COMFORTS OF HOME CARE

Great company to work for, caring and understanding. If you are willing to work a variety of hours and days, you can get plenty of hours. As well, they always make sure you and your client are a match. They did have an on-site workout room (before COVID). They have a benefit plan after you reach a number of hours worked per month. I like their Online scheduling and information system which provides information about the client your are working for as well as access to your scheduled hours in the view of a week or day by day. They are also able to broadcast available shifts or communicate information or updates to all staff simultaneously as well as individually to each of us via email and or text. 

Helping clients with personal hygiene, dressing, making meals, driving clients to appointments; having conversations; taking them to and doing exercises with them.  Learned how to transfer clients from wheelchair to vehicle, couch; that seniors are happier when they are being cared for in their own home.  Management was good and always offered a variety of training sessions.  Worked on my own.  Hardest part not having enough time to write notes before shift ended for some clients.  Most enjoyable part of the job was being appreciated for the work you did for them.

Management was kind and very nice to work with. The wages however are horrendous, absolute poverty wages. This type of work, in general, is very poorly compensated. This type of work is very important, hard, and poorly compensated. I was hired to be full time and never received full-time hours. It was very hard to get enough hours to be full time and I could not support myself as a single person on my wages. I would not recommend working in this field or for this company if you have other options.

The company tried to instill a "family" culture but paid minimum wage or slightly higher. As far as the work I found that minimal background information was given to caregivers about their prospective clients. You were also expected to use your personal vehicle to transport clients to appointments, shopping trips, etc. Mileage was paid but it was minimal. For the 7 years I worked for Comforts of Home Care I witnessed a constant turnover in caregivers and caregiver supervisors. 

Ever since I started at Comforts of Home - Care, I have felt 'at home!'  The team is great to work with and I feel so appreciated.  I have lots of support and can go to my supervisor with any questions I have.  I love what I do because I know I am supporting seniors in the community who really need our help.
Some days are tough, especially when we have a lot of clients to care for, or when someone passes away.  
I love it when we get positive feedback from our clients.  Its so rewarding.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The clients are all great. 
Helping someone is what I love to do 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of training and knowledge provided for the staff 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on the home 
Some are great some are not 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It verified , most days were great

For the most part the assignments have been good. Met lots of interesting new people. Feels great to be able to help others. Sometimes assignments are not fully explained but usually works out okay. The pay is not the greatest but I would recommend working for this company if you are looking for a job that fits your schedule.
