Extremely poor provider

Our son has been at the old library with Voyage and is the worst place ever. Tell you he will be treated like a king but the staff have been abusive to him and ignorant, that includes managers too. Don't expect them to report anything to the CQC either.
We have another service provider who are brilliant and Voyage are making it as difficult as possible, avoid at all cost.

VOYAGE UNCARE

I received an email regarding the way Voyage Care have been treating me after nearly two years of leaving. Voyage Care have told their residents and staff not to acknowledge me in any way. I still live in Hythe where I was living at the Willows and the affect this decision management has made has completely destroyed me.I am no threat to anyone. I have never hurt anyone and even the police want to help me.
Voyage Care have targeted me in a very inhumane manner and this scar both physically and mentally will stay with me for the rest of my life.
They should take away Care from their name and call themselves just Voyage.
I truly hope that no-one else has to go through the horrific year I have after leaving the Willows. I have no hard feelings towards any support worker as they were lovely to me but I sincerely hope that the management does not treat anyone as my experience with Voyage Care has been. I wish all the people who have been lovely to me well but I will never ever recover from this.
I would like to add that I have just passed a member of the management team who looked at me and completely ignored me. How does that make an autistic person feel???

I have been at voyage for 5 weeks as a new service manager and I can honestly say that I have had a very positive experience.

There is a lot of support from all areas of the business and I find the culture to be supportive and friendly.Everyone I have spoken to seems very happy in there job roles and many people have been there for 10 years or more.I find the company to be very professional and helpful with a no blame culture and lots of offers to help and support one another.

My operations manager has been very supportive and adapts well to my learning style she has a wealth of knowledge and wants team success.

Very good company

It's been a year now since I was asked…VOYAGE UNCARE LTD

It's been a year now since I was asked to leave the Willows supported living placement in Hythe. At times over the last year I have been made to feel like a prisoner in my own home. Every time, even to this day I have to be on guard as the staff were told to tell me that if they spoke to me they would lose their job.
Even after one year I have become more damaged, felt worthless and at times suicidal. This has been the worst year of not only my life but the life of my parents. This experience will never leave me because of the most inhumane I have been treated by Voyage Care.
Don't believe in what it says on their website. It's all lies.
My relationship with Voyage Care is not over. I will not allow them to treat me or any other human being in the way I have been treated.
They are supposed to be a care company. They are the complete opposite. I would give no stars if that was possible.
An awful, shameful company which should be shut down.
MY NAME IS PAULA BOTTONE AND NOT PATRICIA BOTTONE AND I HAVE ASKED FOR THIS TO BE AMMENDED. PLEASE DO IT!

Why can you not give a 0*

Why can you not give a 0*? They have a home next door to me. The noise since they took over from the council operators is terrible. Staff are ignorant, on their phones down the garden, and as for the management - well they just do not have a clue - to the point that they ask me for advice! AVOID!

I don't know about other voyage care…

I don't know about other voyage care homes,but you see the one at fetcham, Cobham road in leather head is a complete write off.
How do you employ a manager that doesn't understand what it means to lead.she never makes any meaningful decisions that will move the company forward.only takes hasty decisions on the spur of the moment without any thoughts.the place has witnessed a serious decline since she came two months ago.
The environment is toxic, and has become a scary place.
Such a shame.i don't recommend this home to any one looking for job,cos it's been hijacked by some toxic lady in collaboration with the childish manager onboard.

Voyage Care

Terrible company to work for! No support from management at all. They had their favourite staff members and were two faced about the rest. Shifts were changed at the last minute including having to do an over night shift after a 14 hour day. The over night room didn’t have a lockable door. I had to take a door wedge after one of the Service Users got into the room at night. Paperwork raised after behaviours/ incidents was routinely lost. After working yet another Bank Holiday, I was told that I didn’t work here anymore. Apparently one of the senior support workers didn’t like me .

Worst care company out there !

Company fails clients constantly! huge incident that was in the paper's over a year ago whole new management team came in made changes unfortunately some good management left and only the rubbish stayed and then blamed it on staff that had left ! When they were just as responsible ! Alot of changes some for the better some for worse mostly without telling pws or staff what was actually going on they then brought in a lot of overseas workers as they treated old staff so poorly so we left they promised to sponsor them then ignored them for months and now they've taken it back so basically they just used them as a short fix and now these poor people have to go and find other jobs please please please avoid this company I hope someone who can actually do something sees these reviews and shuts them down they treat pws and staff so badly

Management are bullies

Worked here for 1 year before leaving in February and let me tell you, the management are disgusting bullies who does not deserve their jobs. When you come in for your induction you’ll be pleased to see how well everyone works together. Deputy manager was always saying “ we’re one big family “ but that’s a major red flag. The longer you work there you’ll realise how horrible and nasty the management can get. And if you do one minor error, be prepared to get bullied until you leave. They despise staff that have a voice and can stand up for themselves. If you prioritise your mental health do not work for Dudley street voyage care.

Next time Staff at Broadview in Fareham…

Next time Staff at Broadview in Fareham suggest I need help or that I'm crazy they are making an unintended, huge compliment as those are the first words a Covert Narcassit uses on those who are not easy to manipulate with money or outer beauty.

So shocked to read so many…

So shocked to read so many disappointing if not disgraceful reviews! Is anyone reading listening or taking note ! Can't see anything to say there is ! This is so poor given the cost these residents pay to be cared for ! I'm sure most staff want the best for the resident they care for! But feels this is out of carer's control ! It needs a serious review from so called management at all homes ! Or is this a bigger issue that requires deeper control and investigation from so called safe guarding professionals! Needs acting on now !!gutted to think this awful behaviour appears the norm ! Utterly disgraceful!

Ashamed

Ashamed to say I worked for this company the pws were a joy to care for but the management is a disgrace they don’t listen to you paper work never updated
Fire safety regulations for the pws were inadequate and failse
Of management didn’t like you they would find away to get rid of you even if they had favourite staff they would listen to them and not the disliked ones
Company needs shutting down

Awful company that place paedophiles…

Awful company that place paedophiles opposite infant schools, surrounded by alleyways, bed bugs riddles throughout the SU’s and homes!!! Racism and discrimination with exploitation of staff who are vulnerable to the vile voyage system! Should be axed the whole company, horrendous values and profit from individuals, both service users and staff.

Poor company

The worst company ive ever had the misfortune of working for. If you read through the other reviews you will be able to gain an accurate scope of this companies practices and how they conduct "care". Safeguarding and patient care concerns dismissed, paperwork never updated and they leave their clients and staff alike in a state of mental confusion. I would not advise seeking this care company for loved ones or anyone seeking a role within the company stay well clear!

An absolutely shocking care provider

An absolutely shocking care provider. They do not care about the people they support or the staff supporting them. Voyage as a company are all about the profit for its shareholders and nothing else. Management don’t listen to safeguarding concerns and unsafe practice is allowed to take place even when concerns have been raised. Poor management of service users funds has lead to them losing thousands. Stay well clear as an employer or as a service provider
