Maintenance Assistant

It was okay

Caregiver (Former Employee) - Chino, CA - November 27, 2023

I worked in memory care, and was okay. The only bad thing was some coworkers were lazy with their residents. Had to go the extra mile to do more for those residents with the lazy coworkers. I know I didn’t have to, but I just couldn’t bare to see how people would do the bare minimum :( . They’re people too, and vulnerable, so please only work here if you have compassion and patience.

Terrible pay and unprofessional

Concierge (Former Employee) - McMinnville, OR - November 20, 2023

Don't waste your time working here. Corporate doesn't care about the employees and they pick unprofessional people to be their executive directors. Pay isn't great either.

Nothing stands out at this place other than how terrible management is.

PCA Personal Care Assistant (Current Employee) - Menifee, CA - November 14, 2023

The boss isn’t good at managing people. Has favoritism and is lazy. Does not care about the caregivers. It’s hard to work at a place when you know the boss isn’t bossing.

Pros

Director of Clinical Services (Former Employee) - Millcreek, UT - November 8, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?I did not enjoy this job at all. I felt that I had no support from administration or the company. Some employees were held to the rules in the handbook while others were allowed to get away with all kinds of nonsense. Job did NOT pay adequate wage for my experience. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?As above. Unfair practices, low wages, no support from admin. Ridiculous expectations. Too many times I had to cover shifts for CNA/med techs. There were many times I worked 16 hours a day because of call offs. Administrator had her favorites who got away with whatever they wanted. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?At the time, stressful, hostile What is a typical day like for you at the company?Constant demands and expectations that I would work round the clock. Being on salary that meant I was putting in at more hours than it was worth.

Not enough time, or people to do the work.

Housekeeper (Former Employee) - San Diego CA - September 19, 2023

The housekeepers and caregivers were always short on cleaning supplies. We were always short on people too, making a hard job harder. You were always dead tired at the end of the day.

Pros

You got two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch, which you needed to get thru the shift.

Cons

You had to work over time to get your work done, and sometimes double shifts.

Terrible work environment

Med tech (Former Employee) - Coeur D’alene - September 13, 2023

When I started working there I was told they don’t put up with drama and will fire people who cause it. Later on I was being talked about and people were saying I wasn’t doing my job but in reality I was the only one who did my job. The management didn’t care to investigate and yelled at me in front of residents, family, and other staff. It was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. After that day I chose to leave the company because staff were stalking me and messaging my friends and family and management was allowing staff to mistreat residents knowingly.

Med Tech/Caregiver (Current Employee) - Bakersfield, CA - September 11, 2023

Pleasure serving our seniors. Hard work you will ever love. Must be accountable and not blame management for your problems, at the end of the day you are caring for vulnerable seniors who rely on you being at work to be cared for.

Unprofessional, non compliant with DSS

RSD (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - September 4, 2023

The absolute worst job I have ever had! Leaving this place was the biggest relief. The amount of non compliance with title 22 is scary! Keep your loved ones away for their safety and do not risk yourself by being employed here!
