Autumn Care

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Autumn Care is  horrible,  yeah you can get as many hours as possible. Because  no one wants to come there.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Autumn Care are  decent. Bonuses  are only under $25 per shift. You'll be lucky if you see that money tho.

Management
In general, managers at Autumn Care  the worse. Someone got a taste of power, they will throw  you under the bus for their own sake, for a small job they could of done themselves  while the aids are busy. " everyone's  residents " aperantly  doesn't apply to nurses, even worse when short  staffed, with two aids for 45+ people who are mostly bed bound  but expect the  job to be done as if full 4-5 people staffed.  Managment/ supervisors  will go after you like they don't care about their clients, and willing to have them be neglected, because  so short staffed.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Autumn Care is  okay, most dont know what team work is, or expect  for you to help them and do most of their job anyway.

Overall
My experience working at Autumn Care  worse place I've ever been at. Been through alot of different  facilities, this by far the worse.

New employees are not properly trained or supported. The facility is severely understaffed, resulting in staff being overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid. The patient-to-CNA ratio is very high. It was said to be up to 10 patients, but it was 18.

No formal orientation. You're just another number at this facility. Neither the administrator/director of nursing introduced themselves to new employees. The training primarily involves shadowing aides who are already overburdened w/residents. Because staff are so busy charting and trying to keep up with their assignments, it was very difficult to ask questions or receive proper guidance. 

Overall, new CNAs are thrown into the job without adequate preparation on how the different units function or how the workflow is supposed to go. This creates a frustrating and stressful environment, especially if you are new to the field. 



I was hired as ADON. Was never introduced to a single person. No onboarding or computer software training provided for the level of expertise needed for my role. Executive Director is all about the numbers and doesn't care about employees or residents. The building is full of mold and the people are management team is toxic and back stabbing. LPN unit managers smoke about three packs a day on company time. This is at best theft of service, not to mention such a poor example of what health is. In the management role you need to take call and this will involve working 18 to 20 hours! It's not humanly possible to do this at any age. It made me physically ill. After getting sick, I was let go, yes, fired. Then their short term disability is denying my claim because they wouldn't fill out paperwork. Denied unemployment while trying to secure a better spot. Just take my word. Don't do this to yourself.  RUN.....fast.

ACOM is a small LTC and skilled nursing facility at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountain. While the entire nation faces a shortage of nursing staff, the staff at this facility are dedicated and really do care about the people they serve. Cooperative, collaborative, polite, this is a place where a coworker will always give you a hand, teach you, support you. From the kitchen, to the floor and in the back offices, the employees strive to work together to deliver good care. With pride over what they do. All the challenges in this sector of healthcare exist, but at ACOM, there really is a team effort. Management wants you to succeed. Your nursing team members are your friends. Kitchen wants to nourish. Rehab gets people on their feet again. All looking out for the residents who are like family. 

Management is horrible.  
NO teamwork.  Employees stay on their cell phones, depending on who you are (family member or in their click) nothing will be said! 
Poor residents don’t get showers as scheduled or some at all for weeks at a times 
Seen some the residents that can not feed themselves get fed. 
Rules-apply  to some employees and not to others. 
Favoritism shown due to ALOT of family members working together. Scheduler is one of said family members, her family gets EXACT dates, times and halls they want to work. 
You don’t clock out for lunches or breaks, so you can not prove that you hardly get lunches or breaks.
Work halls by yourself due to being understaffed. Will have 15-27 patients to care for by yourself most days! 
RUN TO A DIFFERENT JOB…. 


A typical day in a nursing home on first shift, you have 8-10 people you have to get up and bathe and get ready for breakfast by 9a (I think).  You have to get yourself into a pace that is hard to set when you do not have the same people every day.  I was not used to this and could not get a pace set.  I did not make it.  I learned that I love caring for people but not working in a nursing home because it is too much.  There are not enough workers to take care of the patients.  The hardest part was finding someone to help when you needed/had to have an extra hand.  The most enjoyable part was meeting some of the sweetest patients. Workplace culture: some of the higher ranked people didn't think they needed to help.  Some of the people on my level were sweet but busy with their own patients.  It was just too much going on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your coworkers, great health insurance 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management, the CNA to patient ratio is unsafe. The Administration is more concerned with a tight budget, then Resident quality of life, or keeping the staff that really care. They let Agency Nurses run the show.

Stressful , unappreciated. They make a lot of the rules as they go along, and some rules are ignored for some, and enforced for others.

Stressful , horrible , no help sometimes even when you ask for it . If they do help they get mad that they have to actually do something. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s horrible, the amount of residents that are given are never even.  If you’re not a part of their little kiss butt group you are screwed. They will look for any reason they can to get rid of you .

You don’t get holiday pay which is horrible because they give 3 weeks or something of vacation that won’t get approved for and you barely get pto .they (corporate)wanna keep money for themselves versus paying their employees holiday pay a few times out the year. It’s bs. The rate of things with today’s nursing shortage and low staffing it would be beneficial to be more competitive rather than not. Ppl will take travel contracts get holidays off and or get great holiday pay on top of the great pay. You’d be better off getting the experience here then leaving to get contracts with better benefits and flexibility forsure it’s not worth settling just because.
