Select Rehabilitation

It’s difficult to review the company, itself, as my work experience has been affected by various factors, including fellow therapy colleagues, multiple levels of management, and the facility and their personnel (not employed by Select).

 The compensation we were afforded by Select was well below that of other companies, with no room for rate negotiation, despite good job performance and many years worth of experience in the field. 

My experiences at the facility with my therapy team, patients and families, and facility staff/personnel were amazing! My experiences with my direct supervisors/managers were phenomenal! Unfortunately, within Select, my direct supervisors/managers had no power or real say in much. They verbally praised the performance of my team and myself. But, that’s really all they had the “power” to do. 

With Select, there was no positive company “culture” or program in place to recognize employees that truly worked hard. Zero incentives, really. Yet, productivity expectations increased, micromanagement of every second at work greatened, and job security and work enjoyment decreased. Basically, the Select philosophy was “You must do more, but we will not pay you more or incentivize anything to encourage or support you.” Middle and upper management (from divisional level on up) had a way of making you feel insignificant and basically as a number, not a person. There was no true leadership by them. 

In terms of benefits, Select’s benefits were not great, but they weren’t awful. They definitely could’ve been better, though! CEU’s (outside of their own online courses) and professional specialty certifications were not reimbursed. Holidays were not paid days off, unless PTO was pre-approved and coverage for treatments were guaranteed. Staffing coverage was nightmarish, as therapist turnover was high with this company.

In summary, I’m not entirely sure I would work for the company again unless things changed. If compensation increased, benefits improved, positive company “culture” existed, micromanagement and unrealistic productivity expectations decreased, and the attitudes of middle and upper level management improved, then I certainly would work for the company again! 

The job is a good entry level job for a month but that’s basically it. The energy within the office is all so negative 80-90% of the time because everyone dreads being there since everyone is so worn down. There is no growth within the company, unless a manager quits and you all fight for the job. The stress level is outrageous because they don’t have enough people in each department which then overworks you within the time you’re there. You’re micromanaged with everything you do, even within your breaks and lunch. There were times training never happened, and was set up to fail, and the managers weren’t there to assist. The managers clearly do play favorites and if you aren’t one of them then you do feel awkward within the office.  In numerous occasions different managers within different departments went over the top when it came to someone making a mistake, or them misunderstanding what one of their employees have said, by either overreacting, talking behind ones back, or being fake to the employee. I am someone who goes to work and works hard but it seemed like they weren’t appreciated with what I did and accomplished there within my managers and co-workers. But was taken advantage of because I did work hard. I do have to say I did learn things about HR within my time here but the work environment was so negative. 

This review is based on having just moved out of Florida and SNF environ.  High therapist turnover rates.  Negotiate your salary at the interview.  Select does not give raises, ever.  To get a raise, 1) be promoted to mgmt, 2) transition to PRN and 3)quit and move onto another company.  Sole focus in SNF's are capturing concurrent/group minutes.  New grads, if you are employed by this company, stay no longer than 12 mos.  The environment is not conducive to training or learning your craft.  Besides, most bldgs do not have any modalities.  Managers   and tx'ing therapists, expect to document and off the clock.  Typically not enough computers and many are very old.  When you quit, Select expects tx'ing therapists to give 4 wk notice.   Find out the average PRN rate of your area, Select will negotiate the PRN rate down below average in the area.  The only two pro's are 1)free monthly 1 CEU credit course online.  2)Yearly PTO payout in April at 80%, if you have >40 hrs in PTO bank.  40 hrs can be rolled over.  3)Productivity  for evaluating therapists 88%, assts 92%.  Most importantly, get Human resources ph#.  You WILL be calling them regarding something suspect you've been told or have to sign by mgmt.  DOR's have to care 40% caseload.  Many DOR's have to schedule of the clock.  

Worked here for only a few months and already job hunting again 
1. They offer you a “competitive” pay but the hours are not consistent which defeats the purpose being considered full time due to them over hiring. They will literally reach out asking if anyone would like to take the day off due to not having enough hours and if so you’re expected to use PTO.
2. The benefits are practically nonexistent in which I’m still paying a fortune for my health insurance through them and they don’t match your 401k if you enroll in that. PTO is accrued and with the inconsistency of hours forget about achieving the maximum amount (I’m supposed to get up to 18 but at this rate I will be lucky if I were to get 15).
3. They also expect you to work all major holidays with no holiday pay. You don’t have the option to just call out/make up a day and use PTO except for one holiday in which they have to approve of.
4. Regional management micromanages and creates an extremely toxic working environment.
5. Productivity is super high and unethical and they try to push concurrent on inappropriate patients.

