HERITAGE HEALTH Employer Reviews

A typical day at work consists of getting each resident I have for the day up and washed, dressed, and shaved if needed in time for breakfast. After breakfast, each resident needs to be taken to the restroom. Then, residents need to be taken to the restroom again in time for lunch. After feeding the residents who need assistance, I would take the residents – more... to the restroom again, and lay them down for a nap if requested. This job has taught me to be a much more responsible individual since my responsibilities include caring for others each work day. My co-workers are great people who are great with team work. The hardest part of my job is not being able to have as much time with each individual resident. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to know each individual resident. – less

work was typically easy. management sucked. co-workers full og gossip. hardest part is when you resident dies :( and the most enjoyable part is helping the elderly :)

at Heritage Health in dwight I felt very let down by things that happened I loved working there and was prn just waiting for full time which when it finally came a simple misunderstanding ended it I was fired. and no matter what I said or promised they wouldnt even give me the chance to try I was given no warnings or write ups of any kind I was just – more... let go and now I know that they are running short staffed with some people that I feel arent the best care givers for the residents just the fact that they will work tons of hours and shifts and put heritage first before their families is the only reason they are employed and I am not I would have stayed there long term and been happy with it but they squashed that – less

I worked at Heritage Health for 5 months and in that time they went through alot of employees and residents. I would not recommend this company for anything. They are very unprofessional people.

I worked for the Heritage in Gillespie, IL. The staff are very good people, I learned so much from them all. It is like one big family, everyone helps when you need them. I discovered the true meaning of love and respect for residents.I worked here from 09/2012-11/2012, and I loved this place. Sadly I had to move away so I don't work there anymore. – more... This is the BEST place to work for, trust me! – less

Start breakfast and set the tables, serve breakfast to the residents at 6 am, clean, prepare for lunch and serve at 11 am, do residents' laundry and clean their apartments throught the day (2 days a week),grocery shop for the facility, prepare for supper and serve at 4 pm, clean up and go home at 6pm. Management was very discriminative and two-faced – more... with no real care for the residents. Co-workers were also two-faced and disregarded the fact that I was a mother who was working every weekend because the 68yr. old female co-worker has dates on weekends. The hardest part of the job was dealing with all the rude comments from employees about me and the residents without walking out. The most enjoyable part was sitting and chatting to the residents and getting to know their likes and dislikes. – less

The CNAs are LAZY!!!!
They think they own the place, and their all for the most part stuck up!
There is a few that are super nice but for they year+ that i have worked at Heritage most of them are two-faced and its immature at that!
I love the residents with all my heart, sometimes i go in on my days off because i miss them! its so nice to have people – more... care for you as if you were their own grandchildren. – less

They are favorable to certain employees and if you're not one of them, you will definitely be made aware of it. The priveleged ones are allowed to make their own schedules and get away with multiple call ins and various other things without consequences.CNA's are overworked, underpaid, and management does little to nothing to show appreciation. Therapy – more... department is an absolute joke. The laziest department I have ever seen in a nursing home facility. – less

Learned new things from the residents everyday and always had fun with the employees.
