Claiborne Senior Living

This job has to be the worst job i have ever had in my life. The management sucks. the current company that took over is 100% horrible. They have their picks and chooses. In a professional job setting you’re not supposed to have favorites. the favoritism in this building is horrible. former executive director of the building was giving bonuses to a employee that did not deserve it! just because she liked her more than the other employees.. there was always shifts available to pick up and that particular employee never picked up a shift meanwhile it have other employees coming in working doubles working & 18 days straight sometime and was not getting those type of bonuses. that is completely UNFAIR.. regional management nor office management of the building care about making the residents happy. they just want everything to go their way without seeing how other people feel about it. theirs mold in the building office managers and regional managers are not trying to do anything about it. all they worry about is minor dress code issues when their is way more important problems in that building! The regional executive director and the regional nurse are completely rude! they do not care about their employees at all. and of course you’re underpaid and when something is said about getting a raise (after being there for 3 years) they catch an attitude and talk to you like your a piece of gum under their shoe. they put on this act like they are so nice and care so much about you when you first meet them but after the true colors come out. they lie to you about scheduling. i do not recommend working at this place at all. it’s not worth the mental stress!!!!!

The best thing I can honestly say about The Claiborne at Adelaide (managed by Blake Management Group) is the residents. I grew to love each of them & they were my reason for staying as long as I did. This facility is currently on their 5th E.D., 6th D.O.W., 3rd D.B.O, 4th D.O.S. & 5th D.O.A. The sad part is that the facility has only been open for 4.5 years. The turnover listed above is within the administration department. The turnover with staff is an entirely different story. It’s rare that any employee stays over 5 months. They will literally hire anyone that comes through the door as long as they can pass a background check, drug screen and verbally agree to work any shift. The new hires aren’t properly trained and the few staff that are seasoned are absolutely burnt out from constantly working without any form of appreciation. There’s a severe lack of respect between administration and staff. They expect for you to allow them to verbally mishandle you but when you speak up for yourself you’re labeled as having an attitude problem. Administration doesn’t take complaints seriously if it comes from staff. They ignore vital information that’s given to them regarding resident care until it’s too late. The building is beautiful but leadership is toxic. Although I was employed there for quite some time I wouldn’t recommend anyone becoming employed by this company unless you’re a pushover, have low self esteem or you’re completely desperate. Stay away!

● Work-life balance
Work-life balance at The Claiborne at Thibodaux isn’t good. They will put EVERYTHING on one person and allow others to sit around and do nothing.

● Pay & benefits
Pay is very low for the job and no benefits.

● Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at The Claiborne at Thibodaux, I think there’s no security. It’s all about playing favorites. When I first started I excelled. I was more efficient than the other cooks and was told I was being promoted and going to be given a raise. It was all talk. So unprofessional.

● Management
In general, managers at The Claiborne at Thibodaux shouldn’t be managers of an assisted living. They have no idea what they are doing and do not care about the residents at all.

● Overall
My experience working at The Claiborne at Thibodaux was horrendous. I would have to cook for 50+ twice a day with no help. No breaks. Constantly being told I do not do enough. Bad pay. Zero benefits. No appreciation for hard work. Residents were served cheap food that is rotten or going bad. During the pandemic the owners gave us next to nothing extra and then literally sent out a letter telling us we should be thankful they even did anything and bragged about giving us stuff that the employees never even got. Staff meetings every month were filled with the same petty stuff and the director would start more drama than a high school girl and then threaten to fire all of us at the meetings because of the drama.

Clearly the most difficult part of the job is keeping every one pleased. What satisfies many may dissatisfy one. It is a challenge to find a happy medium at times.
Getting to know the residents/family members is a huge satisfaction for all staff. 
The culture of the community can be challenging. This is where staying connected with your staff comes in to play. There has to be cohesion amongst all. Again, one dissatisfied employee can spread like a cancer throughout your community. 
In my 5 years with CSL, I learned a great deal about the business aspect, people in general and adaptations that must be made almost on a daily basis in order to run a sufficient business. 
Top management has always been top-notch. Regional leaders have had bumpy roads which leads to inefficient practice in his/her communities. Recent  changes with Regional leaders is hopefully the answer to getting things back on track as it was prior to October 2022.

I was able to advance to a more challenging position at The Preserve at Meridian five months after beginning my employment.  As the Community Relations Director, I am able to have contact with prospective residents and their families, current residents and their families, and team members.  I can honestly say it is a family type environment where people love and care for each other.   Additionally, the corporate support is phenomenal!  Being new to the position they took the time to invest in me with training and support.   Every position is hard and challenging at times, but the benefits of forming those personal relationships make it well worth it.  Every job should have an element of "work", but when it is rewarding, and you see the difference you make in people's lives, it makes the "work" less of a job.

In my 30 years of being in the medical field, this is the first company that puts their employees first. Each community provides detailed training to each employee during their orientation, monthly at staff meetings and online trainings.
Employees receive 1 free meal per shift worked daily.  Employee appreciation is based on resident, family and co-worker's comments on the Above and Beyond Recognition Program monthly.  Team members can grow with the company by applying to open positions within their community.  I love seeing the teams interact with the residents and families, they seem to thoroughly enjoy being at work.  If you want to work with great people, apply at a Claiborne near you!

Very unsteady work environment. I've seen the cycle of good people brought in and once we get used to them corporate decides to let them go or they run them off.    This is across ALL the communities, in ALL level positions...the CLAIBORNE CANNOT keep staff.  Sometimes several people each month.  It's been going downhill for several years and gotten even worse.  If you're looking for something stable and long-term, think twice before wasting your time here. It's not fun working here anymore.  There are TOO MANY chiefs ... that poorly communicate. This company is seriously ALL over the place. They call it a community but it's FAR from that....the lack of transparency and clear direction creates uncertainty every single day.
