Great on paper ... Terrible once you see how its run
Pros
RESIDENTS! They are some of the funniest, kindest, and most heart-warming human beings you will ever meet. Listening to them talk and hearing their stories is truly THE only good thing about the position.
Cons
Where do I start? -the food is pitiful. with the amount of donations they get, and "tuition" they collect from the residents, as well as the laughable pay the employees get, you'd think they'd spend more on food. -management really does not care for the independence and happiness of the residents. I heard many-a-times that people came in with more skills than they left with. They are so focused on micromanaging people that many of the residents literally become depressed and unhappy living there. -the $15/hr pay is almost laughable for the amount of work RTs do. Not only do they distribute dozens and dozens of the resident's medications/supplements, but they help them clean themselves, take them on outings, and even give them showers.
