The author of that article is probably the nursing director himself, or some disingenuine office staff trying to suck up to keep his or her job either one they are speaking from their rears. they even contradict them self within the articlewhen they say all of his hires are put through intensive interviewing and background requirements, and then they refer to 2nd and 3rd rate employees. Well, how did those horrible employees that they are speaking so badly of get past the tough hiring process? The truth is, they hire just about anybody, and the ones that get hired that are actually good, end up leaving as soon as they discover the nightmare that is Celestial Care. The real truth about Celestial Care is the one that is told by their employees and clientsand they both agree that the nursing director is nothing but a circus clownthe only reason he has his job at all is because he is the owners husband. Here are some of the true qualities of Celestial Care
One of the nurses contacted the so called nursing director and complained about some sexual remarks made by the client. He told her to suck it up and laugh it off if she wants to keep her job.
At one time, the nursing director called one of the RNs at a clients home. He told her, there is a new aide coming to work with her, so she needs to hide the clients morphine and watch her closely because she is on probation for narcotic abuse.
They have been under investigation more than one time for missing morphine from the clients home.
On one occasion, they were so desperate to gain the business of a high profile patient who was interested only in Mayo Clinic nursesthe owner herself lied to him and told him they are affiliated with Mayo when the fact is; Mayo has nothing to do with them.
This one is really hard to believe, but it is trueone of the nurses found the nursing director hiding like a rat in the bathroom of the back of one of the clients houses. She found him passed out on the floor in the middle of the night. He took advantage of the clients dementia and not aware of whats going on, and he was there to spy on his own nurses by hiding and then fell asleep, a completely unprofessional lunatic!
They treat their employees with intimidation and manipulation. One of the nurses was complaining that when the owner came to do her monthly visit to the clients homethe owner told the client that the nurse on duty was their slavecompletely disrespectful to their own employees.
One of their clients caught a male nurse looking at porn using her computer.
They mention their rating and record with the BBBthe fact is, Celestial Care has been kicked out by a lot of clients and they ended their service with them. The fact is most of the clients are elderly and dont have the ability or energy to research or file a complaint with the BBB. They are just focusing on their health and well being.
These are some, but not all of qualities of Celestial Care. The bottom line is, they are rotten to the core. They are corrupt and they are after one thing, and they will stop at nothing to get itand that is the clients money. The real truth is, nobody should to business with them. People should be aware of their unethical practices
