Age Well

I have worked in several different organizations that support older adults and Age Well has been without a doubt the best experience that I've had in this field. Everyone I encountered in my time at Age Well cared deeply about the mission and the clients served - from client-facing staff to the administrative and leadership teams. The work is difficult due to the nature of the service landscape in Vermont, but there was always someone willing to help problem-solve to reach creative solutions to meet the needs of the clients when needed. Everyone at Age Well works very hard, so if you're looking for an easy job this probably isn't the right organization for you. However, it's nice to be amongst people who are always willing to give their best effort for the clients and organization - and the organization strongly supports work-life balance and healthy work and client boundaries. The leadership team is almost always willing to make changes to adapt to employee and client needs, and very obviously cares deeply about both. I felt supported and fairly compensated in each of the positions that I held during my time there. If you are someone who endeavors to go above and beyond and want to advance in your career, there are many opportunities here. The majority of leaders and managers in the organization advanced from other roles within - and there is a great culture of learning. Age Well is an organization that rarely, if ever, turns clients away from service and as a result, the nature of the client work can at times be more complex than at similar agencies. It is incredibly rewarding work, but can certainly be difficult. Support is available - and the people that I've seen who have done the best there are those who reach out for that support whenever needed to help prevent compassion fatigue and stress. Overall, if your passion is working with older adults or serving the community - I'd highly recommend this employer. 

I have been at Age Well for several years and love the organization, the mission, the clients and my coworkers. There is no doubt that the work of Case Manager is challenging and not for everyone. The role requires high level of organization and one must have the capacity to deal with stressful and heartbreaking  situations. You will learn so much about many programs, benefits and supports. You have plenty support yet also autonomy and are not really micro managed. As long as you are true to the mission and work you will succeed.
Work -life balance is excellent and they recognize that this work is difficult. Must be empathetic yet be able to set firm boundaries. Age Well has been so good to me and I have had many other roles at several other non profits in the area and feel the size and support (incl great onboarding &training ongoing support) is paramount to any other I have been at.

Age Well is a 40 plus year nonprofit that is adapting to an increasing number of aging Vermonters who need support and services to remain independent and at home.  With a wide array of services, this is an organization that has needed to keep up with the fast-paced healthcare environment and has made great strides to evolve and grow.  Age Well supports a culture of innovation and is always striving to ensure that employees have a voice.  The work we do is not easy and the volume can be at times overwhelming but the result is providing topnotch programs such as Care Coordination, Meals on Wheels and so much more to those who need it most.  This is rewarding work in an exciting environment.

I worked at Age Well for 10 years and I based my ratings on my experience working with the Executive Director who hired me.  That Executive Director retired and they hired a new Executive Director who laid off my whole department 6 months after he was hired.  I know there have been a lot of changes since I left and I have no idea what it is like to work there now.  I have heard rumors and gossip that indicate all is not well and I know that the Executive Director left unexpectedly over a weekend.  They now have an Interim Director that I know by reputation and I am hopeful that she can rescue the organization.

Great company culture doesn't happen on its own. At Age Well, it's the mission and professional, friendly staff that lead the way, and as a result, Age Well's culture is top-notch! The mission "To provide the support and guidance that inspires our community to embrace aging with confidence" leads the way in everything we do. It provides guidance for staff to set and balance priorities and motivates the people doing the work to support older adults.

I worked at Age Well through a time of significant transition.  There were some positives and real negatives in the leadership.  Most of those folks have changed.  What is left are wonderful people at a mission driven organization,  this was the most fulfilled I have felt at work, though work life balance was a challenge.  The clients are amazing and most of the staff felt like a family. 

Constant e-mail/phone/teams communication. Expected routine is to over-report and under deliver.  Bare minimum information or effort on many employees, but due to lack of support/understanding from supervisors.
Prepare to be micro-managed, encouraged to over-report and under-deliver.

Leadership Team, Colleagues and Staff are all about delivering the best possible service to our clients. Wonderful work environment, very supportive and nurturing. Flexible scheduling.

The work can be stressful and emotionally draining.  You provide over the phone counseling to seniors and family members that could be in crisis, struggling financially, or have critical medical issues.

The company itself is great! You get to meet with everyone during your five weeks of training! Once you’re done with training: you’re throw in with zero support or help. The supervisors are garbage. It isn’t worth working here. Steer clear!
