Right at Home Reviews

I have been working at Right at Home part-time for less than a year

Pros – Great owners and very professional staff, really like how they are a newer company but have great caregivers with experiences in homes.
Competitive pay, with 401 plan and profit bonuses and excellent training program
Best home care company I have worked for in the area in the last 8 years and I have worked for many

Cons – No health benefits are currently offered. Sometimes hours and shifts are long, staff seems really busy when I call in to the office sometimes.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great work and training program-best I have seen. Try to offer benefits in the future if possible. i really like the 401 plan and profit share program which most companies don't offer to us

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Right at Home part-time for more than a year

Pros – Staff is caring about you as a caregiver and works well around your schedule. They also give PTO after you've been there a year, and also do quarterly reviews and raises. Office is open 7 days a week to accommodate us getting our paychecks and turning in timesheets.

Cons – I wish they could give us health insurance. The only other complaint is sometimes the distance I have to drive because of where clients live.

Advice to Senior Management – I like how you operate the office and employees.

I have been working at Right at Home full-time for less than a year

I worked at Right at Home part-time for less than a year

Pros – They pay better than most, $12.50 per hour for a two hour shift, $11 for a 3 hour shift, then down to $10.25 for a four hour shift (which puts them in the same range as everybody else in this geographic area).

Cons – I think the owner and his assistant (it's currently a 2 person operation) care a lot for the seniors, but are in way over their heads from the business standpoint. They just can't sign up enough clients, I could never get more than about 10 hours of work a week from them.

Advice to Senior Management – No one is interested in your personal relationship. I'd rather NOT know that the owner and the hiring manager/office administrator live together in a "domestic partnership," particularly on the hiring interview.

Everything else is stated above. This is not the first agency I've encountered that just doesn't get the ball rolling schedule wise, it seems to be a chronic problem in this industry. Lots of competition, if I drive right down the street around the corner from where I live, there are two offices of caregiving agencies within less than a mile.

I worked at Right at Home full-time for more than a year

Pros – Helping elderly and disabled people by placing caregivers with proper skill set in their homes.

Cons – While dedicating 25-30 hours per week of my personal, unpaid time for 1 and a half years, the first time I failed to call off when I had a very bad flu, the owner terminated me.

Advice to Senior Management – Get the business of this franchise more organized; have some kind of training for new hires working in the office; owner of the Santa Clara office needs to learn much more about technology and professional presentation of documents, as well as how he treats staff employees... makes disparaging comments about his staff right in front of them to other people, is not consistent with the way he treats employees as it pertains to disciplinary actions.

I worked at Right at Home full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Ok if you have no intention of a long term employ with company.

Cons – Extremely high stress. Unhealthy environment. Favoritism . Low pay. No recognition or financial bonus. Takes credit for skills of staff. Staff burn out fast. Those with a strong work ethic, not for you.
It's all about the MONEY and being number one - no matter what.

Advice to Senior Management – Check on the area competition's view of the reputation of this owner and staff. Poll the staff anonymously to learn the internal cracks in the foundation, audit.Much room for improvement. Pay the staff what they are worth.
