Family Residences & Essential Enterprises

Horrible management practices and some of the staff abuses the individuals regularly. And management covers it up blames it on the individual saying it’s self inflicted. If you’re a whistleblower you’re ostracized by management and employees and the individuals are informed about the whistleblower and they act out towards them as well making it a hostile work environment. I know someone who work there and are currently going through this now.

Caring providers, interesting curriculum and activities - my special needs son loves it here and actively waits for the next visit schedule. He has been to more amusement centers and theme parks through the programs at FREE than with us!

This is the worst company to work for . They treat all employees unfairly , they have shown to have favoritism to some and screw the rest , the individuals are taken care of poorly they are always short staffed, Human Resources ignores your concerns when you come to them. Worst company !

I’ve reported abuse 3 xs one case they suspended supervisor then placed her in another group home? She hit my daughter in front of me? Other not giving my daughter her medications as dr prescribed made my daughter psychotic. Unfounded by justice center?? Why unfounded? Other going on now, my daughters on wrong psych meds, again. Manic / depressed but staff won’t bring her to Hosp & keep just ignoring or writing her up,Dr.isn’t listening about changing her meds to get her level & herself again. She’s asking to go to Hosp. No one will take her saying” you don’t need one?” I need help on what to do. Has there ever been investigation in these homes,w staff w this agency?? Needs to be! How much training do staff get if any???

If I could give 0 stars, I would. What you have here is an organization that lines it's pockets with donations and grants. Affording beautiful offices but providing their clients with the lowest possible level of care. If you want to safeguard your loved ones with special needs - avoid like the plague. I have seen horrors. This organization is so concerned with making money for itself that they will not graduate clients to higher levels of housing because they would lose income. If you want to work somewhere that values your time and hard work - This isn't the place. They will look for any excuse to not pay you. Due to an extremely high turnover rate you will also be expected to often work back to back shifts with no notice and sometimes no extra compensation. Who do they hire? Impressionable youth out of college who want to help in earnest. They do this so that they can bully them around and move on to the next person if need be. If you think about it, the cornerstone of this business is people. What that means is you aren't a person if you work or live here. You are a commodity to be used and exploited. There was recently a class action lawsuit against this company by middle management. It's not difficult to understand why. Upper management largely act like children who are more interested in gossiping than doing their jobs. I hope by reading this I've helped save your time and energy.
