Pros

Timely and weekly pay in the form of direct deposit every Friday, but don't expect it to be much because the pay is low.

Cons

You will be a maid in scrubs. They pass this service off to Medicaid as if we are actually helping these patients with daily care but in my experience it was nothing more than a maid service cleaning filthy homes the patience well they weren't really patience the people totally took advantage of this because they knew they had a free made and you would walk into huge messes far beyond the normal Medicaid should be notified of this. extremely low pay at $9 an hour for extremely backbreaking work. many times I drove 20 and 30 miles to do Aarons from my client like pick her up breakfast or her prescriptions grocery shopping etc unreimbursed. And when you are only making $9 an hour it is simply unacceptable to be driving your personal vehicle all over the place for these clients. And oftentimes the client does not even live alone and have other family members who are mature and grown who could be doing these things for the client. I HIGHLY and strongly advise you to stay completely away from this type of home health industry most of the clients are scamming the government they aren't really L but they have lived off the government for so many years pretending to have something like fibromyalgia which can't be proven and then on top of that they get food stamps a free made free housing if you want to put yourself in that situation I would highly advise you to think first. the staff and homenurse will never check in with you to see how things are going at a clients particular home they simply do not care and you will never hear from them all they care about is that you are showing up so that they can build Medicaid the hours you are at your client's home making nothing while their billing Medicaid pretending that we are providing nursing services to these clients when it's nothing more than maid service.

Pros

I can be the sole caregiver for my sister. Get paid for a job I was already doing everyday. Do not have incompetent home health aides coming to my home anymore. Don't have to keep training new people to do the job because of turnover. Always have a caregiver that shows up because it is me. Office staff is helpful and never overbearing.

Cons

Don't have any complaints and I've been with them since the beginning of Structured Family Care in November 2019.

Pros

I love this type of work it's very rewarding. I love the flexibility of scheduling

Cons

The bad thing for caregivers is there is no job security. If you lose you client for some reason you lose your paycheck if their isn't a client available for you to pick up. No holiday pay, no paid time off
