Brookdale Senior Living Inc. Employer Reviews

Assit residents with ADL, med reminders, escorts, and companionship. Staff is great, residents were the best. the part i enjoyed the most of this job was to be able to know each one of the residents personally

I only gave one star because I had to give SOMETHING. The values the "live by" are only on paper nothing else. I have been in nursing over 10 years and this was the worst experience ever. I will say when I was able to do my job it was very rewarding. I truly believe there are good employees here but they are outnumbered and the bad have free range. – more...  Even when u try to enforce them no one supports you on a local level but you are held accountable by regionals. They fake the funk when regionals are in town. From one nurse to another beware nurses your license will be in jeopardy daily, you will not sleep you are on call 24/7, you do your work and the ed work, the mt, and the cna work because no one comes to work and they don't discipline them. You won't have a home life. Oh and best of all they don't want to pay the you will have to work dispite being hourly unless you pull teeth. I love a challeng and have had my fair share but it is like you against them all the time the ed will tell you this all the time. The pay honestly is not ridiculous but it is on the lower end of the scale of he assisted living pay. If the ed, rcc, and other poisonous staff were gone and you might get the tools, staff, and support all around to do your job and I could give it a better star rating. there are many there that do not care for the residents. However I will say there are some dedicated people holding on and it is so sad they ran off residents and some fantastic staff. So sad this could be the best but until they undergo major re staffing starting from the top down it will never make it. Leadership starts from the example the leader sets and assisted living ed is the biggest problem I found there. You can't be a leader and be unsure, demeaning, a gossip, unfair, a liar and be productive in lives. Misery loves company.... – less

I would not recommend working at Milw Corp Office

Worked their for 6 yrs. Mangement was terrible in the dept I worked . "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality. They make promises they won't keep, unless your part of their "buddy" system.

i was working 3pm-11pm
i learned how to work well with people besides the color of their skin their gender and management was good
good co-workers, the hardest part of the job was when we lose our clients either moving out or died it was hard its losing your family member
the enjoyable part of the job is when the clients were telling stories about how – more...  their was and some were telling they used when they were young or at my age – less

Working at Brookdale was very nice to me a typical day at work was taking care of my Residents and hearing how their night went.The management team was alright and what I mean by that everyone had to their job but their was some that took it over board;Example like they didn't know how to talk to staff but other than that they were alright.The hardest – more...  part about my job is when a resident passed that just broke my heart.The most enjoyable part of my job was when I know I did what I was suppose to do to make my resident feel loved and felt like if they were at home. – less

good customer service

very good team/hard work

the hardest part of my whould be not ale to do my job the righ way.

going to work every day

It was not the right place for me to work. I put values and respect on everything I do and this was just not the place for me. It was just time for me to move on.

I have learned about taking care of geriatric patients on all levels of care, from residents needing little to no help with daily cares to residents that need help with all of their daily cares. I enjoy conversing with the residents, it makes me say "I am glad to be here." when I can make a smile and a connection with a resident.

The work was quick yet attention to detail was the upmost of importance.

very small facility with few employees and the company was very tight on money all the time.

Great place to work overall. People who we take care of are incredible individuals..

Nice area for seniors to live and enjoy there self. I like'd how they all got along as one happy home..

The reason I stayed so long at brookdale was because of my residents, I loved every one of them dearly.

Management was very unconcerned with employees very rude and snotty but overall the business itself is great just need better management

Kind of an Old Boys Club atmosphere. Hard work often goes un noticed. Very Nepotistic enviroment-encouraged by ED-who is very hard to work with. A very huge turnover.

I wish I didn't have to leave but being stress from the people you work with and not the actual work is not healthy.

Brookdale is in it for the money, period. They don't care about you, what you did for them last month, it's what you're doing for them at that moment. Core Values aren't followed if not convenient, they will use you and throw you away like a piece of trash and go onto the next person. They expect loyalty but won't give it, don't support you when things – more...  are out of your control. Want answers but don't make changes that are needed so you can do your job. Hey upper management, just because you have people that have been with the company a long time, doesn't always make them right. Keeping them for that reason isn't neccessarily a good thing. – less
