Pros
I love the residents and caring for them. I love how rewarding this job is. I make a difference in my residents lives with the limited time I have.
Cons
I've been here for more than 3 years. I got my cna and another job. One of the best things I have ever done. I am so happy. You can be a wonderful caregiver and give great care but you can never keep up. Call lights go off constantly, you also have to do the dining room. They are experimenting and creating a new way of doing things like bringing "higher level care" into the building but not increasing staff. They think we are over staffed. When this building was morning star it had residents needing less care and we had 5-6 caregivers depending on what time of the day it was and two qmaps. What is worse is management treats people awful. Like dogs. Do not put up with this. The turn over rate is so high. I'm turned off from corporate places like this and will never work for one again. Managers make you feel insecure threatening to fire people and do up and fire people.
