequate, communication about protocols in visiting patients was severely lacking. Certain staff acted as bullies, made me and others feel uncomfortable because we were not in their circle. Best to work there if you are a family member or friend of leadership. Overheard racist and homophobic remarks in office. One employee was caught smoking in office. Another employee arrested for forging prescriptions using deceased patients' names. Management was pressuring staff to make fewer visits to patients. Whole situation was extremely disconcerting.

Pros

Wonderful co-workers in the Hospice field, decent pay for my area (Florida), satisfying and gratifying field of work if you have the right team.

Cons

This is in regard to Kindred Hospice, who was bought out by Curo, and not Kindred Home Health.. Since Kindred Hospice's buyout by Curo, this wonderful company has gone downhill by leaps and bounds. As Kindred, our Hospice team was first in the state with positive reviews by patients and families. It was a wonderful place to work with conscientious, capable management and co-workers who put their patients first. We won awards, were written up in the paper, and felt valued by the company. Our census nearly tripled within two years. Curo bought it out and the numbers speak for themselves. People quit right and left, management was only concerned about the bottom line, and no one in upper management listened. I had already planned on retiring, so I was grateful to get out when I did. It does not have the same atmosphere, the same concern for patients, and the employees that are left are asked to go above and beyond without the compensation they're due. They went from hourly to salary, and anyone in the medical field knows what that means. I wish I could say I would recommend them as an employer, but if you're thinking of applying, check first to see if they are part of Curo.
