Copperfield Hill

Back when I worked there a couple of years ago, new hires earned more than the workers that have been working there for years. After working there for a while, the rest of my department eventually got raises and earned the same as the new hires, except for me. I was always paid slightly less ever since I got there. When I finally asked for a raise to match everyone else, a coworker was almost fired for "discussing wages" with me. That was my final straw to quit. Leading up to that, I noticed we (and other departments) were always severely understaffed. The management was overall very corrupt and prioritized money over anything else. The company just wasn't run good in general. It got to the point where I dreaded coming in to work every day because I knew there was going to be some huge problem that day. I met some amazing coworkers and the residents were always kind to me, but that isn't enough if I'm underpaid and overworked. The whole experience took a huge toll on my mental health.

Long story short, this place is awful. Without getting too into the details I’d just like to give a fair warning to anyone who applies and or ends up working here. The employers do not care, my first two days not once was I able to meet or come in contact with someone who could help guide me in the right direction as a new hire. I tried reaching out to multiple people and got rude, aggressive responses from the culinary director when asking about what days and hours I was supposed to be coming in for training. Usually a company and employer will set you up to succeed and excel, and give you proper training. But that just wasn’t Ethel case here at Copperfield. I felt extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable during my time working here and I advise that everyone who does want to work here strongly reconsiders their decision. 

The management here is horrible. They talk down to you, they snap at you, they disrespect you, they never offer positive feedback. They play the blame game, and it's never their fault. They have poor communication, use outdated systems, and mirco manage. They discriminate against their employees. If you are not a department head, you are treated as though you are less than, and they make it clear that you are disposable. Being a work place that deals in health care, they have several Hippa Law violations. They do not value your opinions, or your work. This is felt from not only the executive director and managers directly below him but also the owners of Copperfield Hill. If you want to be treated badly, always feel like you are walking on eggshells, and be spoken to as if you're a child, then CH is the place for you! Please for your peace of mind and well being, DO NOT WORK HERE.

Should've been red flags when hired on the spot. I was thrown onto the floor with one other CNA (I was an aide) and 14-18 patients. Additionally, the dementia ward kitchen was very smelly/clogged/had mildew in the sink. Was very overwhelming and not given any proper hands on training on my first day. There was no time for a proper break due to being extremely outnumbered by residents. Couldn't have been safe or given proper care due to focusing on the basics such as getting everyone up and feeding. This is obviously a poor management issue. The workers on the floor did an amazing job with what we were dealt with. Also, roaches. Seen roaches in the residents rooms. Anyone working in a facility like this deserves way more than  $17/hr.

I have worked there for over 7 years, seen a lot of nurses come and go, as well as good RCA'S. You have to really enjoy nursing and making a difference in the lives of the resident and family member to work at this facility. There are good caring and compassionate staff and ones that want to work and do there job well. The pay is not the best neither the insurance, so not the best incentive for staff to come and stay, when you can make 2 or 3.00 more an hour somewhere else, so staff turn over is constant and the work load can be very heavy at times.

The most enjoyable part of working at Copperfield was working with the residents and helping to solve their problems and make their days better. I enjoyed working at Copperfield and felt the workplace culture was generally positive. I did not have any negative experiences with management and felt like my voice was heard. A family owned business, the owners are very involved and amazing. I would recommend to anyone looking to build a career to check out Copperfield.

I had a great supervisor who let me establish and create my own program. I started the memory care program and that was a reward. I have a degree in social work and music and provided music therapy. The whole experience was wonderful until they brought in new management and was going to cut my position. That was not good.

Copperfield was a better place until they hired a snotty RN for the Lodge memory Care unit this year. She wears pounds of make up and have an attitude with you when she didn't have time to put any on before she rushes to work.

There is no room for advancement and they do not provide the proper training. They are too quick to make change and don't think it through - thus hindering any real advancement for their company. You are disposable to them, and loyalty is not honored here. Management is the worse I've ever experienced. The company has a bad reputation and it's for good reason - listen to what you hear in the public.
