What is the best part of working at the company?
The residents. I was able to form strong bonds and a good level of trust with my patients.  Caring for my residents was fulfilling.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No support from management. Broken equipment.  Management would invest in a marble lobby, new décor Entire floor renovations but not in working equipment that was needed daily.  1 working Hoyer lift for 3 patient care floors (150 census). One small ice machine for the entire building located in the kitchen for months during the summer. Broken elevators that would trap people inside them several times a week. Residents were moved into partially renovated rooms and were expected to allow the renovation be completed with them in the room.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Workers are very stressed, it is challenging to find someone if you need help because all of the staff feels like well it isn't my resident or I already was in that room...  management does not care to improve the climate. The position of Director of Nursing is a revolving door.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Non stop Medication Pass. If I take a break for lunch I have to stay late to get my work done because there is no time to document during the regular shift. i unfortunately was one of the only people the residents felt would help them so I was constantly fielding their requests. Even if the resident was not part of my assignment.

A typical day at work total chaos. I don't think I have learned much, there is really no training and its basically you learn as you go. Management there  are a few that will work with you to succeed and you  have a few that sit there and let you fail. The work culture is hostile and you aren't appreciated. The hardest part of my job is making sure I get enough staff in the building without all the tools I need. I would say the most enjoyable part of my job is working with my DON and the Human resources director.

Of all the skilled nursing facilities l have been to l was most impressed with Aventura at Creekside. Located on a large, wooded lot in a quiet neighborhood, Creekside has a home-like atmosphere. The staff is skilled and caring, sensitive to the needs of family members as well as residents. The wonderful people at Creekside make a very difficult transition easier for new residents.

Unfortunately the company Aventura is very strict with their budgeting to at least the smaller buildings (I`ve only had experience with their smaller buildings). We are often unable to get the proper medical and wound care supplies as the orderer (who works where their HQ is out of state) WILL get the absolute cheapest option even if it is not right( Not an exaggeration ). Same with housekeeping supplies that help prevent infection spread and Maintenance supplies that may or may not be approved for purchase. All while the building is getting dragged by the 3rd party vendors saying they are not getting paid (like the lawn company or the shredder company)  

I would not recommend working for Aventura Health Group. When I was hired the administrator was great and the department heads were all a team. However, with the new administrator coming in there more of a concern for “heads in beds” than making sure there is enough staff to safely care for the residents. I understand it is a business but corporate is so disconnected and quick to put you down. Do not trust any of corporate. It appears that if you want to get promoted you push all of your work on someone else or just do half of it. 

As a current employee of Aventura, I can honestly say the building is always looking for ways to improve as a whole. If there is an issue, you can take it to managers without hesitation and they will be by your side and help resolve what may be wrong. Honestly it can be hectic sometimes there, but at the end of the day the pay off of knowing the residents are well cared for is worth it! The environment is so easy going and some of the absolute best managers work here. I love this place!

What is the best part of working at the company?
To be perfectly honest, there really is nothing good to say about this employer and their current management team.  Simply HORRIBLE!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The current management team and the ownership have no regard for the residents and/or the staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic place to work; constantly working short and with limited or no supplies.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, chaotic, very little communication and no clarity.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping residents with their needs
Meeting new people 
Learning about the health care industry 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of staff can make things difficult. The facility is older and can use some major upgrades. Administrator and Human Resource Director should be replaced. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Less diverse than usual. 
Over worked employees can create a stressful work environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Assising residents with meals

Worked here a few short months, 4 residents transferred to hospital with severe blood infections and ended up passing away at the hospital. The turnover in this facility is by far the worst in the industry for this area. Corporate is never around, emails go unanswered for days, sometimes up to a week with no response to immediate issues. The building currently has over 80 state and federal deficiency tags and is currently on a no- pay sanction from Medicare and Medicaid. This is not the place you want to work if you value your medical license. 

Facilty has become a dangerous place to work or reside. It’s all about the revenue brought in without any regard of actual staff availability and the means to care for these residents . 75% of staff have left within the last 3-5 months and the clinical team was left to fend for themselves. Corporate needs to invest in keeping this building running or find proper placement for the residents who currently reside there. Very let down at an opportunity that presented as too good to be true… which in reality it was definitely not true or good.
