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.

so today I just learned that he was at Amedisys during its first stock run-up 2002-09, a period that seems to overlap with their Medicare billing shenanigans (alleged shenanigans) settled in 2014 for $150 million and 2017 shareholder settlement for $45 million, as its second run up unravels

ReplyDeletePros
Decent base salary and bonus structure.
Cons
This company has high turnover, they work their sales reps to death, and senior leadership only cares about revenue.
Social Worker in Virginia said of Kindred Hospice:
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best part of working at the company?
The patients & their families were appreciative & you could make a difference
What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of training, unrealistic geographic area to cover, utilizing personal vehicle, absence of on site managers/trainers
What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very seldom spend time in office however staff communicated via Teams, email & phone regularly. Small team functioned independently in need of managerial support
What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drove over 200 miles. Visited 4-6 patients, then spent evenings trying to finish electronic charting, including bi weekly summaries, scheduling visits, and assessments, often ten hour days/long weeks, stressful & minimal support from management
Gentiva Hospice reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor offered:
ReplyDeleteThe company is very cheap on supplies and it makes our patients very frustrated.
Morale isn't great, pretty high attrition, corporate is way out of touch with line staff
Senior leadership only cares about revenue.
There were no annual raises of any sort.
Six months into CDR ownership a Hospice Social Worker said:
ReplyDeleteLots of freedom but better be proactive in knowing how to get things done on your own bc there is lack of training. The company is in major transition phases at this time. So you are on your own alot. Management often does not prepare employees for tasks
Pros
Freedom
Cons
Surprises, lack of communication
