Casa Bonita Convalescent Hospital

There is so much negativity and complaining amongst all levels of staff. Management to dietary. They all walk the halls complaining about each other. When I asked why the employees stayed if they were so miserable several told me that they stayed because they weren't being drug tested, and they didn't think they would be able to get a job elsewhere. 

Rather than using first names when referring to LVNs and RNs of other shifts descriptive foul language is used. 

RNs and LVNs speak freely of the Director of Nurses’ anger issues and how the DON making the staff cry is a right of passage in this facility. 

There is more gossip exchanged during change of shift than there is patient information. 

My whole experience as an employee here was discouraging and disappointing. I have never worked in a place where the CNAs are the most professional part of the floor team. 

I would not recommend this toxic environment to anyone. 


During the interview, they tell you that you will be working in sub acute, but it is actually a scam and you will be in snf forever.  SNF and sub acute are two different worlds. Many nurses in SNF will call you babe but in fact small groups will only talk about you behind your back or in front of you speak in Spanish. No one actually help，no support. 4/2 schedule? Impossible. One day off in three days and two days off in five days. The schedule is a mess. The DON will reject your off request. Toxic culture, two meetings during shift. stay away from this place. The sub acute floor is good, whether it is RN, LVN, CNA, everyone is a team and will help each other, but everyone is lining up to go to sub acute，so new nurse  have no chance. There is not enough parking space, you have to park at the church next to it.

Typical day is getting report from nurses making rounds starting med pass, DON and assistant DON can make working there very stressful. DON will make you work in sub acute when they are short staffed , she will make you work 5 days in a row with 1 day off not even asking you if that’s something you can do (we get hired on a 4/2 schedule, but some months it’s everything but that) DON will refuse your call off if she doesn’t have anyone to cover your shift, she has no empathy at all .. co workers for the most part are very nice and helpful they can seem intimidating at first but once they see that you’re a good worker they all open up to you , great experience for a new grad but would not recommend staying there long 

What is the best part of working at the company?
A few good nurses, but way to much drama.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nursing staff was not professional.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and very stressful.  You will come to work stressed and leave stressed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
High anxiety and filled with stress.  Let’s also talk about how they are still pushing wearing mask.

Staff and management are very helpful to each other. When you have more emergency that your not expecting every body is running to help to save residents. When your getting sad news that your long time patient died in acute hospital for complication after couple of days of transferring them. I love  and enjoyed working with them every day for almost years in the company.

You’ll learn a lot if it’s your first job as a nurse. Sometimes when they don’t have the staff, the DON will have you cover subacute or SNF, or treatment. At that time it was paper charting only.  Not enough CNA’s so cnas are overworked and LVN’s have to not only do their job with med pass,  but also patient care in subacute.  But it can be disorganized. DON expects you to find replacement to cover your shift if you need the day off or call off due to sickness or emergency or for personal reasons. Low pay. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The kitchen crew was the BEST I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH TRAINED ME AWSOME AND TREATED ME LIKE FAMILY 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Double shifts more than 3 times a week

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
IT WAS GREAT VERY COMFORTABLE 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
None stop busy but easy going and family like

It was great ! Everyday helping , supervising Residents for safety , serving coffee , playing games , arts and crafts , reading to them , playing music , lots of laughter , most importantly listening to the residents, giving full attention to their needs . I learned to be patient and compassionate at all times , giving my very best .

Management handles well all kind of situations. They appreciate their entire staff by many different ways. Works with your availability.Nice ppl and place to work with. Even though its quite far from my home but i prefer to keep working here. Motivated me for further studies and work with my school schedule.

Helpful co-workers. Has both subacute and SNF, which is nice if you want a change of pace. Weird conditions to benefits, can’t use PTO until after 15 months. DON will schedule you 5+ days in a row. Will send threatening texts on your day off. A lot of favoritism observed. Residents are nice.
