Care Assistant - Personal Care Assistant Chestnut Knoll Employee Review

Great work environment, caring staff, employee benefits.

The employee must be reliable to work for this company.

Some of the office staff are nice, enjoyed working with the elderly, director genuinely cares

Expected to work odd, long hours. Schedulers don't care if you start your day at 6AM and your last shift ends at 9PM. If you get sick, you're responsible for finding coverage for your shifts which can be quite difficult. Sometimes you won't be able to get any coverage, the office schedulers are of absolutely no help, and you have no choice but to go to work sick. I once had a bad migraine which I brought to the attention of the schedulers and was forced to finish up my remaining 8 hours of work because they couldn't find anyone to cover for me and have no type of on-call system in place.
