This DTA has the potential to be awesome if they hire staff with better work ethic, hold current staff accountable and put stronger management in place. The job overall is good and the members are awesome. What makes the job challenging is the favoritism and lack of structure. A typical day consists of supporting members with developmental disabilities. We play some games, do art projects, work  on personalized goals with members and watch movies EVERY SINGLE DAY :(. They do not facilitate any outings at this DTA, so sometimes it's extremely tiresome and boring being cooped up in the building all day. I've learned from some of the members what works for them and what doesn't. Some members also know how to advocate for themselves and have taught me how to care for them in the way that they like. The workplace culture is weird. One day everyone is nice and talking to you and the next day the entire clique is shunning you, smh. It's not all bad though, we do have some good and funny times together as a team. The hardest part of the job is seeing the members not get the proper care they need; and knowing that there isn't anyone onsite you can go to about it without being labeled as a complainer.  It can also be very strenuous some days with lifting some of the members; especially since the work load is not split fairly. The DTA manager is nice as a person, but is not so great as a manager due to not being able to separate friendship/business and not holding staff accountable. Whenever you go to her with a serious concern about how the members are being cared for, she makes you feel as if you're bothering her or wants to label you as a complainer. Instead of holding her staff accountable and requiring them to do the job that they are getting paid to do, she tries to down play their bad work ethic and point the finger at other employees. For example, she will tell workers that she has to enforce certain things because a worker is complaining about stuff. How about just enforce things because it's in the job description. We are all being entrusted with the care of vulnerable adults who can not fully care for themselves. We must be their voices and protect them! We must all do our job. PERIOD! We can't pick and chose which duties we want to fulfill; we must do our job in its entirety. If you are a hard worker with a great work ethic, this is probably not the job for you, because you are going to be super frustrated by the way things are run here. On the other hand,  If you are a slacker who likes to get "easy money", and not be held accountable for anything, look no further. 

3 -12 hour shifts.  loved that.   The person who hired me, was very lovely, however, it was very clear she was overwhelmed.  Wouldn't get me the info  I needed when said she would.  I was not told upon being hired I would not only work at the pediatric home but also at any of their homes.  As well as Holidays.  That's a given holiday, however, I was told we would talk on a specific day, that day came around and she was too busy.  Then I could explain that this year is my year for the holidays, but next year is not.  Definitely, as an employee, I lost respect and trust. Be upfront about expectations.  Be people of your work to your employees.  On Tuesday I knew they were letting me go, but they wanted to tell me on my day off, as opposed to that day, even when I was not able to call them as I was busy.  I dealt with the brief couple of weeks with them because I adored the client.  The client I will most definitely miss.  I do believe they take good care of their clients.  At least from what I've seen.  The nurse that I worked with was absolutely a doll.  The night staff that came in after, we truly wonderful as well.  I believe this could be a great place to work for the long term if they learn to communicate and keep their word.  I do appreciate that I didn't have to drive the hour to be fired. 
Ultimately if you don't have work life balance, this is the place for you to work.   

STAY FAR AWAY! This company has no upsides except the patients. Managers are overworked and underpaid and their work shows it. Managers start working in the homes with NO TRAINING and ask long time employees for help! WHERE ARE YOUR BOSSES?? Nurses have extreme egos and bad attitudes if they show up. There is no luck with upper management either. No one knows what they’re doing. You can’t even reach HR when needed the most and good luck trying to hold your managers accountable. They say their pay rate is competitive…competitive where?? If you’re a CNA you will NOT get CNA rates. They want people with NO EXPERIENCE to justify the joke of a pay rate. Which leads to irresponsible coworkers which leads to irritated members which makes behaviors worse!! Seriously stay FAR AWAY and work for other much better and fair companies that at least pay you more. Grab the paid training and run as fast as possible.

You really don’t want to work here. Whether its in the admin office or in the homes everything is unorganized. At all levels of the company management is failing and is continuing to make decisions that are leading the company deeper into the grave. If you do end up working here keep a close eye on your paychecks, the current payroll company is a joke and management refuses to find one that actually runs smoothly. The management of employee overtime is nonexistent, they have no clue how to track or stop the abuse of overtime. Recruitment will also try and tell you that family members cannot work together which is a complete lie because there are two pairs of spouses in upper management that report to one and other. Do yourself a favor and just avoid working here at all costs, its not worth it there are other companies.

Hired as a LPN for a group home. Told if that particular group home wasn't a good fit I could switch homes. After one night there, with violent aggressive patients and CNAs that literally slept all night, I asked to be switched to a new home.

I trained 1 day at a new group home. They were supposed to have 2 CNAs but literally had none. So I was the CNA - 6 patients. So, I received no training, essentially.  I went for a second day of training and told the nurse called in and I was to be the nurse. I refused as I had no training 

CNAs are a joke. They openly tell you NO and sit and eat and watch TV while you change patients, do laundry and turn heavy patients. They refuse to help. They only have agency CNAs to satisfy state then the nurses do both the nurse job and two CNA jobs 
Watch your check. Multiple people said their checks are wroong

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with my Nurse Manager and coordinator. Some of the care takers were good as well. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management in the office in Scottsdale. They were not truthful, not supportive, and out to get people to get their family to take their places. Way to much backstabbing!  Nurse and house managers work non stop due to shortage! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cruel and manipulative in management.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being a floor nurse was ok but once I started working in management it became different. Non stop work. If some one calls out.. I have to take the floor. Plus grocery shopping for the houses, appointments, meetings, etc.

Training and upper management was excellent! I throughly enjoyed this company when I was employed with them I left for personal reasons. But I did notice a LOT of issues, but I also noticed a lot of people who cared deeply amd were passionate about their roles. But time and time again things just kept going wrong. I think hands were full and the "behaviors" were most of what prevented people from staying. And a lot of the people who did stay probably shouldnt have been there. Managers are overloaded with far too many task and they pretend like its manageable, when in reality its not. Staff and members end up suffering. I hope this place improves and gets so much better because I know people who work there love their job and care for the members.
