12 Oaks Senior Living

I want to start by stating I was let go without any warnings or clear communication for crying while experiencing sensory-overload. 

The workload was generally fine. A lot of job was helping residents with packages and helping them get back in their rooms if they became locked out. Now that the building is near capacity though, there is really too much going on for one concierge to handle completely alone during peak hours. On the day I was let go I had been dealing with around 4 or 5 concurrent high-priority emergencies that I would not have been able to handle solo even in my top form. I sincerely hope they start scheduling more people during the busiest hours of mon-fri for the well-being of the my other former colleagues. 

The odds of that actually happening are low. Management does very little to communicate, even to the concierges. You would be lucky if they gave any real advance notice or explanation to a major maintenance project in the building that would include turning the main water line off. The owners expect clerical workers to pay for their own cleaning supplies, and do not provide training to front desk on how to properly sanitize an area that has been exposed to bodily fluids such as blood; despite us often being the only staff in the building who are present to do so.

Overall I would say that this company views their staff and the bonds that they form with residents as being inconsequential. I dont recommend working here. 

I only worked for this company for a few months and I wish I could forget it. Applied for the posted job that was full time M-F, started working and it was changed to part time, including Saturday. I never received benefits. The management at my particular property was filled with drama in every position. The turnover at this property was crazy, people where starting and quitting every week. Once I gave my notice because I was not going to be given full time hours and benefits (that I was promised in the interview) I was treated poorly by management and ended up leaving sooner than planned. The residents there are great, but they could even see the problems with the people working there. I should ave left as soon as the job was changed to part time, but was told it would change to full time soon, that wasn't ever going to happen. Awful culture and wouldn't recommend working or living at this place.

This company does not care about its employee's and the management is some of the most inexperienced i have ever seen. some of the nurses barely interact with the residents of the buildings they live in, the Executive director's have zero clue how busy and overworked the maintenance men that work for them and when you report infractions they just brush you off because they didnt see it themselves . The marketing team only cares about your money and likes to hand off tours that they themselves can do to other people. 

the Med Techs do whatever they want and hardly help anyone else unless someone is there to watch them to make them accountable, and i feel bad for anyone stuck working as a caregiver because they always ending up working by themselves to the point that they look for another job.

I Would not recommend this company to anyone until they fix the problems they apparently do not see is an actual problem

I absolutely love my job! The management works with my life outside of work when it comes to flexibility. The co workers are team players and work well with each other. The most important thing I have seen here, is the true heart to care for our residents! They work with you so you can move up in the building. I have worked in this field for 6 years and have never seen a whole building become a family. We take pride in our work. It's fasted pasted but with tons of training opportunity! I have learned so much in the past 2 years.

I have no problems working there , I love to work with the elderly and that is what I do . 
If you follow the business protocols and love to work with the elderly you always going to have hours there.

I loved the residents, but I got fired because a staff member told them I was going to quit and was looking for another job when I wasn’t planning on leaving completely but fired me without asking anything anything. I wasn’t going to leave completely was going to go down to part time instead of full because I was being worked to the bone. Med aides would barely help only certain ones would help, and when talking to management about getting help so I wasn’t the only ra they wouldn’t help try and fine someone to help.  And also when going to management to address issues or concerns I had about other staff I would get told to ignore it. 

The management company is great.  They listen and try to make solutions permanent but with healthcare it’s ever changing.  Love some of the management, others seem to fake smile in your face.  Growth is not a possibility unless you go back to school and change companies.  Hardest part is seeing a resident in need and the budget doesn’t allow (this is everywhere).  Enjoyed the residents.  Overall the company is a great management company but when they get bought out or change, just know that you can be replaced. 

Honestly you can't have any real compassion and work at any nursing home very long because you quickly realize you have no power to care for these residents like they deserve.  Its all about money and doing the least amount of work you can get away with.  I have seen residents ignored and dismissed, and barely english speaking caregivers dispensing medications, which in my opinion is a lawsuit waiting to happen.  I say get your experience to put on your resume, get your RN or LPN and move on to the hospitals.  The pay is just not worth it at a nursing home.

The management staff only care about the business side of the facility and their own image, they don’t care about their residents or employees. They will cut your hours, move your schedule around or write you up for anything, for example, not telling a manager hello, to force you out. The director is more worried about what employees are saying about her and doing than actually managing the property, she hides cameras all around the facility that are connected straight to her phone. Would not recommend anyone working here or and residents moving in.

I have really enjoyed my time here.
I get to meet amazing new residents and their families every day. The work culture among employees is great. Management is caring and always works with my scheduling needs. I get to eat delicious meals. 
I have gained meaningful skills during my time here.
The only downside is losing residents you have grown close with. I would definitely recommend working here.
