Comcare

day at work: scheduled clients to meet, prioritized with health issues, and took care of their issues, eg. wound drsg or injections ect.

I have learned a great deal from taking courses on my own and learning to be my own team leader. nurses learning from nurses.

Management:I found you were not listened to when problems arise. You want to use them as a resource and the higher up staff can't help, or they say no time to help. When it was comcare, I was proud to work there, everyone worked together and management worked well with the nurses. Now that Revera took over, all the fun ,teamwork, has changed. They hired off the street fulltime not allowing reg partime staff chance for fulltime, and nurses like myself ,6 years there, are left on partime hours and decreased to minimal. Bad atmosphere to work in now, your totally on your own and they have short supply of work. A lot of tension with the team members and nurses due to this. A lot of nurses that had been there for years have left.....not enough work hours and bad management.

the hardest part of this past job as explained is having no real management to rely on. I have learned a available lesson through this, to not treat anyone as they have.

Most enjoyable part of nursing is working with the clients and watching their satisfaction expressed with a smile. They always appreciate what we do, and it is a pleasure to do so.

That's what nursing is about! Caring!

Working for Comcare was a good learning experience. I enjoyed visiting my clients and getting to know them. Seniors enjoy company and sometime a PSW is the only person they see each day. Management were good. Always ready to help with problems and willing to allow their workers to make decisions that would benefit their their clients. In this job, you don't see your co-workers, but when you meet up for training seminars or get to-gethers, it's great to discuss different ways to make the job easier and more fulfilling.
The hardest part of the job was the amount of travel involved and the wear and tear on my vehicle. Driving in all kinds of weather to serve clients could be a challenge. Losing clients when they passed away was another sad, but inevitable part of the job. Being able to help people and assist them in being able to remain in their own homes, and care for their needs...making a difference in someone's life is a great enjoyment in this position. If you can handle the travel, this is a good job.

I loved working and caring for people. I would arrive get the person up bathed and ready for the day,make beds feed them give meds,make lunch and meal prep for evening.Do physio or walk them.You always got things ready for your relief person (co-worker).The hardest part of the job is when your client dies,very hard ,and very emotioal.You become very attached to your client and there entire family.The best part of the job is meeting people and helping people.I love doing both .

I learn more about culture, and personal views. I was able to give care to clts in there personal enviroment with respent and diginity. I understand that each clt is their own person and should be treated like one. Everyone worked as a team member. We helped each other out to accomplished a goal, meet the clts needs.

I would drive from one home to another taking care of the elderly. I mostly worked on my own, sometimes had another worker to lift patients. The hardest part of the job was when my clients became so ill they were hospitalized, or when they passed away. The most enjoyable part of the job was listening to the elderly tell funny stories and share their life story.

Liked the fact that I was literally my own boss in the community setting unless I had questions about a client's care and then I could phone the doctor and/or CCAC.

I started at Comcare when graduated from Nursing. I started out as Community Nurse and thrn went on to be a Team Leader Dressing Clerk for the CCAC contract. I enjoyed working in the hospital.

Enjoyable employment working with the public.  Addressing individual needs with every day necessities.  Utilizing my education and skills to help individuals with their daily functions.

Great for a variety of clients, lots of travelling at times related to the amount of clients who live outside of town.  Management was awesome, very supportive.

Company was sold to reveria and Comcare no longer exists. Staff were let go as positions were terminated. Company was positive and good peer support. To bad they no longer exist
