Pros

I really appreciate the workplace culture, the supportive managers and staff, and the flexibility this job offers. It’s especially refreshing not to be micromanaged, which makes for a much more positive work environment.

Cons

It pains me to write this review about a company I once loved working for. After five+ years with Solace, I can no longer recommend them. Things were great for so long, but recent changes have been deeply disappointing. The final blow was the decision to eliminate the 401(k) match, which was a key reason I accepted a $10-$15 per session pay cut compared to other companies. Without this benefit, there's little incentive to stay when other home health companies offer better compensation. It’s heartbreaking to see what Solace has become—a far cry from the small, employee-focused company it once was, now feeling more like a hedge fund operation than a supportive workplace.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your dedication over the past five-plus years. We’re grateful for your contributions and value the opportunity to address your concerns while clarifying some misconceptions about recent changes. First, while we understand the concern around the transition of the 401(k) match, it’s important to note that this benefit was not eliminated. Instead, it was restructured into a bonus program, ensuring that employees participating in the match did not lose any value. Additionally, we recently enhanced our compensation package by reducing health benefit costs and adding paid holidays—an improvement that many employees had asked for. One of the unique benefits we continue to offer is our vehicle program, which remains unparalleled in the home health industry. From the moment of hire, employees are provided with a fully insured, maintained, and registered vehicle, including gas coverage, with the company shouldering 60% of this cost. This benefit, combined with a low weekly visit requirement of just 22 visits (equivalent to about 11 hours of treatment), reflects our commitment to supporting a sustainable and rewarding work-life balance. We recognize that changes can be challenging and may leave some feeling disheartened. However, the foundation of Care Options for Kids (formerly Solace) remains steadfast: to provide the best employment opportunities and support for our team so they can focus on delivering exceptional care to the children and families we serve. Despite these adjustments, we continue to prioritize our employees’ well-being and professional growth. We deeply appreciate your passion for what Solace has been and your concern for what it can be. If you’d like to discuss your specific circumstances further or share ideas on how we can continue improving, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can ensure Care Options for Kids remains a place where team members feel valued and supported. Thank you again for your feedback and the work you do to make a difference in the lives of so many families.

Pros

Great & Flexible Schedule! Consistency in hours and pay! Supportive leaders and staff. Good pay and work life balance.

Cons

The cons section is mandatory to fill out on here, but I really do enjoy my position with COFK, and there isn’t anything I’m unsatisfied with. If I do have concerns, I reach out to the leaders and it will be solved.

Pros

1. Office staff is accessible without long hold times with dreadful hold music. 2. Training is available whenever you need a refresher. 3. Quality is emphasized more than anything else. 4. Documentation is straightforward 5. At least at the office that I am contracted out of I feel heard regarding my issues. 6. They pay better than the hospitals. 7. If you are flexible they will be flexible too.

Cons

1. Paperwork for your shift is due that day and you cannot check in for another shift until that paperwork is complete. 2. Some items of the paperwork is repeated needlessly. (There is a reason for it but still annoying) 3. If you work nights, Saturday to Sunday; the pay week ends on Saturday at midnight so the Sunday hours won’t be counted in your pay. It will be added to the following week’s pay.
