Pros
Working at Blakehurst has been life-changing in the best way. I came to Blakehurst after experiencing a personal loss that deeply impacted my life. During a very difficult season, I attended a job fair and was given an opportunity that helped me rebuild both professionally and personally. I started part-time and transitioned to full-time within five months. From my first week, I could feel the positive environment. There is a genuine sense of community here — not just among departments, but throughout the entire organization. Management and department heads have been fair, approachable, and open to communication. The open-door approach truly makes a difference. The work can be fast-paced and occasionally challenging, but when you enjoy what you do and feel supported, you rise to meet those challenges. The residents genuinely appreciate the staff, which makes the work even more rewarding. No two days are the same, and that keeps the experience fresh and engaging. If you’re looking for a workplace that values teamwork, communication, and community, Blakehurst is worth considering.
Cons
Compensation increases could be more competitive over time
Pros
I've had the amazing opportunity to interview and now work for Blakehurst! From start to finish, the experience has been excellent. I've never worked for a company that has constantly stayed in touch with me to check in and see how my experience has been thus far as well as personally sent me welcome baskets and lunches throughout my first week, etc. Every employee I've encountered from my first interview until now as a new team member has smiled, said welcome and has asked me if I need anything and can help. Everyone genuinely enjoys their work, take it seriously and loves the residents! Blakehurst is an amazing workplace & I will recommend to everyone who is serious about creating a great workplace.
Cons
None at this time, keep up the great work!
