Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program Reviews

An organization that shields itself from criticism by pointing to the mission. No ways to ask for accountability for those above you in the hierarchy. A strong culture of valuing people who have been around BHCHP for a long time, meaning new people are treated as outsiders for a long time.

It isn't the easiest of jobs as some patients transfer their frustrations on the staff, particularly the respite aides. We are the first faces they see in the morning and sometimes at night. We help with the most menial tasks such as feeding, bathing, and other activities of daily living. I am proud of my job, but sometimes racial slurs are hurled, which results in sanctioning of the patients. Actions are taken, but the emotional and physical toil the job takes on you should not be underestimated.