I would only recommend this company for a new grad who is trying to get experience because they basically only pay new grad rates and don’t give raises. It’s only about making money for them not about providing quality care to patients. I’m sick of stressing out constantly if I’m going to be able to pay my bills each month.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The site I worked at which was a third party site.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management was constantly pushing to make every ILF, ALF, and MC patient 5x a week, even when they didn’t need it, so that they could make more money.  It was never about the therapist’s recommendation, it was always about billing as many units as you could.  It was unethical and in order to do the right thing, we had to constantly fight back and defend our frequency recommendations.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I never felt valued or respected.  Only clinicians willing to commit Medicare Fraud were valued. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily work was fine.  When I did evals or recertifications it was always stressful because I knew I would have to fight with management to defend my frequency recommendations.  Also the productivity expectations were unrealistic and not possible to maintain in large facilities with pts spread across multiple buildings who lived independent lives.  They have productivity standards of that in a SNF where pts are all lying around waiting for treatments.

The Worst Rehab Company I have Ever Worked For!!!!
Select Rehabilitation has to be the worst rehab company I have ever worked for in my 25+ year career in the healthcare industry. The higher management does not know anything about managing people at all. They select their top managers based on the lowest pay rate, not the qualifications. The regional managers hire staff therapists for the facility's rehab managers without even giving them a chance to interview their staff. Sometimes the staff therapists are getting hired based on the recruiter phone interview only which brings inexperienced low-quality members who do not fit well with the current team, Not only do they not meet the bare minimum work ethics but they also create negative vibes and a toxic work environment stressing out the rest of the team because of their bad decisions. 
Moreover, Select Rehabilitation is a very tricky company when it comes to employee benefits; they literally deceive the employees into forfeiting their full-time benefits whenever they leave the company either on good terms or bad terms and trick them by being non-transparent about not compensating their benefits at the time of good-term separation.
THIS COMPANY DOES NOT MEET ANY EXPECTATIONS!!!

This company is what is wrong with healthcare in America. Every day I strive to provide the very best care. I respect my patients and put in the effort to gain their trust. My patients are happy and they return because of great therapy. Upper management harasses you daily, you really can’t win if you’re an ethical therapist. Our regional manager works from home and emails empty threats daily. We are expected to work off the clock if we want to take the “optional training” even though it necessary to effectively do our jobs. I wish that management could understand our challenges. Often I am the only help that my patient gets after hours on a call light due to short staffing and I made a commitment to always provide the best care and will continue to make that my priority. I love my building but since Select Rehab has taken over, working there has become miserable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great coworkers very helpful program managers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
staffing. The company will not let you hire any extra per diem people to help when regular staff goes on vacation or calls in sick. I never understood it because it doesn’t cost you anything to have per diem people who can pick up a few hours in an emergency. You have absolutely no one to back up therefore patients don’t get seen if there is a staffing issue.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
no worse than anywhere else. it really depends on what building you’re in and who the executive director is and how they run things. I have had executive directors that ran hostile work environment, and executive directors that were absolutely wonderful and made the building quite wonderful. But with Select Rehab, you don’t work for the building. You are a contractor. So even if you have a terrible building, you can just shut your door and nobody bothers you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
treating patients and scheduling staff, trying to get patients into the system, which takes a lot of time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The DOR was supportive to her team!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The CNA staff were unresponsive, careless, rude, went through the motions, indifferent, ignorant, mean to residents, neglectful of residents, spent a lot of time on their phones, gathered in groups hiding from work, hid linens so there weren’t any available on the floor, had no humanity!! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In the Sunrise Florida facility it was a culture of deceit, frustration and incompetence. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Much of my time as a COTA was spent looking for tools (linens, personal hygiene products, gloves, etc) to provide treatment for the residents. In addition there was not a team mentality. The nurses were slow to respond to concerns about their patients (pain, abnormal vitals, wounds, bleeding) which hindered treatment and recovery. CNA’s were about as useless as I have seen in my 25+ years career. When treating patients I was often changing overly saturated briefs and washing very unclean  hands and fingernails.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Opportunity to provide quality therapeutic services on the individual level 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being provided with the resources to meet unrealistic expectations and instructed to provide anything but patient driven care with high demands for group and or concurrent therapy sessions, regardless if pts are appropriate, limiting treatment time based on payor not what's best for the patient, all while maintaining insane productivity percentages and conducting point of service documentation with each patient regardless of having patient's who require 100% attention/assistance.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Company pushing for less and less accommodations for staff with smaller shared working areas/tables, higher stressful expectations/demands, and no appreciation and or incentives for going above and beyond but yet only then asked to do more. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Position/billet dictates but overall stressful and mentally draining.
