The company is a great company to work for. The nurses are very caring and definitely follow up on the patient's needs. It's funny how nurses who worked less than a week in a month's period due to personal issues beyond the companies control and are part of the lack of accountability issue have the audacity to make comments. Maybe if you were employed somewhere, you would not have the time and energy to sabotage yourself!
Prayerfully, consumers will check out information for themselves.

My husband a disabled Veteran with a mental condition has lost 2 caregivers due to checks that wouldn't clear told to me by them, they were excellent caregivers.
I'm not sure how they hire but the 3rd caregiver I left my husband with for 2 hours only to come home find him wondering outside, she clearly had fallen asleep. Called to let them know I no longer wanted her, No one from Altruist ever called to apologize.
I put one star because it requires it.

To this day checks still bounce so bad you can't cash her check anywhere in Dallas. Plus she owes people money and won't pay. I can't believe state hasn't walked in on this fraud. A nurse shows up for a start of care and no visits after that they pay people to write nurses notes for visits that didn't occur.

Run from this company. My last 4 checks have either bounced or have come late. I'm now on 5 days and still have not recieved my check from the 5th. The 2 checks before that bounced. The one before that they had to over night me. So many payday laws are being broken with this company. And all I recieve is I am sorry this is happening. The CEO is a multi-million dollar business owner! She's making her bank while I'm arguing to recieve my checks. DO NOT become employeed with this company.

Altruist looks great on paper but management is horrible and employees like trash. They don't care about their patients, only a check from the insurance companies. They are very unprofessional and the culture is brutal. They have a very "HIGH TURN OVER RATE" one that I have Never seen in the history of my employment. Please "RUN FOR THE HILLS" or you will regret it. I had No choice to walk away with my so this is Not a disgruntled employee. Don't believe all the positive reviews which were written by employees compelled to do so. RUN FOR THE HILLS or you will be saying I should have believed that review. Overall, the culture is very toxic, negative, and very, hostile.
This owner does not pay Nurses for hours worked. This company really should Not be in business. The state of Texas needs to be called on this company. They need to be shut down.
