Nursing/management - Nursing Country Meadows Retirement Communities Employee Review

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.
