I have been with this company for almost 2 years. The reason I stay is I have a relationship with my clients. It really upsets me to have a temp client tell me that they have had no visits cause the office tells them that there is no worker available. It really bothers me when I only get 20 hours a week. Then they expect you too work 9-10hrs a day on weekend. From what I have heard from part time nursing students they are working 9-10 hrs. I have question schedulers (that we don't have) and they don't know what the answer is too it. I would call my supervisor on it but she never gets back too me about anything. Carepartners wonder why employees leave or go for other jobs. I put in a new availability form 6 weeks ago I still don't know if I have that day off. It is pretty sad I must say if your supervisor can not follow up on these matters. I believe it was a big mistake to let carepartners take us over.

Many of my days are only three or four hours. What gets me boiling is the calls while at clients, on my weekend off and requests to work outside of my availability or area that shows up on my ipad as a refusal. Also "temporarily" removing permanent clients to put in ones I have never or rarely seen. I've recently changed my schedule to give me a lunch hour M-F, but feel like I have to fight for a lunch break on weekends to work. Do they really think that we can go from 0600 to 1600 without a break? Travel time is not a break, nor should I be expected to eat while driving. I'm not a PSW robot!

Care Partners has a new policy that they will tally up the travel time since we have the Ipads. The old way was better when we were in control of reporting our travel time. It was more accurate. We dont have the time to go into the office to discuss the discrepencies that were made because they were not totalled to the same amount of driving kms that we actually drove.

Just the other day I found out that they scheduled me for a client and when I checked the mileage and refused, they had a couple of juniors that should have done this client, The problem is we trust them to do it right as we have no way of knowing majority of the time!!!!

Seems like schedulers often pay no attention to the times they are putting on schedules or how long travel takes. At times put excessive hours on without asking.. Lately have not been notified when clients die or go to hospital.

When losing clients due to hospital hold or when they are no longer need of service, they do not give you repacement hours, no extra hours had to work out of area to make this up and lasted over 2 months, where is senorita first during the weekday, senority on weekend reversed. They state their is not many hours at this time. Than why do care partners hire new workers. I am 4th in senority for area, had to phone daily without knowing where I stand. In 21 years of senority have never seen the hours go down, making more and getting less hours equals the same pay at before wage enhancements.

They continue to try to give you more clients and I find I have to continue to remind them of the 82hour bi-weekly thing and also the time I need to travel between rural clients!

When I started it was just Red Cross, it was a good company you were treated with kindness and respect and felt appreciated, the merge happened and we became Red Cross Care Partners, appreciation became less and less. After it was just Care Partners expectations became higher but no appreciation. No Christmas card or gift card, not even a merry Christmas, PSW day nothing. Where is the love for their employees. They say they want it to be a place people want to work but we are losing good workers because of lack gratitude for what we do in a day. Not to mention communication severely lacks, I never know what is new and going on
