RiverKids Pediatric Home Health

I am an SLP and work for the DFW branch. Our outreach crew is amazing and always keeps my caseload full. Management is also amazing and is always there to help and support if needed. They are awesome enough that I followed them from the last place I worked to RiverKids so that I could keep them as my managers. I am in control of my own scheduling, how many patients I am willing to see, and how far I am willing to drive. Full time for an SLP is considered 25 visits per week which is a completely manageable number. We get a padded 5 visit holder on holidays that the office is closed. (We only have to do 20 visits on a week that the office is closed one day.) RiverKids has their own documentation system that is on an app on our phones. You can document on the computer after a visit is logged, but it's honestly so easy to do on the phone that I only ever do my evals on the computer. It's super easy to use, there aren't any weird learning curves like in other systems, and I am able to toggle if I am or am not accepting patients on my own within the app. In every aspect that counts, I am happy. Literally the only thing that I wish were different is the bonuses at the end of the year are given to only a few of those who have earned the most "points." (You get points for attending events, getting positive parent feedback, stuff like that). I would like to see everyone get a bonus based on the work they put in that year, not just a few of the top ones. We do get very small bonuses on holidays that the office is closed for as long as we have an average of 25 visit per week for a certain number of weeks before that holiday, but those bonuses are only $100 per day. Raises would be a nice option alternatively, but those don't really happen in home health around here. lol. Despite that, I AM paid fairly for my work, and I won't be leaving the company any time soon. The salary section here doesn't really reflect how we get paid and will be different for everyone based on how much they want to work. As an SLP here, I make $60 per visit and $75 per evaluation. As someone who supervises a clinical fellow, I make $60 per direct supervision unit and $30 per indirect supervision unit. Those units count towards my weekly visit count. 

I love RiverKids because I can set my own schedule and easily move things around to accommodate appointments & my own kids being sick, etc.  They typically offer CEUs a few times a year at a discounted price and the Houston therapy coordination team is awesome! Pediatric insurance authorizations take wayyy longer than they should so on-boarding new patients & building your schedule initially can be slow, but that's true everywhere. The worst thing about home health is cancellations, but honestly that's been way better since Covid & everyone is staying close to home. RiverKids uses an app on your phone for documentation & it is the EASIEST THING EVER! So nice to not have mountains of paperwork every night! Big change from outpatient haha.

RiverKids is by far the best company that I have ever worked for, period. Let me preface by saying, I have worked across many settings for various companies in the last decade of being an SLP.  I can say this without reservation, RiverKids is the only company that I truly respected and that respected me. Respect is very much so lacking in our field. And although I only worked there for 2 months to cover part of a maternity, I was treated well from day one. They immediately supported me with scheduling and materials and welcomed me into the RiverKids community with open arms. When/if I move back to Austin, I hope to return to RiverKids. 

RiverKids is like nowhere I've ever worked before. Everyone from the top guys down are really great people.  They have an app for notes and signatures, which is amazing, and there is an actual work/life balance that is appreciated and encouraged. I don't feel as though I am communicating with an email address when I contact the office in Houston because I get actual communication directly related to me and my discipline. And, everyone checks in with me and that is truly unheard of and it is so appreciated! I really enjoy working with this great team. 

I worked in the therapy industry for 6 years before coming to RiverKids. This is by far the BEST job I have ever had. The leadership is amazing and truly care for the children they serve and the therapists that work for them. Hours are completely flexible to your life and work desires. Compensation is fair for the market. There are no visit minimums for anyone wanting to take on PRN work. The office staff work diligently to make sure the only thing I need to worry about is providing quality care to the children on my caseload. It’s truly been one of the biggest blessings to my family and me. 

Therapists choose their patients, zip codes, and caseloads. Therapists can choose how many or how few patients they would like to treat. The departments (intake, billing, tech, etc.) respond quickly and are always willing to help. The local office (Austin) is supportive and encouraging. They respond in a timely manner. The app tracks units, insurance deadlines, waitlisted patients, etc. It is easy to use and also allows for quick documentation. If you’re looking for good pay and work/life balance, RiverKids is a good option for you! 

I have worked x 1 year and am new to pedi therapy after seeing adults in a home health neuro setting for 7 years.  The office staff is amazing.  For any new patients, if you ever feel it is not a good fit, they will try and find a different therapist, no judgement.  They have a ton of patients on the wait list, so there is a need for more therapists. 
The paperwork is custom to the company and allows for quick charting after visits.

I have 15 years of experience in working in this setting.  I have worked for multiple pediatric home health companies and none of them compare to the professional, collaborative company culture, supportive, fun, growing, team that RiverKids is!!!  They pay the best in Texas and value their therapists more than anywhere else.  Just like my RK tshirt says, "I love my job!!!!" 

The people that run it are solidly Christian and family oriented. They run their business very orderly. I guess we didn't vibe right, but my time there was brief. They don't know what they want. I uprooted a lot in my life to work there, and then poof, I was gone. Keep in mind they have such a small company they cut dead weight. I'm wishing them well. The people that stayed there seem to like it.

Strong therapist team, I felt confident collaborating with my colleagues while working there, and still often refer clients to Riverkids therapists now that I am working in a school based setting.
