Belmont Village Employer Reviews

LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE, IT NEEDS MORE GUIDELINES AND MORE UNDERSTANDING OF WORKING WITH EMPOLYESS

I am a Personal Assistant Liasion or P.A.L. I was hired as a "floater" which means that I can be scheduled to work in any area that they need me. I not only work with Assisted Living residents, but also Alzheimer's residents which is sometimes difficult but I have experience working with Alzheiemr's residents as I was a Life Enrichment Manager at Sunrise – more... (Blankenber) for 30 residents. I worked with their life skills, did one-on-ones with each of them, tried to empower each one at their own level, and wrote families about their loved one's progress. My job as a P.A.L. entails interacting and conversing with the residents as I see them, checking on them hourly during the night, toileting, dressing the ones necessary, communicating with the nurse on duty about the shift, and completing paperwork at the end of my shift. While working with the Alzheimer's residents, there is daily laundry, ensuring the safety of each one should they be out and about during third shift, showers to those scheduled, hourly checks, changing briefs twice during the night, and completing a nightly report for the nurse on duty. I have learned that every resident is different and each should be given dignity and respect. Management in my mind is not communicating as effectively with employees as they should. Many times we find out when the situation arrives and the nurse will correct or change the way of doing a particular task. My co-workers are from many different countries such as the Phillipines, Africa, and they are sometimes difficult to communicate with them because they are not all fluent in the English language and I have had to explain many times what I'm trying to say to them. The hardest part of the job is, as I stated, communicating with co-workers who are not born in the United States and have a hard time understanding. It works both ways. We have a hard time understanding what they are saying. It can be frustrating, but we work through it. The most enjoyable part of the job is that I know I am helping people and that at the end of my day, I made a difference in someone's life for the better. It is a ministry or a calling. – less

Its ok the people were amazing but the co workers were very unproffessional and the managers attitudd eas as if fhey hated being there but the fun part was working with the patients

Good company to work for, great management. Training classes made available.

I have branched out to different jobs to find what I love to do. I have learned I love working with people, helping any way I can. A typical day at work is getting there a little early to set up for the day, start the day by my checklist, help whoever needs help and proceed with my job. I love my coworkers because they are nice people who think positive. – more... The hardest part of my job is learning streets and areas in other cities. Management is pretty good for most part, the only thing I would change is the way they discipline workers. If they see someone doing something they should let them know right then and there instead of telling other managers to deal with it later. Over all I am a very positive person who see the positive in everything everyday. – less

they dont give you great hours, management plays favorites, if it wasnt for the people or patients i had i wouldnt have worked here, management doesnt treat employees right

I was given 80 hours of training to understand the world of residents with different levels, types, and symptoms of dementia. As well, I was, in the 80 hrs. given training in first aid, patient transfer and many other skills relative to this position.

I am a part of a team of Activity Assistants that work in the Memory Enrichment Program. We provide – more... daily topical activities at three different ability levels for our residents. This keeps them from isolating in their apartment, possibly having accidents being alone in their apartment, and progressing more rapidly into dementia because of lack of mental engagement and stimulation. Our team, using a day's topic as the jumping off point engages residents with conversations, cooking, baking, all kinds of arts and crafts as well as mental games. We laugh a a lot together with our residents and make close personal connections with them.

The hardest part of my job is dealing with residents who are living at the facility, but do not have dementia. They verbalyl put down our dementia residents like bullies with little comments here and there. They are in their 80's and 90's themselves and their insensitivity never ceases to amaze me. The other hard part of my job is to go home for my weekend and come back only to learn that a resident I really liked and knew well, died while I was gone. I've had to lean on my team mates and director to learn how to cope.

The most enjoyable part of the job is filling my resident's day with purposeful activities that gives meaning to their life. My residents don't recall their yesterdays, they may not have tomorrow, so we can only give them today and we try to make it interesting, relative and fun, fun, fun. – less

Performed range of motion activities with residents,assisted with ambulation and oversaw activities of daily living.

its really fun to work here. you learn about the elderly people peoples lives when they were young and most of the was in war. so its fun to learn their lifestyle. co-workers are cool to work with. hardest job about the job was probably nothing really everyhthing was easy.

Steady pace environment! I enjoyed the interaction between the staff and the elderly residents!

management and staff really work together. typical day at work begins with medication pass and the rest of the day is filled with a lot of resident/nurse interaction. this facility has lots of activities going on and the activities are really enjoyable.

It's not a good place to work. The nurses show favoritism and co-workers refer to African Americans as 'coloreds'. If you are an African American and someone calls you a 'colored' and you don't like it, you will be fired and your co-workers will put some unknown substance in your protein shake to make you sick. Meanwhile, the one who calls you names – more... will continue to keep their job and recieve a promotion. – less

The days that I work are good ones. Taking care of my residents means a lot to me, it shows that residents need us. I got some good bosses, when and if you need thier help, thier there for you. My Co workers are great, they help out when you need them. The hardest part of my job is working midnight hours. I enjoy taking care of my residents, it give – more... me the joy knowing that they need me. – less

fun place to work, hours are great, good food, christmas monetary bonus

The company is great to work at if you do not have a family, the hourly pay is low, it is not enough to support a family. So,this employer is for someone fresh out of high school, or someone without any small children at home.
