Pros

-The residents steal your heart -The families for the most part are very involved and verbalize appreciation -The caregivers and other nurses REALLY care about the residents and give good care -The working hours and availability of extra shifts if you want them -You can make a difference in at least 1 residents life everyday -Ability to make lifelong friendships with staff and/or family members

Cons

-Corporate, corporate, corporate only care about money and not the residents or staff -keep staff who blatantly do not show up for work, yet let others go who really want to be there, solely based on "personality"...which means they do not kiss up to upper mgt and corporate -If you kiss enough behinds....you can go all the way to the top -the mgt form their own opinions about the residents and staff and rarely listen to your concerns

Silverado Response

Thank you for providing more than five great years of service to so many of our residents, their families and our fellow associates at our Calabasas community. We really do have an outstanding team of nurses and caregivers! Because of our exceptional staff, we are able to offer world-class care to those with memory related diseases. We are proud to say that so many of our associates have been promoted from within. We have been fortunate to support many of our associates become Certified Nurse Assistants, Licensed Nurses and Registered Nurses. We have many leaders who have been promoted from within to their current roles as directors. If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve, please feel free to share your ideas with a member of our Home Office Human Resources team. With your five years of service at Silverado, we would love to hear from you!

Pros

Very meaningful and rewarding work helping families through one of the hardest transitions in life. The role truly allows you to make a difference and positively impact residents and families every day. Supportive team environment with leadership that understands the emotional side of the work. During a difficult personal time when my grandfather was dying, the company was incredibly supportive and allowed me the time I needed to be at his bedside with my family. It is truly a blessing to be part of Silverado. The work we do changes lives by giving families the opportunity to be family again while knowing their loved one is being cared for with compassion, dignity, and support.

Cons

The work can be emotionally heavy at times because you build close relationships with residents and families who are going through difficult situations. However, the support from the team and leadership helps make those challenges manageable.
