Meeting and helping people is a wonderful experience and is the most enjoyable part of this type of work. 
Ability360 does try to find you clients in your area and the in hours you have available. If there aren't any or many people in your area, then be ready to travel.
I appreciated that they required the client to provide their own transportation and full coverage insurance on their vehicle.
The pay should be better, especially when you're assisting a client that needs total care, bathing and incontinent care.  
Caregivers should be earning $20. an hour, at the very minimum. 
Ability provided my Direct Care Workers (DCW) training and CPR.
I had been told then that the CPR was mine and it would be taken out of my first paycheck. 
When I left the company and requested my CPR card, I was told I had to pay for it.
There was no opportunity for advancement within the company.
There were no care provider meetings or support, or additional training opportunities offered. Gloves were supposed to be provided and most times they were out. No reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses.


In a caregiver Job which involved assisting with daily living activities, providing emotional support, monitoring health conditions and comfortable environment for 
the individual receiving care. In ability 360  l  learned on time management  which improved  my communication with residents , families, Problem solving and critical thinking in unexpected situations and heaithcare procedures.
The management team was welcoming and always helped in improving my Job by being stronger sense of responsibility and reliability. Workplace culture  was very important and valued behaviors and attitudes shared within the workplace. Hardest part of the job was when lifting and physical strain in assisting resident also when dealing with sudden health issues. Most enjoyable is providing comfort and companionship to those who might feel lonely .

I worked for the company Ability360 for 3 years, not always fulltime.  Ability360 was very flexable with my work schedule.  I appreciated the fact that they were willing to work with me and the schedule that best fit my needs.  I learned that kindness goes a long way.  Ability360 was always great to work for although I did take care of an extra hard client, a quadriplegic with a lot of demands that not a lot of others would tollerate.  He was very demanding yet kind at the same time.  I do not regret this job in the slightest , yet, salary was not what I beleive was a unique case and required much more than an average client.   I truly enjoyed what I learned through working with someone like my client.  He loves live and expects others to be his arms and legs... Who wouldnt.   Great company and great people overall.

At first I worked 40 hours a week and did a lot of respite hours for the family...and towards the end many things changed ! We could only work
17 hours a week and no respite hours unless
We had their insurance ...when the economy
Went down they took money from our checks
to pay other caregiver ...we would get gift cards
for Xmas and for doing a great job and that was taken as well( No incentive ) A lot changed , in spite of everything it was a great place too work. My boss was the best of the best at Ability 360 ....thinking about going back.!!

A typical day involved monitoring my mother's blood sugar and blood pressure, preparation of diabetic meals, some physical therapy exercises, and the dispensing of medications.  Trying to manage her diabetes was one of the more stressful factors, however, caring for her was one of the more gratifying experiences. Thanks to the training and support staff at Ability360 I was able to care for my mother at home.

This company doesn't promote anybody that's from the inside the office they don't promote burnouts if the consumer or the employer getting burned out they don't offer help they don't offer bonuses and if they do this in some care-point situation that person's got to work like 1,000 hours before you get the care points which can take a year there's no advancement there's no good job or nothing like that it's just there's nothing it's just nothing.

This company operates like a small home care company that is run by a family. Good intentions but lacking skilled leaders. I think they try hard but lack any experience outside of this company. With that there are communication issues and expectation differences depending on the person. Know that some are treated entirely different than others depending on favorites. This company is full of cliques.   A person could have a wonderful experience and another a terrible experience simply by being liked by certain people.
