How does Brookdale Senior Living stack up against the competition?

I have been in the business for 20 years. Brookdale can survive. Their intentions are there. However, I belive that corporate must walk the walk. Whenever corporate people (at all levels) come into our buildings, they seem like inspectors instead of leaders....ie. never a glance, never a hello, never curious about who we are, what drives us. I think they need to get a lesson on how to "win friends and influence people"!!

Last year the CEO visited our little Hamlet. I waved and said hello. He looked at me and walked away.

Their stock is dropping like a rock! It's down to $4.87. Whenever corporate comes to our building they spemd their time threatening us regarding upcoming layoffs. It is a horrible environment to work in. Our Executive Director is a snake and is constantly looking to belittle employees and managers, often in front of others.
