All they care about is money

Pros

The pay is ok but not even close to worth working in the conditions that you work in

Cons

Understaffing that management doesn’t even pretend to care about. They bring in more residents telling them what wonderful care they will receive and then the residents realize quickly they are not getting what they pay for. How can you possibly think you are providing excellent care to seniors when you make them wait an hour+ to use the bathroom because there are literally 30 residents per caregiver? I am asked every day by these poor elderly people why they have to wait so long to get any kind of attention and all I can say is MANAGEMENT DOESNT CARE. It’s all about making money with these people and once you’re in the door they could care less. I have mentioned my concerns many times and nothing has ever changed.

Thank you for your years of service, and we appreciate the love and care you provided to our residents. Anonymous reviews are essential, and we welcome the feedback, but the lack of providing a location increases our difficulty in addressing your concerns.

The best of luck in your future positions.

Not as bad as most senior living facilities

Pros

I worked as an evening shift CNA and honestly it was a good experience. The staff and coworkers were awesome and it felt like a team environment. The facility was adequately staffed so understanding was never a big issue. Not a bad place to work if you're starting out as a CNA, this only really goes for the salmon creek facility, I can't speak about any other facilities.

Cons

No major issues that I noticed. Pay could've been a little higher though (11$ starting).
