Buyer’s remorse - Licensed Practical Nurse Senior Living Communities Employee Review

The company sells nurses on smaller ratios than other facilities (12:1) which didn’t last long at all. Day nurses generally work with a partner nurse which keeps the ratios at 12:1. Night nurses work alone with no SHIFT DIFFERENTIALS. Patient acuity varies but is generally high. The company has a goal of keeping call light response times to 2 minutes but only staffs 2-3 people to work during nights. Management constantly reminds staff of the costs the residents pay to live in facility (10k/month) as if somehow that determines what level of care they receive. The company decided to crack down on expenses in May by scheduling less staff, resident falls went from 10 in May, to over 30 in June.
