management is sneaky and disrespectful behind your back. what was once a great place to work has turned into a repeat of high school for adults. the best employees were smart and have already left. breath wrong and you'll find yourself in trouble for it and it will be gossiped about and with management for days. some of the nurses need to remember why they became nurses in the first place. never will I send my family or recommend friends to this facility after their downfalls. oh but the Christmas trees were pretty last year, cannot fail to mention that! the chicken coops are unsightly and have an awful stench, a common question as to why there are chickens at a nursing home. I wish this center was better patient care based but it clearly is more about the physical appearance of the building and which member of management can be the bigger bully. you'll ask why we stay or how they still have employees. because the new president makes endless promises with hopes of a "better tomorrow". and luckily the residents are worth it. but don't worry there is always OT because no one ever wants to come to work and 9 times out of 10 are always short.

There isn’t a day that I’m not given the opportunity to make a difference & that my efforts aren’t appreciated at Elim Park. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Elim as well as many other nursing centers, faced many challenges. The way that staff came together & management stepped in to do any & everything that was needed to take the very best care of our patients & of each other, will always stick out in my mind & make me profoundly proud to be apart of the Elim Park team. Despite the challenges & demands of healthcare, Elim is a place you can come to work where the positive outweighs the negative, where you are surrounded by an amazing team of people who care and are committed to doing what’s best for our residents & for each other. In my opinion, Elim has and always will stand out as one of the best nursing facilities in CT. 

Working with the elderly has been an amazing, never dull, and very rewarding experience. I will sometimes spend 14 hours a day there working multiple shifts and still am eager to go back the next day. They have taught me many life lessons that have changed my outlook on life. A typical day at work would depend on which department I am working in that day, I work in a few there. Sometimes I am on the health care side, people who need 24 hour care, I make sure they are fed and satisfied with their meals and then play games with those who are able. If I am on the independent living side, I serve them a full fine-dining, five star, three course meal and then clean up and reset for the next day. Other days I do office work, working at the front information desk answering calls and questions anyone might call with or walk up to me and ask. And some days I work in the kitchen with the chefs making sure all the food is made and plated correctly in order to be taken to the tables.

Very immature environment and it’s that way because management enables it. It actually mostly comes from management itself. Nobody’s safe. Plays favorites far too much. It’s a very toxic environment that’ll break you down if you let it. They let patients (those who are aware of it) abuse you because the “customer is always right”. We had a patient who would clearly lie and try to get CNAs in trouble both with our workplace and the state and instead of addressing the patient bad behavior, they wrote us up. I had to leave because I worked too hard for my license to let this facility make me lose it. Nobody stays there for too long and if they do, they have already been there for almost a decade before it became horrible and they’re just comfortable. Like the title says, get your experience (and money) and RUN TO A BETTER FACILITY.

What is the best part of working at the company?
chickens and the dog are cool. management wasn’t great. i cross contaminated against my will between the covid unit and other wings. due to employee ratio i was given no choice. then my daughter had covid i quit because my supervisor told me, and i quote, if im a single mother, i need to figure it out. not a very great place to work. they have no sympathy or compassion. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
sadly they do not care about their employees and make it very much known. i’d never work there again. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
nurses were great and staffing is alright. the aides seem to gang up because there’s a high possibility you will not stick around 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
heavy load. kinda seems like a hospital

When I get to work it always feels like I hit the ground running, it is very busy, management gives us more and more to do and never helps, they just sit in their offices and order people around, give us more work and responsibilities and never even don a glove to help out.  The place is top heavy, with too many people in management, with too many opinions about how things should be run or do not know anything at all, but never help.  Instead of setting an example for all the employees, they just sit and order people around.  The hardest part of the job is dealing with management, we feel that we do not get enough support, and they are not good with communicating things either.  They make us work on call on our weekends off, yet they do not work on call at all, they should set an example so that morale is high, right now morale is at an all time low. The best part is seeing your patient smile because you helped them.

Work the night shift regularly. Have worked all three shifts as a cna. Most of the staff is great and fun to work with.  The environment is not stressful. However their is one supervisor on the night shift who gets away with constant harrasment of employees and nothin is done about it.  Many cnas complain. Management does not care or even bothers to look into it.  Aside from that one supervisor that you should avoid it’s amazing place. Very clean, workload is not bad if you’re working the long term care unit. Rehab is too intense and way to stressful. Even on the nurses. 
Overall i definately reccomend this place. The new ceo is a good guy. New director of nursing is great too. And again the pay is amazing.

Its like any other facility, the workload is average, the benefits are average.
The Pay is not as good as i would like it to be.
Its not a bad place to work at. 

Management is absolutely horrible.

They do not look out for there CNA's, or Nurses. At times we are over worked, because we are working short. They no longer call agencies to fill in, which is starting to take a toll on the Aides. Its obvious that some people are very tired of working there already. 

There are a ton of shady things that go on behind the scenes when it comes to management.  This facility could benefit from a UNION, to help protect the employees from unfair management. 

Call out policy is, very strict.

Elim Park is a great place to work.  The work is very hard but rewarding.  I love the residents. The pay is not great and it could be better.  The facility is beautiful and the management in the nursing home is very good. Management is involved on the floors and they care about us and our needs. The administrator is excellent and cares deeply for both the staff and the residents.  The DNS is also very supportive toward the staff and is very easy to go to with problems.  It is a very supportive, caring environment.  The hardest part of the job is the daily physical demands.  I strongly disagree with some of the prior reviews and I would highly recommend Elim Park for anyone seeking a great place to work.

I enjoy working at Elim Park. 

The three reviews below are from one disgruntled HVAC employee who doesn't work here anymore. 
It's amazing what some people will do to spread their hateful thoughts. Move on!!  

Elim has a Starbucks on campus, brick oven pizzas can be purchased for lunch, a market - (to pick up essentials, snacks, gifts, or even a rotisserie chicken), a pool and gym for the employees to enjoy, and underground parking to keep you car safe from the elements!  Great perks.

My experience is that the managers are kind and most people are great to work with!

If you like working with the elder population, you will love working at the beautiful Elim Park!
