Homemaker - Home Health

I am a CNA but have worked as a home health aide for many years and 4 of them have been with Homemakers. I enjoy a lot of what I do in helping getting people showered, running errands, helping people clean up apartments, etc. However, I must admit that I dont like running all over the county like I have done and kind of still do. I dont mind taking care of a guy for 10 hours a day in Beaver Falls on Saturday. However sinceI live in Brighton Twp., I would much rather work with guys that live in Brighton Twp., Industry, Beaver, Rochester, or Monaca instead of going to one end of the county to the other end of the county. I hope I dont get into any trouble for saying this, but I think Homemakers needs to send aides to clients that only live 10-20 minutes from the aides house and not send aides all over the county because gas prices are going up. Plus if an emergency happens, it will not take an aide as long to get to a clients house if the client only lives a few minutes from the aides house as opposed to 30 minutes. That is partly why I bet you that some home health aides have left the agency. P. S. When I worked with an agency called Home Helpers, I worked largely with one guy from 8-2 who had Multiple Sclerosis and was his consistent caregiver from 8-2 even though he lived in the North Hills. Sometimes they sent me to someone else in the evening. When I found out about Homemakers after he died, I thought that I work a schedule like that from Monday through Friday but only much closer to home. Well unfortunately I was wrong because they have and still throw me all over the county usually 1 or 2 hours with somebody. The only one I am with more than a few hours is a guy from Beaver Falls for 10 hours on Saturday.

This company should no longer exist nor should they get government grants to help the elderly..the office personnel is extremely rude.

Was told by nurses at the hospital to contact this company for services for my mother. Absolutely useless. Took my info and never called back. When I reached out to them, they said it would be a inconvenience that I only needed an aide 1 hr a day for 3 days.

Only worked for a week for this company, but I honestly haveto say, the staff REALLY care about the client's! They make sure someone is always thier to help
