Do NOT get a job here if your children get sick easily. Their new attendance policy sucks. Daycares will not take sick children, schools send sick children home. Grandparents have to work now to even pay their own rent, it also takes 2 parents to work. It does not matter if you get a note from the DR. saying your kid is sick, we still get penalized. Of course we are going to stay home with our sick kid. If we do not have enough PTO days to cover the absence we will get wrote up, if it happens 3X, we get to talk to Jesse in HR who is RUDE, one more time and we get fired. New Horizons at one time, was a very caring "people first" company. They still claim they are people first, however, now it is a huge company all corporate, and bottom line is the pocket book of the CEO! They do not care about the employees anymore, we are a person to fill a shift. They will schedule caregivers with no experience with Vital clients. Lie to the client stating their caregiver coming is experienced, (if they even bother to let us know a new caregiver is coming). They will lie to the CG saying the client is so SWEET when in fact they know otherwise! Hire any company besides NH if you want to avoid a headache. They will come respond to this review by saying they are a "people first company" That is a huge LIE-they are a money first company. They make millions of dollars, yet can't even contribute to any sort of retirement plan for their employees. The insurance sucks. They can buy superbowl commercials, yet can't treat their employees like they should, invest in your people NH!! If you want a job, apply for the state, free insurance, we get to choose our clients, hours, the pay is within a buck of NH, the free medical, optical, and dental insurance is worth it. While working for NH, I have drove to a clients house, look at the schedule to find the apartment number and the shift has been taken off my schedule. BAM! loss of income, no COMMUNICATION from NH. RUDE!! Before this company exploded, they use to treat us well. A good way to keep employees is treat them with respect. This company will not do that. The ONLY reason I stay is because of the clients. There are amazing caregivers there, To bad we have to work for shitty management. Other caregivers can attest to this. NH pulls us off of ongoing clients for no reason, staffing tells us they were told to from HR. So disrespectful. As far as the incentive program they have to "reward" employees, People don't waste your time, you will never get enough points to do anything with. NH changed the program a year ago, now it is a pain to earn points, and basically a complete waste of time.
Do Better New Horizons!
Do Better for your employees so we can do better for our clients!!!! We are taking care of the vulnerable class of society! Elders, Pediatrics, Developmentally delayed, this society of individuals deserves great caregivers. NH is not keeping Great caregivers..
Also, you will not find me as a client, or a employee. I am a employee with almost 9 years with NH, I however due to the fear retaliation from Jesse in HR, I will not be using my true identity.
