Attendant Care Companies

To anyone reading the bad reviews, keep in mind the people that leave these were probably fired. Attendant Care Companies is very committed to providing excellent care to its clients.  If you can't be honest with yourself, be reflective and take accountability, maybe you should not be in healthcare. It takes commitment, dedication, integrity to take care of other people's loved ones and ACC does not tolerate anything less from its employees.

This is an INDUSTRY that there is a lot of turn-over. So, because of that sometimes the staff in those positions do not want to take accountability; they just want to point fingers and blame others for their negativity.  Do your job, work your shifts, don't show up late or call in and there really isn't any problems.  

After 6 months if you work FT you are offered insurance- health, dental, vision, life.  You start accruing PTO immediately and get holiday pay. There is a ton of opportunity for OT but just don't burn yourself out if you take it.  

The growth of the company is incredible, home health, private duty, skilled care, TBI group homes, and now an ABA autism division, and they serve 3 counties plus.  Must be doing something right for that kind of growth

What is the best part of working at the company?
The clients/kids were the best part, and really the only enjoyable part of working there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being trained or supported in any tangible way. The management has a passive aggressive style and two-faced.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful with no support. It gave me PTSD working there. The culture is based on tattling and inconsistency.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up, set up your room and prepare for the session with the child. If someone did come to supervise, they would sit in the corner with a laptop and not comment on or do anything during the session. When the client "earned" a break we would go to a room to play with other kids or do an in room activity depending on what the client preferred. During the entire session, I would take data on the tablet and fill out the session notes. The parent or guardian would sign it at the end of the shift. If you had a client based out of their home, mileage and time driving there was NOT covered and had to be paid out of pocket by the employees.

I have some experience working in the ABA field as a Behavior Technician. I enjoy working for this company the most because of the amount of support given. Do you ever feel like you're bothering someone with questions or you're emailing to much?  At other places I've worked I would have to email clinicians with questions and sometimes never even get a reply. I would never be able to find them or get a hold of them when needed. At Attendant care, the employees are physically present (or remotely) and easily reachable. The Human resources department as well as clincians and leaders take initiative in making sure their staff is comfortable and well informed. They are always there to provide support no matter the task, and the HR department really advocates for their employees. They are accommodating with your scheduling and overall, everyday needs. Another major plus is that I actually enjoyed the training classes.  Every class was Fun, Thorough and they understand that everyone learns things differently. I've witnessed these things first hand and would be happy to refer anyone seeking employment to this company. 

The clinicians at the Flint center are extremely helpful, encouraging, and supportive. I have never felt “dumb” for asking questions, or made to feel less than when I don’t fully understand something and need more clarification. I am constantly getting feedback and I feel appreciated everyday when I come to work. Supervisors listen to concerns without judgement and are always available. The center lead goes above and beyond for staff and clients. We have multiple “spirit week” theme days throughout the year. Supervisors are extremely encouraging and supportive with advancement. The company provides tuition reimbursement. Scheduling respects your availability and you aren’t penalized for requesting time off. PTO rolls over, and you accrue PTO immediately upon being hired. This is a career that allows you to see your work pay off in the most beautiful way. Everyday is new and exciting. I am always happy to come to work and spend time with the kiddos while assisting in their growth and development. 

Take your employment elsewhere. Management is terribly rude and have no empathy for anyone, communication is so poor, and hours are so unpredictable. Not every supervisor is unsupportive, but the ones that can’t even crack a smile when you walk by makes for a poor environment. Some days you work 0 hours, some days you work 10, sometimes you pull into the parking lot and then find that you are canceled for the day with no prior knowledge. You constantly hear about new incentive programs or rewards that are implemented for a month and then never seen again. It’s nearly impossible to grow with this company and there is no appreciation for the hard work that is put in by each and every technician. This place is full of drama, supervisors talk poorly about techs in a group chat and make you feel guilty for taking a 20 minute break in an 8 hour shift. I truly wish there was a good thing to be said. 

I thoroughly enjoyed working at this location until a few months before I left. The company started micromanaging the clinician schedules and nitpicking clinical choices. They created several forms that clinicians had to fill out every week, which was very time consuming and seemed to be to micromanage us. There are almost no BCBAs at this company who have been certified 5 years or more. The benefits are also terrible. The health insurance was CRAZY expensive. Work from Home days had to be earned and came with a million caveats. The bonus structure made it difficult to bonus unless you billed over 30 hours a week.

Aside from all of that, there was a lot of unnecessary drama and gossip, which can happen at large ABA centers. However, there were no attempts to address the concerns that the drama stemmed from, or to stop the drama from happening.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had great experiences with the families in kiddos.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leadership there has yet to embrace assent-based ABA and children's autonomy and self-advocacy is not promoted. Clinicians who try to improve or change the environment are often ostracized or punished.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The technicians are very close with each other and create a very fun environment, however, leadership micromanages and prioritizes quantity over quality.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day consists of individual supervision with clients and an hour or two of indirect tasks such as updating treatment plans, answering emails or phone calls, or making materials for your clients.

A typical day for me at this job would usually be a great day.  First I would check on the status of my client.  And ask questions about his or her well being with my co worker. I have learned that it takes  care and patience when working with the elderly.  Dementia and Alzheimers are just some  examples.  The hardest part of the job is when assisting the patient when he or she is hostile or volatile at times, but that is when my skill set of patience becomes effective because it is paramount for the patient to feel safe in his or her surroundings.  The most enjoyable part of my job is making sure my client/patient is well taking care of and has a smile on his or her face. And the patient and his or her family feels that I am doing a great job with the services that I provide.

Supervisors seem to care about you but at the end of the day you're just a number to them and you're replaceable. They will micromanage the heck out of you and account for every minute of your day..its smothering. They have zero trust in their employees and it shows. Senority and loyalty mean nothing here. Also never get pregnant while working here...They'll find a way for you to actually lose out on pay during your maternity leave since the company provides nothing for you & theyre cheap. I basically was forced to quit because I had no one to go to..HR is a complete joke and is on the same team as the supervisors.
There are so many other companies out there that actually do care about their employees and pay much better, so don't waste your time here like I did!

This company has been one of the best companies I have worked for. Since starting with Attendant Care in 2020, I have worked in a handful of the centers and each center is so welcoming and supportive. The management team is always willing to help you grow and learn as well. I have had the opportunity to grow within this company which has been amazing and the different opportunities that they offer is incredible compared to other companies. They do fun contests for the staff to get involved within your own center and company wide. It is truly such a fun place to work and making an impact on some pretty great kiddos! Each day if different and you don’t always know what it will look like which is also fun and seeing the progress the kids makes is truly rewarding!
