      Pros

      Making a difference with the elderly population

      Cons

      experience with LifeSpark. I’ve returned to work with them three times (pleading for my return), always out of a love for the residents and a commitment to providing compassionate care. I have 15 years of CNA experience and am currently building my practice as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. I hold high standards for safe, ethical care. Sadly, LifeSpark has consistently shown a pattern of disorganization, unsafe practices, and lack of respect for professional boundaries and legal scope of practice. To those considering working for LifeSpark, especially at Urbana Senior Living — proceed with caution. If you’re a CNA or other licensed worker, be aware that you may be asked to do things outside your legal scope. If you raise concerns, be prepared for possible retaliation or indifference. I sincerely hope this company reevaluates how it supports its frontline staff and makes resident care and staff safety a true priority.

      Safety is always our top priority, and we take every review seriously. After conducting an internal review, we were unable to verify the concerns shared in this post. At all of our communities, including the one mentioned, team members are never asked to work outside their professional scope. Our teams are dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to supporting residents and each other. While the work can be challenging, it is meaningful, and we’re proud of the people who make our communities strong and supportive places to live and work. We value all feedback, as it helps us continue to grow and improve. If you’re open to sharing more details, we’d welcome the opportunity to learn more at sparkon@lifespark.com.

      We are sorry to hear this was your experience. Our experience is that our management team is comprised of very organized, compassionate leaders. It’s why we have over 46 thriving communities. We place tremendous value on the people who work in our communities because safety, trust, and culture are our priorities. There’s no question it’s a tough hiring market across the senior housing industry but luckily we continue to stay ahead of that trend with teams who uphold our core values. We would love to better understand your situation because feedback is a key part of helping us improve our employee experience. Please reach out to our HR Director at sparkon@lifespark.com.

      Company Culture Declined

      Pros

      The field staff/my team were excellent clinicians that truly tried and cared for seniors. The clients are wonderful!

      Cons

      This company has declined. There is no longer work life balance. PTO is denied, While I was on PTO I had to check in multiple times a day or my entire schedule/plan of care was changed when I was off. This was extremely stressful for me and for patients and their families. Management will send emails or Teams messages at all hours of the day and on the weekend. Admissions/management will keep pushing for new clients even if the field team is already over full. I have seen new evals wait for over a week before they are seen. Staff are told to change plan of care from 2x a week to 1x a week even if the pt needs 2x a week treatment due to being saturated with clients and not having enough staff. Productivity is pushed not client care.
