2026 is upon us. Moody's debt rating for Gentiva is under the corporate entity, Charlotte Buyer. After the sale of Gentiva's personal care division the company is primarily a hospice company.
Financial rapscallion Clayton, Dubilier & Rice bumped up their ownership percentage from 60 to 65%. Humana pulled back from 40 to 35%.
I joined you in retirement and what a relief it has been. I haven't been back to the office since then so my view of the company is reduced to major news and what little financial information I am able to track down.
It was a privilege working with a great hospice team for so many years, one that struggled to stay good as executives eviscerated everything around us, all for their eventual, obscenely-excessive payday.
Financial rapscallions are the anti-thesis of what hospice is all about. They prize greed vs. love/support, taking vs. giving, earthly vs. eternal and power vs. service. This too shall pass.

A Gentiva administrator shared this in the Glassdoor review of the company:
ReplyDeleteLess than supportive company with corporate management who are dismissive and disrespectful at best. Compromised culture due to lack of resources to meet needs of employees and service population.
I felt every bit of that and it worsened after financial rapscallions bought a majority stake of the company. Every time I told myself "it cannot get any worse", it did.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Area VP of Operations takes the blessings of this job away with his gaslighting.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Sales, sales, sales. Cut costs. More about the dollar than patients and families.
What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Towards the end, very stressful.
