Abode Care Partners

I’ve been with them for 7 months now. So far it has been awesome. There is support when you ask for it, and autonomy when you don’t need help. I tend to be a needier individual since I’m still a new NP, and I’ve never been turned away or made to feel incompetent. EVERYONE I have contacted in ICP has been so supportive in guiding me when needed, even if it wasn’t “their job”. This is everyone from HR, to onboarding, chart review, supervisors, everyone. 

This position was offered to me prior to taking my boards exam as a new graduate nurse practitioner. The interview process was calm and inviting. Started off with a screening phone call, I felt like this was basically to ensure I knew what the position I applied for was and to explain a bit about the company. Then there was a zoom interview with a few HR and clinical personnel. Lastly, there was an on site interview with the facility and an ICP rep. It was an amazing set up and I was impressed. 

Upon hiring, the onboarding process was easy and comfortable. Onboarding took place in Little Rock for me, and I was provided with everything I needed to get started and to be successful. This took part over a couple days in Little Rock (for me) and was honestly such a nice experience! 

Shortly after onboarding I found out I was pregnant and normally this would cause a lot of anxiety when starting a new job - but I have been met with nothing but amazing support and stress relief. 

There are SO many benefits to this position, especially as a new graduate NP. I have an amazing collaborating MD. There is tons of in-facility support as well as appropriate ICP check -ins with management as the supervisor makes rounds, or calls/emails when needed.

I don’t feel overwhelmed, stressed, or micromanaged. In my experience I have not had any visits from ICP that were not planned and I knew in advance, I know these visits can be a possibility at any time though.  My supervisor (won’t mention names, but she’s AMAZING and so so so kind) is really good about communication. 

I could honestly go on, and on. 

Abode started out as a great company to work for until management was wiped clean and replaced. The pay is good, but not good enough to make up for the lack of work/life balance. Management changed and they started to micromanage every inch of what each admin employee does. On top of that, they expect you to work miracles and send providers distances that they didn’t sign up for when they applied and got hired on. They pile on tasks that need to be completed throughout each work day, which was very difficult to balance. On top of that, you are expected to take calls and handle abuse by the patient if they don’t get their way. You have to work closely with nurse practitioners who can make your job very difficult, I had to work with one who would change her schedule around after the patients were confirmed for the next day resulting in no shows and disgruntled patients. Management has high expectations for a company who is understaffed, unless you are a NP or in a management position, you do not matter. 

Things I wish I had known....they (administration) are nice but some will bother you about your productivity to the point that it's hard to be productive. Goals/expectations are set and then moved on you frequently. 

It is a business first and foremost, the FACILITY IS THIER CLIENT and as a provider YOU are 100% REPLACEABLE. You need to read that again! I promise this is exactly how it works out for the APRN. The PTO is given but can be taken away and you'll be left having days without pay AFTER THE FACT if you didn't meet your "numbers."

The bonus structure is hardly attainable and certainly not beneficial for you - no matter how hard you work or how it's worded in their handbook. Trust me, don't get roped in by "you can easily meet your bonus." B.S. 

Overall they supply you with whatever you need. Easy to talk to..until a certain point. They do try and work with you, to a certain point as well. Hours were flexible. 

Management is weak. There is no communication. They do not seem to care about their employees. TURNOVER is really HIGH. You would think that would be their biggest clue. In addition, supervisors are incompetent and do not have any recent clinical skills required in the field. They do not know what the mid level provider is dealing with on a day to day basis. Also, they provide less than glowing references because they are upset staff has resigned; regardless of good evaluations that have been documented. On my first interview, the COO/CEO said she was happy to get a warm body hired! Very reassuring for a new employee to hear from upper level management. Many people have quit within a couple of months of hire. Mainly Nurse Practitioners. This place is a house of cards.

Lots of paperwork to do to help corporate people complete their jobs too. Being an NP we are the frontline and should have people helping us complete tasks to be more efficient. Instead you get 17 page packets of paper to fill out that are unbillable. They tell you its work life balance but......if you are an empty nester with no plans you can work long hours and make decent money.  If you email, call, text management well I am still waiting on a return text from first weekend I was on call.  Oh and on-call involves covering for 16 buildings so expect 30-60 phone calls to chart on a Saturday or Sunday. Chaotic work environments, no office space in facility.

Horrific management whom is simply out of touch with reality versus expectations. The position is assembly line medicine and you’re expected to bill, bill, bill if you want to keep a livable wage. Pay structure is extremely sketchy coupled with unpaid call expectations. Be prepared to work 60+ hours a week just to bring home less than an RN’s salary. Management is out of touch with modern day demands of medicine and the company is ran by A- non practicing APRNs and B- newly hired MBA’s who know nothing about being a medical provider. Worst job I’ve ever had. RUN! 

Lots of potential, serving primarily the geriatric population. Unfortunately the practice needs some serious reconstruction. Very poor management. High turnover, especially with NPs. Very money hungry, which is unfortunate because quality of patient care is compromised. Very poor communication from upper management. Onboarding and training is insufficient. The NPs I worked with were great but all frustrated with the same things. 

If you are independent, have a goal in mind and follow up, you can easily see 15-20 residents daily.  Doing so allows me to reach bonus each month.  I have never worked at a job so flexible.  As long as I see my residents and provide good care, I can make my own schedule.  I am given 3 weeks of PTO and they pay for all but 25 dollars of my health insurance.  401K match.  If you enjoy working with the elderly this is for you.  The only negative point is that the homes are usually understaffed and turnover in CNA's is common.  

I love what I do every day and what our company stands for, making a difference in the lives of our patients and communities. The company is rapidly growing and there is always room to grow and advance. Additionally, the company is very flexible and understanding of employee's personal lives. If you're looking for a career where patient care is the #1 priority and you're treated as a human being rather than just a number, Western Reserve Medical Group is the place for you.

Abode Care Partners brings primary care services to Senior Living Communities (personal care, assisted living, independent living and memory care), private homes, Group Homes IDD and Skilled Nursing Facilities.  This is a growing company and like all new businesses there are some growing pains. However, there are wonderful leaders in charge that I can put 100% confidence in and who are making positive changes. The admin support functions are mostly work from home which is a wonderful perk. The NP positions are better suited for someone who has experience in one of the above care settings.
