Horrible, the DON along with other management only cares for themselves and making money-not the residents.

Pros

Some staff are very enjoyable to work with. The residents are the only reason I am there for. They make the work even more enjoyable.

Cons

MANAGEMENT! There are a lot of lazy staff members, and only a few good ones. Nurses will write you up for anything. There is favoritism with who can stay and who can not. ( 3 write-ups and your gone, but there have been staff members that have been written up MORE than that and are still working.) You also get paid less than you would at other facilities.

Terrible place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

The staff and residents are wonderful to work with. The administration is pretty good about giving time off when needed.

Cons

The administration is far more concerned about making money than resident care. The facility is severely understaffed, especially the memory care unit.
