Taking one for the team of caregivers...

Pros

Feels like everyone is family oriented, beautiful atmosphere..

Cons

As my title said, taking one for the team. This review is for the Alhambra location. The staff and I would like to give corporate a few tips that (crossing fingers) could hopefully change up a few things. Us caregivers an CNAs love our job but we don't feel like we are appreciated enough. If you think about it, we are the main faces to the residents, put them to bed, between rounds at night we change them, help them up to the toilet, back to bed, up for breakfast and watch them the entire day till night (you get the idea). Us caregivers would like more credit as we don't think it's fair out rates start at 9.50 per hour. We wish you would take into consideration the fact that we are for our residents and lets face it, it's not as easy as it seems. It's back breaking work. Our jobs consists of lifting residents to the bathroom and changing them in bed. Majority of them can't even move. Each of us got a position as a caregiver because the person who interviewed us saw and realized we care for our residents and we love what we do. But that doesn't mean to give us such low pay. . There is les back breaking work at McDonalds for about .50 cents more. If you go on salary.com average hourly for a caregiver 1 on 1 is around 11-14 dollars (imagine having a group of about 5 residents to keep an eye on and help with bathroom and grooming) ... It's not an easy job. And the 2 percent once a year isn't much. As we are the MAIN ones taking care of our residents, I feel we get lack of incentives. I love my job, some of us have been here for years and still have troubles paying the bills. Please note this is a concern that we don't get paid enough for what we do. And that this is a message from all of us caregivers and CNAs.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and point of view. Caring for our residents, clients and patients is not an easy task and we all definitely put our heart and sweat into making sure that we are providing the best care possible. Fast food and other industries do offer a comparable salary, but at the end of the day, we are all here because we love those for whom we provide care, we are committed to them and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve them and learn from them every day, definitely something we wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else we work. Thank you for your commitment to our residents, clients and patients and helping to make it a great day for them, every day.

Pros

-The desired culture is awesome...giving love and life to residents -Beautiful facilities -The upper level executive team listens and cares -Some helpful and understanding mid-management/regional leaders -Opportunity to develop relationships w/ residents and co-workers -Pay is at least average, above average in certain fields

Cons

- Entitled, lazy, whiny, unreliable associates. It is not one certain group...they are heavily in local entry level positions, some local management positions, and possibly some regional and home office positions. I mainly experienced it firsthand locally in various communities. -Everyone whines and complains about their various "grievances", imagined unfairnesses, and perceived too heavy of workloads. The fact is, if the majority of associates would just simply show up on time and perform their job, most issues would resolve themselves and this would be an awesome workplace. - The community was constantly short staffed and a mess...not primarily because of residents, but because of associates. Associates would throw trash on the floor, ignore resident alarms, not properly change residents, break-room was always a pig sty, habitually arrive late, always getting "sick", watch tv instead of assisting/engaging residents, roll their eyes if they were confronted. -Manager burn out - managers were expected to cover for all hourly associate absences, meaning that the manager was mainly working the hourly jobs, besides trying to perform their managerial duties
