Pros

Health benefits, meal plan, annual raises and reviews, training and career paths

Cons

While country meadows has been voted best places to work multiple times, much of that on the Allentown campus is influenced by executive directors telling staff that the "anonymous" 3rd party surveys must be completed with positive reviews. Nursing staff are not valued and are underpaid. The work load is similar to skilled nursing, with double the paperwork. The Allentown campus is consistently understaffed, and staff are placed in unsafe situations on a regular basis. Staff turnover is incredi ly high, but this is hidden from home office simply by neglecting to post all open positions on retention reports. Medication errors are not reported properly, or at all many times. Management staff are trained immediately that they are not permitted to contact the home office with any concerns; not ever. This is drilled into management regularly. Issues are handled "in house" only and unfortunately the core values of the company are not reflected on the Allentown campus.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, though it is inconsistent with what we learn from families and residents and even co-workers. The home office team, including the Leader family, is very involved at each of our campuses with regular in-person visits and one-on-one time with departments and individuals. We invite you to contact our corporate team directly at Corporate@CountryMeadows.com if you have specific experiences to share. We hope you are doing well in your new endeavors.
