Arbor Acres

My typical day at work is very busy, it consists of answering the phones transfering calls setting up doctor's appointments,labs,charting;mailing orders to physcians of residents whom have out side doctors and to refered specialist. distributing nutrients on three floors, ordering  medical supplies as well and nutrients. handling Long Term Insurance, Certs., inituating  new claims. I also deliver mail to various personal and residents.comunicate concerns from my Nurse manager to Nursing assistant through the pager system. i assist the residents in many areas. I'm in constant touch with different department managers throung out the facility so i'v learned to be very flexable doing what's needed in any area. I have many co-workers in which i work well with because i'm a team player, the hardest part of my job is losing a resident thorouh death. and the most enjoyable part is i enjoy making the residents smile and knowing i've doing all to accomplish the duties and resposibilities i have.

working for Arbor Acres was a very fulfilling experience but like any job it has its and ups and downs.I learned how to work better with different people and different backgrounds and cultures and it was not always easy. In my opinion the management wasnt good at all and they didnt know how to manage and run the establishment effectively.As for workplace culture i really enjoyed how there was almost always a filling of positivity in the workplace atmosphere.The hardest part of my job was trying to adjust with all the different rules being put into place everyday. New rules were being put into place almost three to four times a week every week and they were beginning to run into one another and sometimes it was very strenuous on oneself.The best part about working at Arbor Acres was the fact that i got the chance to bulid bonds with both residents and families. Overall i would definitely recommend Arbor Acres to another person

I love working in this community. There are always employee activities planned and the benefits are hard to beat. The hardest part of my job is no advancement opportunity, but that doesn't stop me from learning from all my co-workers, manager, and of course the residents who have so much knowledge to share. With hundreds of employees, there are going to be some people with selfish motives or simply don't like the field they chose to work in (no benefits package or Christmas bonus can change that!). Most people here are in it for the right reasons and it shows. They survey employees each year about how they can improve. Some  managers are not natural-born leaders, but human resources is doing monthly trainings with every manager at Arbor Acres to help them grow professionally. The CEO is always open to ideas and wouldn't blink twice if a housekeeper or nurse knocked on his door. 

You have multiple “managers “ above you who never know what is going on. They constantly are understaffed and the pay is horrible especially for a private pay facility who charge residents thousands of dollars a month. You only get one holiday pay which is Christmas if you work it. Your suppose to get free meals when you work but only for first shift, second and third don’t get food. Their ChristmasBonuses that they get residents to give money for only small amount goes to staff the rest is given to managers. You get told you’re not allowed but to work so many hours on all positions full time and part time but then your yelled at for not picking up even though they don’t pay overtime. Full time employees can only have two absences a year even if you have a doctors note. Part time employees can only have 1 absence after that you get terminated. 

Definitely will put you to work. Just being in the kitchen I have so many things to do.
I've learned helping my fellow coworkers out and learning new areas of the kitchen.
Management has changed a lot since I've been there. Big changes is really all I can say.
Coworkers can from ALL walks of life. Some you like to work with and get along easy with...then others that make you wonder why they're even working in the first place...as if they hate life. I try my best to avoid negative energy/people cause it can bring you down.
Hardest part of the job can be too much multi tasking and can sometimes put you behind.
Enjoyable part of the job is being around coworkers that make working there worthwhile.

Arbor Acres is a good place to work. There is room for advancement. I enjoyed meeting the residents and learning about their careers and contributions to society. I learned about management. Senior level managers manage employees effectively and ensure patients needs are met. I learned about relationship building and effective listening. Overall, I really enjoyed speaking with the CEO. He was very nice and has a lot of knowledge about healthcare. I especially enjoyed his alignment and application of authors, life experiences, and healthcare.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The patient acuity/ratio management for nurses, as well as the benefits and pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being expected to pick up slack made by other workers either from work not being done on the previous shift or someone calling out increasing your patient load. This was tolerated more often than not.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
For the most part, people enjoy the workplace and the patients. Management and providers are   Involved. Patient ratios and acuity are well managed.

I resigned from Arbor Acres because the work culture was political and
run by a few in management who were only working to make themselves look good to the Board of Directors.  They did not care about the workers nor did they care about the residents, they only cared about themselves and money.  It was the most uncaring place I have ever worked.  I saw staff members mistreated over and over.  I went to work many days feeling sick because of the way people were treated by management.  They do not care about people and they certainly do not represent the United Methodist Church.

Arbor Acres was a relaxed work environment that helped provide communication skills, 101 life skills & serving skills of those just like in a normal restaurant. The managers made sure that work was properly everyday and were very helpful in the approach as well. As far as the work itself, nothing was honestly hard at all. The work was easy but what made you want to come back everyday was the loving elderly people that felt like family & atmosphere. Hardest part was leaving them at the end of the shift if anything!  Those people made my job everything.

The “community” is a very beautiful place. The residents are wonderful. However the management can’t keep staff, so many open shifts and not enough staff to cover. Management is unappreciative and unprofessional. They don’t follow their own policies when it comes to coaching employees. Either you “fit” or you don’t. If you don’t do everything you’re asked, you can hang it up. The pay for experience is not up to standards with other companies in the area. Save yourself the time and effort and look elsewhere!!!
