Abbots Care Recenzje 31

Can see why there's bad reviews, was told training would be paid for but now told its not till after your first placement as a live in carer, you'd think after completing training they would give new members of staff jobs instead nothing then make up placements were refused when thats a lie as no contact about poss work! People have accepted jobs as experienced and looking to work....

Everything about this company is so bad it is difficult to know where to start. The carers (or the schedulers) do not keep to the care plan planned times, even when timing of medication is critical. The carers do not read the care plans and do not follow them even if they do. The back office is a complete joke, you get a choice of options to select but never get anyone who actually knows what they are doing. They are contractually obliged to NOT use more than 8 different carers in one week, yet repeatedly use more, often many more.

There are frequent language barrier issues and a large number of apathetic carers who do not even try to make sure the client gets the care they need.

My experience with Abbots Care is based on having been "allocated them" by Hertfordshire County Council Adult Care services. HCC-ACS use the cheapest they can get and unfortunately you get what you pay for. The cost (via HCC ACS) is quite a bit cheaper than going privately, and when the money just isn't there to give the choice to consider going privately, it is a matter of having to lump it. But, seriously, HCC ACS should be holding their service provider to account far more than they do. Then the end-client might actually start to receive some form of service and care that doesn't warrant a review like this.

Sensor failed yet again. Tried to ring and was given an option of several keys to press including 0 for customer services. Tried several times but line just goes silent. This company gets worse.

AL1436472 Purchased several items , 1 duplicated in error , contacted 1 minute after placing order to stop , after several emails they was sent duplicate item and are now refusing to exchange , I now have 2 chains with same name, customer service should check all orders and contact a customer when they see an error on an order, very poor customer care

The work load is heavy but if you organise yourself as best as possible and make your superior away of the challenges, it's possible to get though. The company aims to improve in every area and welcomes feedback. The pay isn't bad either.

I began to work for Abbots care in March 2020, from the process of being interviewed to attending online training was literally quick and easy. I was sent to the scheme in Cheshunt for my buddy shift and I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to do my shadowing which was more hands on, I have learnt so much in the last 9 months at Abbots and I continue to learn more day by day. This is my definition of the best job I ever had

Interview

I went for an interview I was asked all the documents everything scanned in and they made it seem like I had the job. I was told they will get back to me the next day it has been 3 weeks ( im happily employed elsewhere now). I felt like this was very unprofessional.
