SO I am not directly involved in this issue however, it gives me an ick and I feel like someone needs to be made aware of what's going on.
I work for a small hospice company as an RN case manager. I have been in hospice for 2 years and I was working at a big corporation on the west coast in Southern California. I loved that job, however, my case load was really tough and the travel was hard on me and the on call requirements were too much. So I left for a smaller company that was two years old, and really had a positive and inspiring message. I really liked work here until things started getting weird. First, we have 5 nurses, 3 nurses quit- one we knew about, one unexpected and another unexpected. We had an NP get fired and a marketer get fired. So basically 75% of the company turned over.
Now here's where things get weird. The executive director also quit citing family issues. But then he came back, and then quit again. So our ED is also really good buddies with this guy who runs a homecare agency lets cal him Tim. Tim provides home care but also provides placement with facilities. Tim provided us with an inservice where he bought us all lunch. Okay.. that's cool. But Tim kept saying, a lot of our clients can't afford our services so we provide council on how to afford us. One of the things people can do is sell their home. Well our executive director is married to a realtor who does a lot of short sales. Specifically, she will target people who are looking to afford home care, and then sell their homes really quickly without listing them on the MLS, and for a much cheaper price than the fair market value. As you guessed, a lot of these clients are in black and brown communities.
This scheme feels predatory. Am I wrong to be icked.
