Therapist BEWARE - Occupational Therapist Encompass Health Employee Review

Cons: poor benefits, long hours, poor local management communication I worked hard and put in many long days thinking that I was valuable to this faith based company. I worked for them so many years, long hours, helped by going everywhere out of my territory and to many different branches when they asked for help, at times traveling close to 90 miles one way. My patients calling the office by telephone giving me great reviews and great comments with my name on the Patient Survey Star Ratings. Communication from my local management was poor. During the COVID-19 Pandemic Encompass Home Health cut all therapist to 32 hrs and increased productivity point requirements. In June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic Encompass Home Health eliminated many OT positions to make way for COTAs. A month later on July 30th, the Encompass Health Career website had pages of Full time COTA job openings for home health. I have waited to write this review so I could be as subjective as possible about the truth because I was so hurt. It was a hard realization and a rude awakening of the changes to the company that I used to love and that had so easily disposed of me.
