The absolute most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in.  Upper management has no idea how to run home health and they don’t care about the patients or staff.  The biggest concern is opening cases, but not actually following through with good care.  They cannot keep clinicians or staff because as upper management says things like “they should be happy they have a job” as they force clinicians to drive from east valley to west and vice versa. The management will not decline cases for any reason especially if they cannot staff, the patient just sits for a week or two until they can find a nurse or therapist to open and use their sketchy partnership with an NP practice to write delay orders for just about every patient waiting for service.  In the office everyone is very unhappy and unappreciated.  If someone leaves for whatever reason they don’t re-hire they instead find someone in another position to force into accepting a secondary role and don’t give them an option.   It’s a bully environment full of puppets.  If you aren’t accepting of the demands and disagree with upper management they ship you out (fire/layoff) for a “yes” man  puppet.  



Caring Community, Compassionate caregivers,I can confidently say it's a truly special place. Our community is dedicated to providing top-notch care and support to our residents, and I'm proud to be a part of a team that prioritizes their well-being above all else.

The staff is compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the residents. We work together seamlessly to ensure each resident receives personalized attention and care. I've learned so much from my colleagues and appreciate the collaborative environment.

What sets us apart is our commitment to creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We strive to make every resident feel valued, respected, and loved. It's rewarding to see residents thrive and know I'm contributing to their quality of life.

If you're considering working or placing a loved one in assisted living, I'd highly recommend Laurel cove (encore communities)We're more than just a community – we're a family."

Newer company in the area, still figuring out and developing themselves but cont to communicate changes/growth appropriately 

I have worked for several senior living companies in my 15 years in the industry and I have to say that Encore Communities is the best senior living company I have ever worked for!
The staff in the communities are helpful and caring and truly love what they do. There is a sense of calm and peace when you enter into any one of the Encore Communities. Staff are engaged with residents, laughing and assisting them with their daily routines.
Upper management are helpful and available when you have questions or concerns.
For the first time in a long time, I actually love coming to work everyday knowing that I'm making a difference in the resident's lives.

I’ve worked in all departments, except Administration, HR, etc, in many places across two states. Northwoods Lodge is the best I have had the honor to work at. Covid-19 hit and it has impacted staffing but, we work as a team. Care of the clients is foremost in all our minds. Pay could be better but, I have a job. Benefits are there if you want or need them. I’ve been here eight years of the 36 I have worked in healthcare. We are proud of what we do and we stand on the shoulders of those whom have built the reputation we have.

Overall it’s great becuase the residence are well taken care of. Unlike in some other nursing facilities the DNR seemed to always be busy, or “working on it” or the, “oh! It’s already been brought to my attention when you want to show them something. But some of the floor nurses, the ones working with the actual residence acted as if they were better then you and they can’t answer call lights or change briefs. But not all of them just seemed like the nurses that did do this always got away with it and anyone who said anything was just ignored. 

I was hired to work 4 days a week. However new SOC assessments take so long to complete that I had to spend nights and weekends charting at home. At times the office would be closed and I could not pick up supplies needed for a home visit. Even after asking for help multiple times it did not change. I heard that there was a lot of turnover of RN's before I started. I came to understand why after being told to go see a patient on my day off when I was not on call.

I work at The Ridge which is the Encore Communities memory care facility in Silverdale. I have only been here a few months now but I absolutely love it. I've worked at many different nursing facilities and this one is by far the best. It's a beautiful facility filled with competent employees and management that genuinely cares about their staff and residents. The pay here is above average for the general area and the resident to staff ratio is the best I've ever seen. I'd not only recommend people I know to work here but I'd recommend people to have their loved ones live here.

I have worked at Clearbrook Inn for about 13 years and have ventured to other facilities but have always come back. No other place compares. Its like a second family. A great sense of community is felt when you are here. You can tell that your co-workers genuinely  care for your well-being. Everyone I have met here is friendly and welcoming. It's one of those places where you enjoy showing up to work. 

Aleca Home Health in WA is a wonderful workplace. The team is kind, helpful, and energetic. I have learned from and cooperated well with administration, clinicians, and office staff. I am impressed with the team's helpful and effective communication skills. Administration places importance on the employees as well as the patients. Home health has presented me a motivating challenge. My favorite part of the job is the feeling of accomplishing a task that makes one of my coworkers' days a little smoother.
