Eastern Star Home

Lazy, ignorant and overall poor management, I say this for many reasons learned while employed with Eastern star, mainly managements willingness to leave residents in mold filled, degrading rooms with leaky pipes, a 20 year out of date fire suppression system which cannot pass testing without using a bypass method. All due to neglect of managment for the past 20 years all the while, the operational cost /annual profit ratio has done nothing but nose dive since mistakenly opening their doors.

This was a nursing home and I worked midnight shift. We checked on residents every 2 hours and changed the their pads on their beds and turned the ones who couldn't do it themselves. I answered call lights and helped if they were in distress. In the morning we would get them washed up and dressed, teeth brushed, hair combed and in wheelchairs, ready to go for breakfast.
   I've learned all people are important.
   I worked close with another CNA and an RN. We were a great team.
   Using the lift to get residence in and out of wheelchairs.
   The most enjoyable was knowing I was helping others.

Working at ESH taught me so much about work productivity. I also learned so much from my coworkers and the residents I worked with. Management was very understanding of balancing work and play/school. A typical day would be filled with various goals for me to reach, it was very active. The hardest part of my job was the mental toll it took on me on certain days. The best part was seeing my residents happy.

Don’t bother the pay is horrible and you are always 
Working short. Management pick and choose who them reprimand. Don’t listen to their but take the word of intermin employees. And turn on their staff!

Don’t work here. They work you too death with low pay but agency Med Techs make $6 more dollars than nurses. And management doesn’t care and will not get you more money. They will ask you to work over and come in all the time. 

There is no room for growth, no matter how good of an employee you are you will never get a raise. Therefor, you will always get paid the same amount as someone fresh off the streets, someone who is late or calls in often, someone who is lazy, etc. it’s very easy to become stagnant there. For the most part, my coworkers were ok. I used to feel that management really cared and showed they appreciated what I did. But after so long with no raise, they couldn’t care like I thought in the beginning.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love the residents that live there 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Activity director was the worst in management was terrible because they were never around and you can never talk to them

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 Too many boyfriend and girlfriends that work on the same job getting jealous of any employee that comes in thinking someone wants who they're with

Helping with resident's daily hygiene and personal care. I learned to treat your residents as if they were family members. Management is accommodating to their staff when necessary. The hardest part of the job is forming bonds with the elderly before they pass on, as it is also rewarding at the same time. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing someone's family trusts their loved one in your care.

There is no disaplin or structure at this place! I don't recommend working there unless you don't respect yourself. Or if you would have to be desperate and it's just a temporary job. It should only take a day for that to sink in. Good luck and God speed

Stay clear of this place.  Management doesn't care.   Lots of back stabbing and no communication.  Cold food and average nursing care.  The kitchen staff actually has a note posted to appreciate your food because some go with out.  Wow!!
At least the place is clean.   I thought this place would be better than the other homes around.  It isn't!

I really enjoyed woeking there , I've been there on and off for 15 years. Good place to work most of the time. There's alot of call ins and I think they shouldn't have stopped paying us for holidays if we are off, we have always been paid for holidays even if we were scheduled off.
