All American Assisted Living

The actual job description is pretty easy if you have computer and phone skills. You shouldn't need a medical background to do the job but sometimes it is expected that you do. The pay is substantial low. Raises and reviews are not given in a timely manner so don't expect them to follow through with their verbal commitments.  No financial reward for anyone putting in extra time week after week in the front part of the facility. Most residents and their families are good people. However, for the money that they pay, the residents should  receive better care in all areas. Turnover is high due to management priorities and a few bad apples. Common courtesy and kindness are lacking from some of the employees. The priority of management is money. Period. Residents are placed in the assisted living area when they should be in the memory care unit. The memory care unit is always full but they will not turn away a paying individual. With that comes additional tasks for all employees who must deal with the plethora of challenges that a resident may require. Residents are also affected. Employees are understaffed which puts an added burden on the front. Anyone with a heart and caring nature should not take this job as you will find yourself constantly at odds with what you can and cannot do. No one with a heart can ignore a resident when they need assistance but the time lag from when they press their pendant to when they receive the help they need is always unacceptable. Back to understaffed and lack of leadership. The food at this facility is good but the menu never changes. Residents constantly complain. Hot dogs and beans every Saturday night gets old. Security - other than a locked employee door and the Concierge, there is none unless you're on the memory care side. Residents are supposed to wear their pendants to go out for walks etc but no one checks or asks. Eventually, this will have to be an added responsibilty of the front due to the many memory care residents that should not be on the assisted living side of the facility. Again, misplaced residents due to the priority being money and not care results in a lack of safety for the resident. Activities at this facility have greatly improved. Thanks to a great Activities Director, the residents are actually enjoying their stay more than ever before.

Pay attention to the good reviews here - they were all written on the same day by people in management positions and employees were all offered compensation for writing reviews. Note that not a single employee took the bait. 

Management here is generally out of touch with what is required to get the job done, as well as what market value is for any given position.  You will be told that you're joining a supportive team of people who work together to get things done, but in actuality, the staff is constantly on edge, grumpy, a snapping at each other because they don't have the time or resources to do the job properly, and they're being under compensated for their efforts to boot. Your job description will change constantly based on what management thinks you should be doing regardless of whether or not it's actually something you're capable of doing, but your pay will never reflect those changes. The bonus is that they'll hire anyone and no one ever gets fired, and that's as close to job security as you can get. Also, you will have a break automatically taken from your paycheck for every shift regardless of whether or not you get the chance to take a break, and the likelihood of you actually getting to take a break is slim to none, and HR will fight you over it every time because "you're supposed to take a break" and it's your problem if you didn't I guess. 

I would say stay far far away from this place unless it's your only option. The building is falling apart and everyone including the residents are miserable. 

Overall working at an assisted living facilities our goal is to provide fun, good food and a happy home life for the elderly. As the previous food service director my team and I enjoyed just that. However, the pay for other employees was at a minimum and local fast food places were paying $3 or $4 dollars and hour more. I believe this company should have paid more of an incentive to their employees/potential employees because of who our target market was. Without the pay for the employees I worked not only as the director but a AM cook, PM cook, server, busser, dishwasher, closer and maintenance crew pulling in 13-16 hours a day 7 days a week working as multiple rolls at one time. When given feedback about the pay or lack there of the answer was always “it’s not in the budget”. However, we are taking care of these people in their homes and they should be getting the attention they deserve. 

I had started at All American about 6 months after its opening. I now understand how much goes into running an assisted living building. As the facility grew there was unmatched staff to residents, at times it felt overwhelming. I left due to continuous turn overs in management, it was difficult to have a rapport with the DON when there was someone new every few months. Because of this my concerns/requests seemed to get lost in communication. I hope this has changed since my absence and that there is some stability. Besides management, I had the absolute best nursing staff. One that cared so deeply for their residents and would come to work on their days off just to spend more time with them. The LNAs and nurses at the time of my employment did their absolute best everyday. I am thankful for the bonds I had made and learned a lot.

The location in Hillsborough is terribly understaffed so be prepared to work long hours. The morale is terrible.  The company hired a block of people from another location, who have formed a click type atmosphere where new or people from the outside of their little club are not welcomed and treated terribly.  

The pay isn't too bad, but you will work for it!  The residents are 90% wheel chair bound so getting around is near to impossible.  Most of the residents have between slight and full blown dementia, which makes communication near to impossible.  Most of the staff is disheartened and they tend to lose good people.  a very selfish atmosphere.  You are better off waiting for a position in a more positive environment.

As a nurse you can find it easy to work there, but I dont like management there, like the corporate side. And the it feels like half of the people there cant do there job which in turns affect your job. It can be a little short staff but its not that bad, the facility is clean, people are friendly. I left only because I didn't like being supervisor as an lpn, cause you ask the aid to do something and they don't do it. Talk back to you and stuff and then management don't do anything about it really. And sometimes I feel bad for the resident, but nursing is know to be like that sometimes so this is not one of the bad facility, honestly I loved the place, I think its a good place to work at, except for these minor issues. Give it a try, you might like it, the workload is easy.

The job itself isn’t terrible. It’s actually quite fun. I worked as a server there and I fell in love with each one of the residents. They’re the sweetest seniors ever. The staff is gossipy & unprofessional, there are the few who are kind and friendly and overall great people but for the most part, management & overnight crew are not that great. So if you’re looking for a place with teamwork, work ethic & decent management, this is not the job for you. But if you care about people and want to help even when working with not so great coworkers, this job is an ideal fit. The residents there deserve better and if you’re the kind of person to care about stuff most people don’t, I think you should apply here. 

I was always busy. Therefore, an eight hour day would typically go fast. The phones were always busy and there was a lot of traffic at the front desk. 

Some things I learned were medical lingo, when to screen calls for managers and take messages for nursing, how events are organized, the difference between Alzheimer's and Dementia, how to stay organized and efficient in a fast paced environment.

The hardest part of the job was trying to understand what was bothering some of the residents and figuring out how to help them.

The most enjoyable part of my job was when we held events. I loved sharing in the fun with the residents and my fellow coworkers.

As the Activities Director at All American at Londonderry I am fortunate to work for a company that truly values its employees and residents. The team here is incredibly supportive, collaborative, and always eager to create meaningful experiences for our residents. The atmosphere is positive, with a strong focus on making every day enjoyable for our residents through engaging activities and events. The residents are wonderful, and it’s truly fulfilling to be part of their lives. This company not only offers a fantastic work environment but also fosters a sense of community and care that makes every day rewarding.

Horrible Place to work. Was a shift lead and because people older than me wanted the position, lies were told to the admin team. When i was written up with no chance of being able to give my own side of the store, I quit. I loved my residents and their families and majority of co-workers, but admin didn't care at all about bringing in people that 100% were not appropriate for Assisted Living. 25% of residents should have been in nursing homes with better around the clock care for them. Never had enough staff. Never any repercussions for people showing up late/others having to cover their shifts because of how short we always were.
