Home Nursing

Hello; We have been using Baywood Home Care for our mother since Novemeber of 2012. First off, we believe Mom wouldn't even be here if it weren't for the care she has received in her own home with Baywood's caregivers. We interviewed 3 companies and chose Baywood as the best fit for Mom. Caregivers were in place in her home within 24 hours of moving forward. Their skilled people are great at their jobs and you can tell that they really like and value their jobs. None of us 4 children live in the same town as Mom and it is such a comfort to know that she is well taken care of. We brought Mom home from a nursing home to be at her own home and she is so much happier. She had bed sores, digestion problems, had four falls in nursing home care and we expected her time was going to be limited. That has taken a complete turnaround. Mom will never be able to be completely on her own, but all those concerns from before have completely disappeared. She eats good meals now, no sores for a long time, she and her caregiver go out for tacos, hair appointments and other outings. It's true peace of mind for our family. Even after a hip fracture a little over a year ago, she came back home after surgery in the hospital and her doctor had suggested hospice care as he thought she'd do well to go another 3 months. Well, that was almost a year ago!!! He now says she defied the odds. I think we all know why! Without Baywood, we really believe she would not still be here. If you are considering care for a loved one in your family, give Baywood a call, and have them taken care of in their own home. I would be happy to visit with anyone who would like to.

Had an awesome afternoon with Painting Crew.

I was promised the world but they could not deliver. First of all the pay is a dollar or two less than average for homecare it just is. I work for a large local non profit health care provider as an RN. I was looking for one or two days a week in extended home care. Accurate was advertising all sorts of opportunities close to my home. I applied, I was hired right away. Before orientation I had to do a ton of "online training" it was certification compliance sort of stuff. I thought the program could have allowed me to blow through it faster. The CEO of the company makes a point of coming into orientation, he tells you the rebuilding story. He seems like a decent person to me, I have no reason to think otherwise. So it comes times to choose shifts, clients. The closest match to my home is a 40 minute drive. Its only one of the two days I'm looking for, to fill the other day I'll driving 60 minutes. I ask about the opportunities I saw advertised online. They either don't accept males, one is a male client who doesn't accept males, or they are every weekend NOC shifts etc... Some are e/o weekend NOC. The lady sitting next to me in the BLS class I took later drives two hours to spend the weekend with her client before driving two hours home. She was at the class in the morning after working all night long. So they didn't have any shifts for me. They said things are fluid and change quickly. I am currently employed as an RN. I am current with my BLS. My employer has their own AHA certified training center, they do not give us cards for free, we have to pay extra. When I began employment at accurate I did not have a physical card. I was scheduled for a class during my lunch break at my current employment location for 12/13 with my current employer. Accurate would not accept the instructor signed AHA BLS certificate of completion and wanted me to take their BLS course at their office which is a 50 minute drive from my home. They told I would definitely get a card, they can't believe I don't have one. I withdrew from my easy 12/13/18 course with my current employer, I took the Accurate course on 11/28/18. I asked about a card. I did not get one, I was told it would be emailed to me. It never came. I did contact training never heard back. My BLS does expire halfway through 1/2019 so I better get this figured out. The nice 12/13 class at my current employer of course was full by now. I had to schedule myself to the same class but at a different location and on my day off. So now I am driving to Minneapolis on my day off to take this BLS course through my current employer. I feel like Accurate tried to strand me with a BLS that wouldn't be accepted at my current employment. Accurate still doesn't have any shifts that I am interested in working. When I first called and informed the scheduler I thought I was done 3 people called me back on a speaker phone asking what they could do to keep me. They didn't have any shifts. No shifts. The BLS BS. Accurate has COST me money. 30 days after my hire I have cut my losses and just turned in my resignation today. The people there were nice enough. They advertised all these opportunities. They didn't have any. They didn't accept my signed cert of BLS completion, they also didn't provide me with one or a card as they promised. Now I have to go to Minneapolis to take another instead of on my lunch hour as I was previously scheduled to do. The employees I met at the BLS class looked tired, depressed and were dissatisfied with their employment. Proceed at own risk. At best Accurate is a time and money thief.
