Micromanaged, reprimanded for not being perfect, violation of privacy, exposed to infestation daily and treat employees like garbage. “At Will” company they can fire you at any giving time without warning. The supervisors want you to be on call .

Thank you for your review. LIFE Pittsburgh is committed to provide a safe and healthy workplace and would not subject staff to "infestations". As we are caring for the elderly population, there are situations that arise where precaution need to be adopted, and LIFE Pittsburgh provides the necessary PPE to protect our staff. LIFE Pittsburgh is committed to the care and conditions of the Participants we serve, but never at the expense of our staff's health.

Pros

participants and employees are great to work with.

Cons

Upper management does not follow the pace process as said, every participant is not treated equal. Many medication errors, standard care doesn’t happen in timely manner. Unless you have family who push for ongoing comprehensive care , there is a delay in care. Managed by with no management background but rather became upper management due to being there for years.

Thank you for your feedback. LIFE Pittsburgh is committed to treating all of our Participants and staff equally. If there are concerns, please bring these forth to Management or Human Resources so that they may be addressed. The PACE model is contextual and specific to individual needs, so each decision is made to the unique issues to that Participant. We encourage you to talk through any discrepancies that you may encounter.

Pros

The MISSION is wonderful. The execution, however ...

Cons

First, every single morning, managers and RNs SIT in a STAND-UP (what?) for TWO HOURS, making fun of participants. (Aren't stand-ups supposed to be quick meetings where people stand and resolve issues quickly? Not at LIFE Pittsburgh!) It's a horrible experience listening to their disrespectful comments about elderly and/or disabled people who need help. Second, there are several people on staff, including aides and administrators, who treat employees like garbage. I would NEVER recommend this place to work! They're STILL looking for someone to fill my job, that I quit over a year ago. FIND ANOTHER JOB, whatever you do!

Thank you for your feedback. LIFE Pittsburgh would never tolerate any behaviors as mentioned above either to Participants or Staff. LIFE Pittsburgh serves almost 600 Elderly individuals who if not for our staff, may be in a nursing home. It is our staff's commitment to our Participants that makes this program successful.
