Pros

Great training and ability to make decisions in your own department.

Cons

Each year goals are increased so high that you can no longer exceed them. Its about who you know, not what you know. The company is all about profit and no longer about the mission. If you have been there for a long time and are maxed out in your salary, they could care less if you leave because they are trying to hire a new, less expensive employee. (They don't care how successful you've been in the past!) It's all about the bottom line. No loyalty to successful team members. Either move them up to the next level to justify their salary, or move them out. (Let them quit or find reasons to fire them). Again, it's all about WHO you know, not about how GREAT of an employee you are. Completely different environment then when the Klaussen's were directly involved. Very disappointing!

Pros

Lovely decorating, beautiful garden, most Care Managers are extraordinary and care.

Cons

Extremely weak management with systemic lack of business sense, integrity, minimal understanding of and compassion for dementia behaviors or physical limitations. Sales saying absolutely anything to close the deal then the dramatic shift-a shocking lack of concern for residents on cite. Minimal and poor activities lead by people who do not enjoy or appreciate residents which leads to increased resident depression and intensified memory loss. Alarmingly minimal nursing presence and hours, Care Managers giving medications-training is completely inadequate. Lack of management presence on cite. Assisted living residents eloping not infrequently.
