I run my work day as it's self guided. Lack of support from co-workers, some managers make rude comments, hardly informed about things happening around the facility, and diverse culture. I've learned that certain employees will report you because they don't like you. Nepotism rules!Hardest: dealing with the disrespect from long term employees who know they will not be any repercussion.Enjoyable: seeing resident's family members and forming a personal relationship, all the dogs that visit, and visits from residents.

Pros

$3.00 meals, holiday bonuses, and the residents

Cons

discourteous managers, lack of communication

Fair i guess But could make everybody follow the rules so we all don't have to work so hard

Employee (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - October 17, 2021

If you want a job that you have to follow no rules then this is the place for you. They have rules But do not enforce them People do what they want and the ones that want to follow the rules have to Cover everybody else that doesn't follow the rules Very unfair to the ones that are there every day doing their job

Pros

$3 lunches

Cons

Doing double work for the ones that don't follow the rules

Teamwork

Nursing (Current Employee) - St. Louis, MO - September 15, 2021

I have been very happy here! Managers assist out on floor to encourage teamwork, and not just sit in their offices. The employee perks are really cool. They try to show the staff appreciation all the time with events, treats, gift cards, and meals. It can be difficult when coworkers call in and work loads are heavier, but that happens everywhere I have ever worked in my field. When I started I was scared about reviews, but a lot of my coworkers have been here a long time so it showed me to find out for myself. My favorite part of my work are the residents.

Pros

Residents

Cons

Meal choices

Micromanagement Deluxe

Activities Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - July 27, 2021

You know what they say about too many cooks in the kitchen. The communication through the chain of command is absolutely terrible. You could ask three managers the same, simple question, and somehow get four different answers. Staff are overworked and underappreciated. And it seems as though, with this company, money takes priority over resident happiness and care. Employees are not respected or trusted as professionals to do the jobs they were hired for, and are incredibly micromanaged. The residents are amazing and the only saving grace for this job.

Pros

free lunches during COVID, resident contact

Cons

management, communication, micromanaging

Great place to work.

Marketing (Current Employee) - St. Louis, MO - October 7, 2020

I truly feel blessed to be have given the opportunity to work here to further my career. My work environment is fun and challenging. Management expects their staff to perform at a high level and so they should. We are taking care of human beings!! My coworkers have been helpful, kind and encouraging. It is obvious we are all here for one goal: to better the lives of our resident's. There is a reason a good majority of the staff have worked here for many years. I love what I do and I love the team I have around me.

They try to make better....

CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - September 30, 2020

In my experience they were always trying to make it a better place with games and rewards but some people are never happy no matter what they did and drag the morale down. The problem was other staff are lazy and complain and then you pick up their work. If people would do thier job management wouldn't be all over them and it would improve. I loved the residents and monthly treats. Its a family place and they attempt to treat you like family. Just remember family argues and dont always agree, doesn't make them bad, just people.

Pros

Residents and treats *doesn't smell!!!!*

Cons

Coworkers are lazy and complain about everything

I wouldnt recommend this company to a homeless person

Cook/Prep (Former Employee) - Saint Louis, MO - May 26, 2020

Very sexist and racist, wouldnt work around my school schedule. Had too many managers with too many different opinions so I never knew right or wrong.

Sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to accommodate staff with their availability and try to work within those guidelines. In the Food Service Department we have an Executive Chef, Food & Nutrition Manager and a Food Service Manager. They work at trying to help each employee with concerns, and communicate to each member of management on solutions. I am sorry if that was a missed opportunity during your time here.

Waste of time

Server (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - January 3, 2020

Kitchen management argues with worker's disrespectful put all work on pregnant women no appreciation no team work favoritism lack of everything. People always has attitudes and there is always an argument because management sucks badly they need to be fired and I bet the kitchen would be better. Hire grown ups not kids with better pay a bunch of call offs because lack of committment fmanagement

Go somewhere else

CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - August 25, 2019

Lazy staff, micro managed, unorganized. Looks beautiful but your typical nursing home when the smoke mirrors clear. I could tell from day 1 it wasnt a place you wanted to be long term.

Pros

Health benefits

Cons

Micro managed

High turn over rate

CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - August 8, 2019

Nice clean place to work . Pay could be more. Work is fairly easy. Some nurses do help out. Plus they are nice. Residents are nice and lovable! But the cna supervisor is annoying and always got something to say, need some attention. She the reason people either quit or don’t last long.

Good

CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - November 5, 2018

Good place to work easy work load and the facility is not ghetto. The weekend nurses are great and not afraid to help out when working short. The facility is really strict when it comes to uniforms.

Pros

The supervisor is very flexible with schedules

Cons

Your check maybe short or not come on the scheduled day

Very clean.

Activities Assistant (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - October 28, 2018

Well mannered employees, very clean, lunch was $3. The parking lot was a little far away. Management barely pays you any attention because they just watch you on camera from their offices.
