A Place for Mom reviews

My experience working at APFM was nothing short of a nightmare, and it's primarily due to the disastrous executive leadership. [Executive Leadership] The leadership team at APFM is completely out of touch with the realities of the workplace, and the senior living industry. Their decisions were often arbitrary, and hasty, and made without considering the impact on employees. It's clear that they prioritize their personal agendas over the well-being of the company and its workforce. Communication from the top-down was abysmal. Important decisions were made in secret, and employees were left in the dark about the direction of the company. When issues arose, they were consistently ignored or inadequately addressed. There was a complete lack of accountability among the executives. Mistakes and failures were never owned up to, and the blame was often shifted to lower-level employees. This toxic culture of scapegoating eroded trust and morale. It was clear that in certain instances, decision-making processes were influenced by the personal egos of the C-Suite rather than sound, objective judgment. This hindered the ability to make the best choices for the situation at hand and produced disappointing results lowering company wide morale. The welfare of employees was not a priority for the executives. Long working hours were expected, forced OT, denied PTO, and without regard for lower level work-life balance. Employee concerns were dismissed, and there was no support for professional development or career advancement with continual bait and switch of current employees, and hiring from outside APFM. The toxic atmosphere created by the executive leadership trickled down throughout the organization, leading to a demoralized workforce. It's no surprise that the company struggled to retain top talent and many senior leaders are fleeing the company. In sum, APFM is a prime example of how terrible executive leadership can cripple an otherwise promising company. My time there was marred by the dysfunction at the top, and it's clear that they need a major overhaul in their leadership structure to succeed in the future.

Layoffs and extremely high turn over rate. There were constant fires. It was impossible to be proactive there. There is no loyalty there. I saw some that worked there for 18 years loose their job because of layoffs. They let about 120 people go since the beginning of this year. When their lease expired in a very expensive office in NY, the CEO asked if they should bother opening up another office. All executives said no. He did it anyway. The office was so small that not hardly any execs had a private office. It was more of like the CEO's lounge. With the place costing over 90k a month.. They had to let all those people go just so the CEO could have an office in the Diamond District. This place cares nothing about you, its all about the dollars.
