Integrity Home Care

Caregiver with Hospice Home care Company

May 2016 • Columbia, MO

What I liked

Meet new people regularly and get to make a significant impact on their life. Also, with being a student, this job has short/manageable shifts that I can squeeze into my hectic schedule.

What I wish was different

I 'd like to see a little better organization within the company. There is often confusion and miscommunication between administration and clients along with administration and caregivers. I have shown up to houses upon many occasions and the client is either expecting someone different, didn't know I was coming, or notified the office they wouldn't be home but the office failed to notify me.

Advice

Make sure you are willing to work in sometimes uncleanly environments (ie. smokers' homes). This job definitely isn't a walk in the park and requires someone who can look past the negative aspects and see the major benefits you are providing to other individuals. It is great experience for any students perusing healthcare related careers.
