Devoted Guardians

I would steer away from working here. The communication is terrible. You call and call and can never get anyone on the phone. You have to leave a message and pray someone will call you back. They blame it on Covid/Monday’s (even when it’s not a Monday) so good luck getting around that.

They also promise bonuses after working certain hours and won’t pay you on it.  Still waiting for mine when I’ve been “assured it will be on your next check” and it never is. 

Also, when you are told you will be paid a certain amount for hourly for clients but then when clients change the desired hours and the rate changes substantially and your pay goes down, you won’t be notified of that either. 

You will however become like family to your clients and therefore put up with the horrid office staff because you love your clients and their families. 

All in all I feel completely undervalued as an employee, HR doesn’t do anything to help, schedulers don’t return calls, the “caregiver advocates” are just talk. Provide lots of lip service but nothing ever gets handled. If you really need a job and love the elderly this is for you. But if you expect more than a headache of a office staff go elsewhere. I wish I did! 

Before orientation, I had to get a TB shot (standard requirement for health-care) and pay out of pocket. I had to renew my first aid and CPR certifications, which is understandable. It costs me $50 to do so through them. So before meeting my first client, I spent around $100 to get the job in the first place (when considering transportation costs, scrubs/uniforms, etc). That would be okay if they paid a bit more. The office staff is sometimes well organized, well informed, and do a great job with scheduling and such. Other days... not so much. Depending on the issue, the caregiver could be blamed (and deal with the consequences). I've had clients cancel and not be informed of that. You can pretty much decide your schedule for the most part, as long as a client is in need within your desired time frame. Training is minimal, especially when you put into context the importance of the job. They do offer online courses you can/should take on your own time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility. You choose your own days and hours and clients. Requesting time off is a breeze. There is paid sick time. You earn bonuses. You can move up in the company easily if you want to. Good job security.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The benefits aren't good and the pay like most caregiving agencies isn't good. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pretty easy. You click in and out on an app on your phone and can reach people at the office by phone or email if needed or go right to the office. There's a yearly company party that's really fun. Everyone is usually pretty positive and helpful. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive to your clients, clock in, work, clock out, repeat. I mean typically for me it's cleaning houses, running errands, cooking, laundry, helping with things like showers and dressing.

I am a former employee and It has been such a pleasure working for Devoted Guardians for over a year. A company that I am proud to represent even after my employment with them. Each and everyone (including the owner) are all very involved and dedicated to make sure that all clients are happy and cared for, which is a company you want to work for if you have a passion to work with seniors.

I felt valued and supported throughout my employment. My position was very rewarding and yet it can be quite stressful at times. I was able to trust each and every one on staff to make sure everything will go right. They care a lot about their employees and they offer good training, support and guidance throughout your whole employment. 

I cannot imagine anyone working for Devoted Guardians giving them a bad review. Have worked for them almost 3 yrs. They are THE best of any assisted living agency I have worked for. They are so professional, yet approachable, with their clients AND their employees. They care about both, trying to create a good match for client and caregivers. Having benefits is less of a priority to me than being treated fairly and as a valued employee. One does not always find that in Corporate America today. They give you choices as to how many hours you want to work, distance you are willing to drive and scope of responsibilities you are willing to do. Can't say enough good about them. They are tops!!

I did a lot of work for devoted guardians and they yelled at me and told me a I wasn't a good fit. I was harassed by the clients. I tried to quit and they told me they wanted me to stay and I was doing a great job. Then the next month they fired me for no apparent reason. They sent me a text instead of talking with me about what was going on and they were very rude to me when I tried to call and talk about it. No one gave me a clear reason, they just said some of the clients didn't like me. I was kind and compassionate with every client and did my very best to love them, they just treated me with disdain and fired me for no reason.  They started booing me before I even did anything. As soon as the door opened clients started booing me.

I was a family caregiver taking care of my Mother who has Alzheimer's & Aggressive Frontotemporal Dementia. When I decided to give away part of my weekly hours so another caregiver could come in to watch my Mother. Let me just say that the office staff is incompetent!  They do NOT listen to the needs or wants of the client.  They have too many clients & not enough caregivers let alone experienced caregivers.  The lack of communication between office staff members was so frustrating & their lack of respect & honesty to the employees & clients.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I Can Reach A Team Member As I Need Them. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I Can't Always Get The Case's I Pick From A Mass Texting System... I  Want To Work More Hour's In A Day, Not More Case's To Get The Hour's In A Day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There Are  Friendly People Running The Business Office.  Training Is Provided. 
 Safe Clean And Well Maintained. 
They Care For Both Employees And Clients. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I Am Able To Pick My Case Load As The Openings Are Posted.

The job was very rewarding and wonderful to work with the elderly. To give companionship to the elderly and help them with day to day tasks was full filing. You create bonds, and friendships with the people who were once young also. To sit with the elderly and hear their stories, and just to be there for them was something that all human hearts need to experience. The schedule was flexible, the staff was amazing, the pay was great, and you make your schedule by picking up added jobs. I have nothing but great things to say about devoted because what they do is awesome!
