Pros

Residents and other staff including caretakers and nurse

Cons

Interim Management the whole time. New people came in and maximized profits. Didn't understand they were playing with residents' lives.

Pros

• My immediate team is exceptionally strong, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. They are kind, professional, and easy to work with, and they consistently show up with integrity and a shared commitment to doing quality work. • There are talented, hardworking individuals across the organization who care deeply about residents, teams, and outcomes. When empowered, these individuals add real value.

Cons

• Tenure is often treated as a proxy for performance, which is deeply flawed. Length of time in a role does not consistently correlate with leadership effectiveness, team health, or operational outcomes. • Patterns of turnover at the community and regional levels are telling, yet frequently dismissed or explained away. It is not difficult to identify where issues exist when the same locations and teams experience repeated departures. • There is a noticeable level of denial around leadership impact. Even as people continue to leave, accountability rarely follows, and root causes remain unaddressed. • In some cases, long-standing leaders contribute to instability rather than continuity. Institutional knowledge is valuable, but it loses its value when it is paired with resistance to feedback, growth, or change. • The organization too often protects familiarity over effectiveness, which ultimately harms strong performers and discourages long-term retention.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your time with Discovery Senior Living. We are pleased to hear you found such a strong sense of integrity and collaboration within your immediate team, but we also value your direct perspective on the challenges surrounding leadership accountability and organizational turnover. We recognize that tenure should never be a substitute for effectiveness, and your advice to use attrition as a diagnostic tool for leadership health is well-taken. We are committed to nurturing a culture where performance and team development are the primary measures of success at every level, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us so we can continue to improve. We wish you the very best in your next chapter.
