Abernethy Laurels

I i could give this place negative 1,000 stars, I would! Abernethy Laurels is the worst place I have ever worked! It is extremely understaffed. They will put you on a unit with 20 people by yourself! Sometimes two units! That's 40 residents. 98% of the nurses will not help you when you are by yourself. They sit in the offices, eat, laugh, and talk bad about you or other staff. It is extremely stressful and overwhelming. The nurses and CNAs gossip like there is no tomorrow. No one has a life outside of that place. I was told by many nurses and med aids that "they give everyone laxatives" when certain people are working on a certain unit. That is abusive! People get away with residents being SOAKED all day and night! Bed sheet literally dripping wet. When you tell someone to come look and see, they just shrug it off like you are a trouble maker. Nurses are very disrespectful toward housekeeping and some CNAs. If you are not apart of their clique, then they will do their best to make your life there horrible. Everyone is so stressed, they argue and fight with each other all the time. If you are not working fast enough, you get talked about. The number of showers are ridiculous! 9-10 showers are expected to get done on one shift! It is impossible! They will do any and everything to be nice and suck up so you will work yourself to death for no pay! one shift leaves the rooms absolutely disgusting and you have to come in and clean it up. Do not come here to work or send your family member here to live. Abuse and neglect is an understatement. the numbers look good but you will have to see for yourself whats behind closed doors. The new HR woman is extremely rude and doesn't know or care how to do her job. She is allowed to treat people bad just like everyone in upper management is.Upper management talks about staff like they are nothing. Its one big high school full of tattle tells!

Work-life balance
It is a good place to work and all. The people there are nice and friendly. But the Manger over evs he is terrible i just can't stand to work for him. You can talk to him about another employee and he wants to write you up for just complaining and I just don't like working there because you don't get appreciate for your good work and he is not friendly at all he doesn't say good morning to anyone. I am looking for another job where u don't feel stressed. I am saying I wouldn't work there

Pay & benefits
The pay is not all that.

Management
They act like that don't care about you and the good job that you do for them and the management there it sucks. I work in the laundry room and the air conditioning doesn't work and there is no heat what so ever and it is ice cold u go tell the manger about it and they just say ok and they don't act like they want to do anything about it.

Overall
I love working in the laundry room and I have got coworkers there but there is no team work in the laundry room some people are doing more others. The air conditioning keeps going out and you go tell the evs manger and he just looks at you and say ok and nothing is done about and the heat doesn't work in there it like they don't care if you work in a cold place as long as you get the job done

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is busy with caregiving tasks in order to meet the needs of the residents, which includes a variety of activities, such as assisting residents with meals, bathing and dressing, providing companionship, helping residents with enrichment acticities, and assisting residents prepare for family outings and doctor appointments.

My current title is Health Information Coordinator/Medical Records. I am responsible for coding diagnoses of all new residents in the Skilled Nursing facility; ready a hard chart for new admits (we are currently on HealthMedx system. Some information is now electronic). I also maintain a "soft" chart for current residents in Medical Records until they discharge from the facility,  I am responsible for monthly chart audits; quarterly reports on falls, skin tears, etc.
I am responsible for copying record requests that come in to our facility and break down all charts of residents who discharge.

I have enjoyed working at Abernethy Laurels. I like to work with the residents and my fellow employees. They pay more than minimum wage to start. I just have more bills and need a job paying better. On a typical day it is hot in the kitchen but there are places that the A/C works better. The carts in the old building are very hard to push. The new building is cooler than the old. It is a place where you can make a friend and then they can be gone (pasted away) sooner that you want. It is hard to deal with if you get too close to them.

When I first started working at Abernathy, it was okay. That phase went down fast with the amount of work they expect, not getting the help you need and the head managers not doing much, but making light of employees behind their backs. Organization is very poor and many walk out, plus if you get Covid, you have to be out of work, without pay unless you have Paid time off accumulated. Hopefully the management will be more considerate of people's feelings and try to keep workers who are there, instead of thinking they can always be replaced or trying to run people away.

The buildings are beautiful and new, but unfortunately there is a revolving door for staff. Some new employees don’t make it through orientation before they decide to leave which is disheartening. It’s difficult to feel appreciated when there is very little recognition for the great job you’re doing, but lots of reprimanding for any mistakes made. Staff should feel appreciated and not be afraid to come to work. No continuity as far as hall assignments. This seems to go for nursing and CNAs. For those nurses and CNAs that do stay, most work well as a team.

My day started with getting report on my assignment for the day. Making sure that narcotics count and give report to cnas Start major med pass. check all diabetics that need to be checked.After med pass. Check for treatments and  dressings that need to be changed.Charting as it can be worked in .I enjoy talking with residents and their families.I enjoy seeing residents make  progress that are in rehab. I especially  enjoy alzheimers residents because the are so appreciative of the little things you do for them

I really enjoyed my time at Abernethy Laurels. I will always treasure the memories I made with each of the residents I grew to know and bond with. The job itself wasn't why I left. I absolutely loved my job. But the stress of us being short staffed the majority of the time and the lack of caring and hands on management drove myself and other coworkers before me to leave. I would consider working there again if the management team supported and helped the workers more.

The only good thing about this place as you can get the hours that you hope for that’s about it! They had me train two people in the EVS department that stared out more than Me. With no experience!! Compared to my 3 years experience. Management is terrible they make it very clear that your family life does not matter. Does no good to do something about it they all stick up for each other and sweep it under the rug. It’s just not right they will start someone with experience at nine dollars but let someone come in with no experience at $11 it’s all backwards not a good place to work for
