Strange Tony,
The pipe dream that Humana would be a more human employer evaporated for Kindred Hospice employees. It vaporized when our 40% owners said they would buy the rest of Kindred at Home and spin off the hospice division under CEO David Causby.
The reality is TPG Capital and WCAS, our 60% financial rapscallion owners, trusted Humana to operate KAH over the last three years. While Humana matched employee retirement contributions up to 6% we received a paltry up to 1%. Humana took away 33% of our paid holidays and cut holiday pay 50%.
Greed is the reason Humana will sell the hospice division. It will buy the 60% it doesn't own for an 11x multiple of EBDITA. Once done Humana will have paid an average of 9.6x EDBITA for all of Kindred at Home. It can sell Kindred Hospice for up to a 26x multiple.
Humana can earn 167% on their investment for flipping the hospice division, enriching CEO David Causby beyond measure. Employees know the raw deal imposed by Humana, TPG and WCAS and the abusive treatment from KAH executives. Keeping us under David Causby is a very bad sign.

ReplyDeleteOver worked and under paid. A 8 man job but one person pay. The daily demands of the job is crazy. The daily production is to much. The training is a JOKE. They micro manage everything, its so stressful working here. The management puts so much into micro managing the employees. The trainer and supervisor sends emails and consider that as training. All the work is put on the AR reps. They could use the energy to better train the employees. Supervisors don't know their jobs. OMG, the work and the directive is all over the place. They ran off the decent mgr the did have. 95% of the employees don't like working here. Management is the worst, the definitely don't have your back. If you make production , you'll promoted to an lead reguardless if actually know your job or not. I would NOT recommend my dog to work here. Its just that bad. No one really knows their job. One of my worst experiences working here. A weight of stress taking off my shoulders. A very high turnover rate. Management is the worst.
Pros
Leaving at 3:30 everyday
Cons
Micro managing/ High turnover rate

ReplyDeleteVery poorly run company, from top to bottom. Poor standards of care. Cannot attract or keep good staff. Poor pay for work expected. Too many hours carried over into home life. Unrealistic and unethical productivity expectations, patients/care suffer. Corporate penny pinching. No raise in over 3 years and last raise miniscule despite excellent performance reviews. Unprofessional, unqualified management. Lying and manipulative management. No support or trust, professionally. Toxic work environment. Not localized issues, most offices. Many service failures. Families disgruntled with services and staff take the brunt of frustration and complaints because office nor management ever address issues. Embarrassed to say I've worked here. Would never recommend to anyone in need of Hospice services. Used to be one of the best, most compassionate, ethical companies. Getting worse every year.
Pros
Caring for Hospice families.
Cons

Home Health side gets similar treatment. Tennessee RN said:
ReplyDeleteNursing staff is always scrambling to complete their daily assignments, with most of us not getting home until at least 6pm. We constantly had patients added to our workload, when we were ALREADY overwhelmed. Always over productivity, always getting negative feedback in emails, and just overall demoralizing. Management quickly burns staff out by putting too much on your plate. Nursing also ends up taking call pretty frequently, so there really is no work/life balance. If you try to turn down extra assignments, be prepared to get a nasty call or email from the office, and STILL end up having to see the patient anyways. This branch does not have enough staff to oversee and cover 7 counties, and we were still admitting people left and right.
Pros

Curo corporate office employee said "Horrible management, no training"
ReplyDeleteThis is no place to work especially if you are looking to excel in your role with the company. Management doesn't know how to train due to the fact that they have never worked in a certain department. A lot of micromanagement which makes it feel as if you are a child, also cuts into maintaining a work life balance. You are given assignments that you have never been trained on just for management to turn around and tell you that this is a good "learning opportunity", with that being said they haven't even looked at the assignment themselves to help and assist you with any questions you have because they don't know how to do anything. This company also has horrible benefits tp be a healthcare company.

It feels like we are abandoned in the most stressful and trying situations, and survey results and census are priority. ALWAYS working short staffed, never feel as if our tasks are accomplished, never seem to be good enough, in spite of working 60 hour weeks. One of the worst employers I have ever worked for.

New York LPN said "Poor Poor Management":
ReplyDeleteI was an employee of Kindred for 9 years. 2 raises, ridiculously high insurance and poor leadership left me looking for a new job. The work/home balance is impossible and tons of working off the clock without pay. You can be an exemplary employee, devoted to your patients and it still is not enough. Management is aggressive and unsupportive. The Branch Manager in particular pushed employee moral to an all time low In my 9 years. The actual job I was doing was extremely rewarding. I loved working with my patients and my coworkers were excellent. But we all felt we were intimidated by management, overworked, and under appreciated.I gave appropriate notice upon a hostile management resignation and was given minimal work for my last 2 weeks of employment. When you are paid per patient and not hourly, and not given any work, financially that is a big hit. When questioned about why I was not being given work, I was reminded that I was leaving the company. Meanwhile other nurses who were staying, or being overloaded with the patients. This is the general atmosphere at our branch and ultimately the patients are short changed. It also leads to constant employee burn out. My PTO upon termination was short changed Even with a documented paystub indicating what I was owed versus what I was paid.

Poor patient care without consistency of staff. RNs are used for travel and paperwork and no longer truly case managing. Expected to drive a ridiculous amount with no reimbursement for your time. Poor assistance from management when needed - managers do not want to take your calls and seem quiet perturbed when they do answer. Pay has been cut and positions eliminated. Are supposed to limit visits due to PDGM ….. so, it’s about their profit and not about patient care any longer.
Advice to Management
Consider quality of care instead of making it all about the money. Support your staff and fairly reimburse them. Would you want to spend 3-5 hours driving daily for free?

Not just hospice, all aspects of KAH have deteriorated since Humana took over. My wife barely spends time with us because of the bs. They changed how pay was calculated (effectively forcing a pay cut) and increased requirements to maintain the already shity benefits.
