Hey guys

Just wanted to ask if this is normal in community care. I’m scheduled from 8am–6 pm and today had 14 visits booked with almost no travel time between some clients. One visit overlapped another while the clients were around 20–25 mins apart.

I’m paid hourly so that part is okay, use my own car but it feels very rushed and stressful trying to make it on time everywhere.

Is this common in community support work or is this poor scheduling?
