Cook/various other jobs (Former Employee) – Bryan, OH – September 11, 2018
Learned various jobs that were all time-sensitive, and fast-paced. Communication needed work, especially between other departments within the company. Got along well with other workers, which made the day go better. There were a lot of call-in's, which meant they called the more reliable people all the time.
I found that I was not happy working at this facility. I determined I needed to find employment that fit my working desires and I went to Palm Garden and found what I was looking for.
Unit Manager (Former Employee) – Sandwich, MA – July 3, 2018
It has been years since I worked there and the company no longer exists. I no longer live in the state The building exists, but I have no knowledge of the company that owns it.
DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL SERVICES (Former Employee) – Owensboro, KY – March 10, 2018
I enjoyed working with the residents', families and many co-workers. The job was intense and stressful due to the fact that never felt like enough hours in the day to get your job done.
This community had so many health violations medical and kitchen. Their director was locked out of her office with her personal belongings outside her door. Not a very well run Retirement Facility.
Corporate Director of Operations (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – December 17, 2017
As the Corporate Director of Operations and Outcomes I was responsible for 38 of the 76 facilities. I would review the portfolio with my divisional nurses and develop plans to improve the outcomes of each center. In this position I learned how to multitask and prioritize the needs from the most severe to the need of assistance. The culture was one where you could make recommendations based on observations and outcomes to the Senior VP of Clinical without any reprisal. The hardest part of the job was turnover in communities that were already struggling. I would with assistance from Corporate create job fairs. The most enjoyable part of my job was when the hard work of the staff paid off.
Licensed Practical Nurse (Former Employee) – Broadview Heights, OH – November 21, 2017
I felt that the management at this facility pigeon holed you in to a box and left you there. Means of communication was almost non existent. I worked many units. Sometimes 3 in a 12 hour shift. 4 hours on one hall only to move to another and then another did allow for proper care in my opinion.
Pros
A few caring team members with longevity
Cons
Poorly managed in some areas and micromanaged in others.
Charge Nurse (Former Employee) – Broadview Heights, OH – November 13, 2017

Assistant DON and Acting DON (Former Employee) – Bryan, OH – June 29, 2017
Long term care is a difficult field. The patient load is always heavy. Staffing was a huge problem to handle as was employee maintenance and turn over. There was always a constant hiring and termination in this position.
Social Service Director (Former Employee) – Dayton, OH – May 19, 2017
The staff at Harborside was very caring for the residents and it showed in their daily interaction with the resident, staff and outside agencies. Administration was very hands on with staff and this made for a positive work environment.
Learned a lot of new things that weren't covered in school. Great residents and patients. Small facility ( think the name has changed tho) but very pleasant.

Trainer/Consultant (Former Employee) – Oakland, CA – February 20, 2017
I learned so much from my coworkers while I was there. They are one of the biggest things I miss. The work environment is fun and the people are awesome. It's unfortunate that I was presented with a different opportunity and Harborside found it as a conflict of interest. Had that not been the case, I would still work there.
