I applied for an entry level client management position with Bayada early in 2015 and things looked…read morepromising. I believe in their message, and the people I spoke with seemed to believe in it, too. However, it soon became apparent that Bayada is an office full of opportunists and cliques. I was strung along for over a month during the interview process. I interviewed with a recruiter on the phone, had two in-person interviews with Client Managers, and one in-person interview with the area Client Director. Finally, I was asked to come back to "job shadow" a client associate (the position I was applying for) and a recruiter. The recruiter indicated that a job shadow is something they only did with applicants whom they were very interested in. I had to wait about a week between each interview and the job shadow. I passed out Thank You notes each time, I was constantly greeted with praise and promise, and I was excited for the opportunity. However, after my job shadow, I never received another communication from anybody on the Bayada team. I emailed the recruiter twice to confirm that they had everything they would need, but I heard nothing. I understand that it's not mandatory for an employer to alert applicants that they have chosen a different employee, but after such a long and arduous process, I would have at least expected an email back. What really irks me is that it seems like my employment opportunity boiled down to a popularity contest. I felt very much like the two people I "job shadowed" were basically given a vote on whether or not to keep me. I think that should be the hiring manager's job, but that's just me, I guess. Bayada is an organization that preaches respect, self-actualization, and compassion, but it is clear that they have none of these values for their prospective employees. I hope that someday, somebody will come into the Minnetonka Office who cares more about the company message than their goals for expansion.

My family and I have been clients of Living Life Home Care for more than a year and a half, so I'm…read morewriting my review long after the honeymoon period is over. When I realized that I needed the assistance and expertise of home health aides for my parents, my friends cautioned me to be patient and persistent because I'd probably go through many before I would find one or two that were suitable. Well, this sounded terrible, so I kept asking for recommendations of a company to go through. All I kept getting were "Don't use ___(name of company)______." Until a dear friend said, "You'll want to call Living Life Home Care. It's the company that the hospice people pointed me to, off the record." So I called Mike at Living Life, and the rest is history. The social worker who came to meet with us listened deeply to our needs and discerned the personalities of my parents. The first caregiver they matched us with for my mom, T (using her initial for privacy) was perfect from the start. She knew how to handle the physical needs of my mom, who had just entered hospice at home -- but she also knew how to handle her temper tirades with gentleness and care, all while being highly professional. T was with mom for about 9 months, up to the day she passed away. Then she transitioned to caring for dad and has been doing so for the past 8 months. My parents' needs changed over time due to illness and infirmity, and T knew how to adapt and assist all of us through those changes. When my dad was ill last year for an extended period (while mom was still alive and with T), I called Mike with emergency needs and he was able to meet them even though they were quite immediate and required long shifts. He paired us with L, a male aide, who was also perfect for my dad's personality and needs. L was also so amazing with dad -- tending to his physical needs, and made dad feel safe and secure. And now that T is on vacation for three weeks, we were again gifted with R, who has such a different personality than T -- and yet my dad has transitioned so seamlessly to her care. At the end of mom's life when she was in and out of a hospice care facility, Mike again came through to meet our immediate and urgent ramped-up staffing needs. The nursing oversight and support that Kathy provides is incredible. She was able to discern subtle changes in health status to provide feedback, and to help the health aides (I'm presuming) anticipate and implement changes to care. She does all of this with attention to saving us from needless/extra work and energy expenditure. She is also amazing. I don't know how they all do it -- but they do it with such kindness, care, attention, and compassion. I don't know what else I could ask for.
