Asbury-Heights

This place has unrealistic expectations ! The administrator is very unprofessional she curses at the nurses station and is quick to say another person is using inappropriate language! The only time management is concerned with the treatment of the residents is during survey time! If a resident is a little more challenging than others they will try to quickly move them to their lock down unit especially if they are trying to make a room available for a new admit! Any person of non color can make an accusation towards a person of color and the person of color will be suspended or terminated  immediately! They set rules and do not enforce them! Slackers are rewarded and hard workers are ignored ! The pay is horrible as well as the benefits. The benefits are unaffordable and after you use 1,000 dollars in dental you are done for the year! Employee parking is horrible! Good luck with finding parking if your shift begins at 2:30. The Director of Nursing is not only a narcissis but a racist as well!!!  The place needs to be unionized because it is very unfair and they change their policy every time the wind blows! The place is going down hill fast, nurses and nursing assistants are overworked ,underpaid and there is no incentives for working understaffed.Resident and family member concerns are ignored and if family members brreaddress a concern they are labeled as crazy or problematic and ridiculed by the DON  and some staff! The only thing I miss about working there is a few co workers and residents !

I believe that Asbury paints itself as the best of the best, innovators, and the most caring facility in the area. How convenient for sale and marketing! And for prospect employees! I truly thought coming to Asbury would change my career for the better. But unfortunately how Asbury shows itself to the public and prospective money, I'm sorry, prospective residents...is not how it is behind the scenes. 

The Health Center has very poor management & administration, seemingly not qualified, aloof, disrespectful and SO unprofessional. And that changes how everyone else on those units acts; nursing, housekeeping, activities and the residents. And I never worked at a facility that has this bad of an issues with gossiping. Wow! Co-worker A would say bad things about co-worker B, and vice versa, then I would see the two laughing and saying how good of friends they are! Just such unsettling behavior and you see it everywhere. All those fake smiles and shmoozy side comments..makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. 

On the brighter side, I believe that the Personal Care venues are starting to 'get it'. I see PAC training used more there, resident behaviors are somewhat controlled, and it just feels brighter and content there. The second I walk into HC, you can just feel the negativity. It's very draining and saddening, especially when I worked there. It's one of those feelings tat you take home with you, even after your shift has ended. 

I am lucky and happy to have left the Health Center and I'm much more content where I am now.

A typical day working at this company I was used each day contributing my time and effort on my work as well as others. Their where issues with getting a full forty hour schedule in the kitchen department, so the only way I could get close to forty hours I had to volunteer as a environmental cleaner only for the kitchen. The staff and supervisors didn't know how to clean the deep fryers, stove and barely knew how to clean the dish machine until I showed them the proper way. To make a long story short they don't know the way around the kitchen and every one was cutting corners looking for an easier route to make the kitchen look clean every night.
With all that bad stuff said I enjoyed the conversation with the elderly patients and I hope for the best for them.

From the very first day I realized how terribly managed this company truely was. This was my first nursing job out of school and I was trained 2 shifts then on my own yet criticized every time I questioned anything pertaining to my responsibilities and policies. The "DON" did nothing but gossip about every single employee to other employees VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. This facility has the potential to be a great place to work if they would hire the right management and not a group of unintelligent morons. The pay is extremely low and you are treated like garbage. They look for every reason to fire you if they decide they don't like you for whatever reason and I do  believe they are racists and single certain employees out to write up and terminate.

You are not given any training,just expected to know how to do your job,expectations are unacheivable,short staffed,high turnover rate,written up for things you weren't told about. I was the wound care nurse and was given an office but no training,suspended for writing an order for barrier cream,when I was writing it for months,responsible for every scratch,preventing skin tears in elderly,responsible for making sure all boots were removed,expected to be on call one weekend a month without compensation,not allowed to order dressings without management checking all prices. It made no sense to see vendors, I couldn't use their products. Expected to see all residents everywhere on campus,no overtime allowed without a major reason.

Asbury Heights is everything that is written about it, is an uncaring place, and they lie quite abit, to their employees.  If you should go down to the administration, heaven help you, because they do nothing about it.  It is such a disappointment to see this going on , especially in the health center, let alone going upstairs to the perso nal care floor, where there is no sense of Professionalism.  Residents are treated very poorly, and always neglected for long periods of time, and the residents are the victims.    It's a shame that families are wanting good care, and they don't receive it most of the time.  Their aides and med-techs are too busy doing other things, which are not part of their jobs.

Asbury has provided opportunity not only to me but to others in the organization who are interested in going to school, learning new information or career advancement.  Understanding when going to school and assist in making schedule changes so you can work and go to school.  Tuition reimbursement is available!  


Staff are nice overall and care for the residents.  If you talk with management when you have concerns or problems, they will try to help.  

Best part of the day is working with the residents!  Staffing ratios are high so you get more time with residents.

Administraton/Management is young, green, unqualified to lead and not mediclly trained to make nursing decisions. 
 CNA's are unprofessional and  verbally abusive to Staff as well as to residents.  
Administration is partial and adjusts policies to each employee. 
I truly regret ever accepting full time employment here.  
The residents were wonderful.. and deserve so much more. 
 Their activities were adequate but needed 
some development and more mature leadership.

Asbury Heights was a wonderful place to be employed. I worked all of the nursing units. Learned many skills at Asbury. Management was wonderful. I have always worked full time, the company worked with my schedule. Progressed in the company to the charge nurse position on a skilled unit, again learning many more skills. I would be the nursing center supervisor when needed, supervising the other nurses and nursing assistants.  I also learned valuable communication and customer service skills.

I found that convincing the elderly to use their life savings to "buy but not own" a home at Asbury was morally difficult. I understood the business, and the longer I was employed there, the less I believed in the product.  However, I enjoyed meeting the families, giving tours and designing brochures.
