In Idaho too I think this company kills off the good workers but the main problem I no longer could put up with was casual uncaring, even in the face of gluing unqualified jobs onto mere uncertified caregivers- mostly CNA type work that homemakers are not trained for, nor could ever be paid enough for. I did not expect this, but HISC (at least the franchise in 83814) did not delineate the distinctions. How can people be expected not only cop but excel in pushing around 215 pound clients (who plainly need advanced care) when they were originally prepped if not assured they'd not be held tenable to lifting a limit of a mere 25? Lip service; use you 'til you burn out. I AGREE. If you make it that way without actually throwing your back and whole frame out, getting hurt in the base bargain. No, 'they' do not listen to the clients or workers, I KNOW this. So funny: boy, I sure did get a response and a fast one after I sent my quit notice. And neither did they care to find out why nor to keep me.

I too have worked for home instead in olympia and must say all the above are valid complaints. All I can say is you get what you pay for and if they don't pay up they end up losing some of the best employees who should be as valued as the clients that are benefiting from their care. There is total lack of communication amongst the office staff. Repeated calls to the point of obnoxious only to relay the same information over and over again with some variation or contradictory information. They demand so much as part-time work and yet we are never rewarded for our hard work unless you consider 'verbal' praise over and over again as a reward. Also known as lip service. They use you until you're burnt out. I guess if they don't really listen to what the clients have to say why would they listen to the care givers? We are only their direct care provider right?
