Ageless Living Home Health

It’s an ok place to work, you get to meet new people and work with a variety of patients and nurses. Depending on your branch, your branch managers can get away with a lot, like using profanity with you,  and will push multiple boundaries just to have a patient staffed like messaging/calling you after hours, because the parents need a vacation, or have plans etc. and or the parents threaten to leave,  and it disrupts your personal life.  Management seems to get upset about their high over time rates but they always approve of the nurse’s OT all for a simple threat or because the branch managers or case managers don’t want to deal with the family . The branches also have a hard time following changes to the company, such as pushing a scheduler to talk to families, sometimes even case managers even though that is their responsibility. They don’t really correct them, why? I’m not sure. The job itself is not hard at all, training may seem overwhelming but once you get hands on it’s very repetitive. I think the most challenging part is knowing the patients of your branch, not sure why they would place 1 person for 30+ patients, it takes a team of 2 for any big branch which is every branch they have.  The scheduling manager can be great at times, but I’ve heard her get personal multiple times and it can be unprofessional. Overall it’s an okay opportunity to work in but you will encounter these issues multiple times.

The office staff and managers are very helpful and professional. As a PDN nurse, you will take care of one patient during an entire shift, so it is not stressful of fast paced. Very rewarding.  Most patients have feeding tubes or trachs and are nonverbal and nonambulatory,  but not all. There's always an abundance of clients, so you can work as much (or as little) as you'd like. The only problem is the benefits honestly.  You have to work an average of at least 30 hours a week to be considered full time to receive benefits. Your PTO accrual rate is .02 for every hour worked. So if you work 40 hours a week, you only accrue 0.8 hours of PTO.  Health insurance for one individual ranges from $160-$740 a month. The 401k plan offered is not matched.

Flexibility is excellent. Management struggles to find coverage for patients due to employee shortages. The only downside to working in home health is  finding a good family to work with who are attentive and respectful towards us,  and who value our educated opinions/suggestions as healthcare professionals about the patients' daily care needs. The company is very good in helping you find your fit and providing support until nurses feel ready to work alone, its just a matter of letting management know how you feel and where you are at during your orientation. The pay is competitive. Management is willing to work with all nurses and find a common ground; they are understanding of your needs.

Luckily I have found a good family to work with in this pediatric home care agency. Home care can be many things but if you find a kind family, it will be a good thing. The office staff is really nice. But this agency like all the others, doesn’t really have a lot of flexibility in the jobs they offer. Unless you can work 12 hour shift, you won’t be able to work during the week. I have to work around my family’s schedule and most of the time, the families that have openings only want nurses who can do 12s.  Sometimes recruiters will tell you they have flexible hours available and they don’t. Most of the time that’s what happens. But overall I wouldn’t work for any other home care agency. I’ve worked for several. 

My current position with Ageless living is I am a private duty registered nurse, and I am randomly assigned to different clients on the weekends. I find the workload very satisfactory and rewarding. I’m given different cases weekly that keep me interested and engaged and allow me to do what I love to do best, and that’s helping children.  Overall, I can say is that since my employment with Ageless Living I have been completely grateful with my nursing position and assurance off fair employment treatment. 

I was told to avoid HH as a new PTA grad but I am a single mom and require flexibility.  The best things so far: 

1. An excellent, responsive, good humored supervising PT
2. The ability to shadow multiple sessions before starting 
3. The choice to say no to picking up certain patients/locations

What could be better: 
Maybe more collaboration between PTAs and “happy hours” of a sort.  It is definitely a job where you are solo for most of the time and that’s hard. 

A bit more succinct / clear cut orientation to how to use the documentation system as it took me the most time to figure it out even after a good orientation. 

Overall I love the company and am very happy so far! 

Their benefits are horrible. You are better off purchasing medical benefits through an insurance agent. They do not have competitive pay and their office staff is always changing which comes to show that they can't hold on to their employees. This makes it harder for us nurses to communicate with someone we are comfortable with. 
The only time you can get a raise or bonues is when they really need you to staff a shift. No raises are offered for good job performance. In my opinion I feel they are more about money than actually caring about our patient. We will definitely be looking for another agency.

WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO WORK AT, ITS BECAUSE IT IS!!!!!!!! Ageless Living Home Health not only prioritizes the care and success of their kids but also for their team members, in office or on the nursing/therapy field! I have had the privilege to work for them since April, and I'm the happiest I've ever been. I highly encourage nurses to apply because you will be valued not only as a clinician but as a person. The culture of this company can't be found elsewhere! 

The benefits are good but they are cheap when it comes to pay. It’s the lowest paying company I’ve worked for.The office is all messed up especially Merry. They lack communication and when hiring for in office positions they would rather hire someone from another agency than someone within their team. They are pretty much taking all PSA employees. They all cater to Merry. I don’t recommend working for them the benefits aren’t worth it because the pay is cheap.

Ageless Living Home Health puts culture and patient care first.  Corporate leadership is local in Arlington, TX and the COO of the company is in the office daily. There is a wonderful, collaborative atmosphere and you can feel that when you are inside the purple and green walls at every location.  Ageless Living offers competitive wages and the same benefits for all employees (office and field staff).  You're more than just another employee, you are part of the #gatorcrew.
