Deceased Hospice Staff Invisible to Management


Strange Tony,

Heartless management neglected the memorial service for our longtime social worker.  How would you like to work over twenty years for a company, make it the center of your life, stay positive in buyout after buyout and not have one manager show up and say a few words about your contributions?  That's exactly what this sorry company did.  Fortunately, many former co-workers attended and spoke words of appreciation.  

Humana and two financial rapscallions are behind Kindred Hospice's disconnected management.  We had over 100 patients in June 2018.  They cut and cut and cut staff.  As the number of employees decreased so did patient census.  It's now in the fifties. 

I don't believe our deceased social worker was aware that Humana intends to sell our hospice yet again.  Her condition deteriorated the evening of the announcement and she died the following day.  She's now in heaven where king's ransoms, like the ones sought by our executives, are not allowed.

  1. Texas RN case manager has a similarly disappointing boss. Don't know if this person works at our hospice. Poor leadership at local level.

    "Could be a good place to work with the right local leadership. The local leadership is just lacking which makes for a bad day at work more days than not."

  2. Ever since Curo came in it’s been death by a thousand cuts. This company now only cares about numbers and metrics. Staff work on poor quality tablets, cover huge on call areas, and chart on Homecare Homebase, the worst platform ever created. We are constantly berated for ordering needed supplies for patients because it comes out of corporate’s pocket. Staff are dropping like flies. The office staff is bare bones. Nurses and CNAs don’t care about metrics, we just want to be able to do our jobs and take care of patients.

    1. We can relate to your horrific experience. Our hospice was the first to go live on Homecare Homebase. It stole pay and mileage from nurses and CNAs. I remember when supplies and pharmaceuticals were not artificially constrained by executives.

      Turnover went through the roof because of Curo's bad technology and oppressive management practices. A thousand more cuts await as Humana and KAH executives look for a giant payday from selling us off, yet again. It will be the seventh time we've been sold/given a name change. Lord, we ask for justice against our oppressors.

  3. Kansas Kindred Hospice RN said "No work-life balance"

    No work life balance. The company doesn’t want to hear any suggestions for improvement and expect you to move all visits into other days if requesting a day off. Horrible on boarding process. Every level of employee is overworked and not valued. They do not like you to question anything.
