Genesis HealthCare reviews

Zero corporate support Genesis owns 50% of the company and a joint venture partner (who actually operates the buildings) makes all of the decisions You never know who to follow and they would routinely give conflicting and opposite direction The policies and training are so outdated that your competitors are crushing you and your team The joint venture operator is a disaster and they never want to assist you If you ask for assistance, they will push you aside, take over your facilities, and look to push you out They do not care about the employees or the residents. During Covid a lot of staff got sick. They told the employees they would not approve unemployment, they needed to apply through workers comp insurance first. They did this knowing their work comp carrier was not going to even look at the claims for 120 to 150 days after application. So the employees, many of which that live paycheck to paycheck, simply got zero assistance from unemployment or workers comp. The company attitude was “we will bleed them out until they have to come back to work because they can’t afford not to”. They also cut all of the floor staffing during the pandemic to avoid using agency. This left the floors working with one nurse to 35-50 residents and 1 CNA per 20-30 patients regularly. I have run facilities for 20 plus years and never seen staffing that low. It’s not only unsafe but unethical and immoral. Did not get a single day of vacation in a year and a half and they refused to pay my vacation out. I worked 7 days a week for 18 months and could not get a day off The company is likely going bankrupt as they were delisted to the pink sheets and their stock has plummeted to .25 and as low as .15 cents a share. Their CEO took a 6.2 million dollar “retention bonus” and then retired anyway...but kept his money. They are now on their 3rd CEO in as many months. They had to sell their 9 most profitable facilities and walked away from 51 facilities. Their previous CEO gave a “going forward” statement warning of bankruptcy and things have gotten worse, not better, since he issued that statement. They chose to delist to avoid releasing their financial statements. And still have not released their 4th quarter statements.
