Curo Healthcare Glassdoor Flips to Gentiva

 

Strange Tony,

The former Glassdoor site for Curo Healthcare is now Gentiva.  That means a CEO change from Curo's Larry Graham to Gentiva's David Causby.  It's not clear Graham made the cut when our 60% financial rapscallion owners flipped from TPG/WCAS to CDR.

So far employees aren't rushing to rate Causby.  He has two ratings and a 7% approval.  Gentiva staff have the option to do so under the former Kindred Hospice Glassdoor site where Causby has a 75% rating.  That site was also recently rebranded for Gentiva.

While one can call Causby's low rating spurious there are other concerns for potential hospice employees.  Less than half would recommend their workplace to a friend and more than 50% have less than a positive outlook for Gentiva Hospice, now under Clayton, Dubilier and Rice.

The two lowest parameters are work/life balance and senior management.  A Virginia social worker echoed these sentiments on the former Curo Healthcare Indeed site saying:

I would like for the company to show more appreciation for those of us who have been loyal employees.

Causby and company ran off nearly all the talented, loyal employees at our hospice.  We would have loved to give him feedback as that was happening but management provided us no opportunities.  He would have been lucky to have gotten a 7% positive rating.  

Causby cut everything in half, including our census.  He's proven he can prioritize his personal wealth over employee satisfaction and quality hospice care.  The good news is his material gains are temporary and the day will come that he atones for his actions on this earthly plane.

Tony Strange and Rod Windley Step Down


Strange Tony,

Aveanna Healthcare's CEO Tony Strange and Executive Chairman Rod Windley have been sent packing by financial rapscallion Bain Capital.  Bain and J.H. Whitney hold the vast majority (>70%) of Aveanna shares.  

Aveanna's stock price mostly sank in 2022 and is worth less than $1 per share.  It has traded like a company headed toward bankruptcy.  

COO Jeff Shaner will become CEO.  Shaner headed the hospice division under Gentiva while David Causby was over home health.  

Causby is currently CEO of Kindred Hospice, recently rebranded back to Gentiva, and under the ownership of financial rapscallion Clayton, Dubilier and Rice.

Bain and CDR expect huge profits, which bodes poorly for Aveanna and Gentiva staff.  Pay and benefits will remain as miserly as possible for regular staff.

The Tony Stranges and Rod Windleys get to exercise their grossly excessive separation packages that only exist at executive levels.  

They cannot take it with them and someday they will answer for their earthly deeds.
