EdenHill Communities

The most important part of working at Edenhill is continuing to work with the Geriatric Community, which is what I have always wanted and enjoyed. The residents at the rehabilitation unit come in at their most acute states and it’s a pleasure to work, educate , and assist them in getting better and stronger, so that they can leave the facility at a level that assists them in rejoining their families and their communities. The continued education is a vital part of any nurse education and Edenhill always maintained our ability to provide the best care possible especially in trying and challenging situations. The nurse managers were always present and assisted the nursing staff when further instruction was required. The friendly atmosphere made it easier to come into work and be prepared to tackle any challenges. The atmosphere is and remains with the attitude of teamwork. The CEO and administrator have always made themselves available when challenges appeared and always remained with an open door policy as to assist the staff.  Call bells are always answered in a timely manner from the housekeeping department up to the management department. 

In my experience there they allow your peers to be bullies. There was one specific coworker that constantly would leave belittling notes and have a nasty attitude towards almost everyone and when brought up to the supervisor the behavior was never correct. The supervisor wanted you to talk it out (which I can understand) but when someone is being nasty to everyone, more than 1 person is complaining about the same person, and the behavior continues then its up to management/HR to correct the issue which they never did. Management pretends to care, but doesn’t. I personally was dealing with a lot and along with being overworked and overwhelmed I started breaking down mentally. Along with allowing nasty behavior, the job had unrealistic expectations, their wanting to overwork people, and pay you an unlivable wage. I had to opt out of health insurance if I wanted to pay bills and I still could barely afford to live. Also, if asked to be a certified trainer through their program do not expect a permanent pay bump, the bonuses on the days you actually train are nice though it’s not much. So, do with this information what you will, but I wouldn’t recommend working here to my worst enemy unless they can get a salaried position. Personally if i could zero stars I would.

The hardest part about my job was the way that some days I felt as I was alone in dining tasks but the best part of my job was the fact that every day I showed up knowing that I had a plan and goal to reach and made each person there feel loved , I learned that no matter the age you will always need help and the residents always made me feel loved and taken care of . A typical day at work just depended on what side you were on when I was on the white staff side they started as food prep, getting desserts the salad bar ready doing the temp logs checking in the dining room seeing what was needed and then it was seeing if anything needs to be picked up in the dining room  and then if it was buffet day, we would open up the buffet line, put out the cards and everything put out the desserts on the dessert tables and go from there if it wasn’t a buffet night or a buffet evening or day, we would individually ask each person for their order on food  based on table when we would give them a menu that they would pick from and we went from there.

Severely understaffed restaurant area, causing it to be overtly hectic for such a small place. Management rarely oversaw us, preferring to be in the comfort of their office, and when you did need the attention of said management, they would act inconvenienced. Kind of clique-ish environment as well, where other employees (and management) would openly talk about people as if they weren't still employed at the company. Job was fairly easy, though training was pretty bad. Often got chewed out for things I was never taught in the first place, but fairly simple once I /did/ learn. 

Honestly, the only enjoyable thing about being there was the long breaks between lunch and dinner shifts. Also, the people I had served were very kind and understanding to me, considering I was new and reserved at first.

Be cautious if applying at Edenhill. It's a high-stress work environment, with job descriptions/workloads being UNDERSTATED in job ads, to get people to apply. They under-pay compared to workload expectations too. A person who multitasks VERY WELL is a good candidate there, and if they can handle a large amount of stress. For the RIGHT person who is "wired" to work fast in a high-stress environment daily, working there can be a better fit.

The only exceptional thing that stands out is the RESIDENTS. And a handful of the employees that I personally worked with. I cannot speak to the company as a whole however the residents on the Nursing Unit were not given the care they needed or deserve. Yes the pandemic is a  % of the understaffing but 1 CNA/NA/10 Residents is not realistic exception to have if offered a position. Interviewing I believed this would be were I eventually retired from but in less than 6 months of employment I resigned. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
You work with some great people and they help you learn so much and the residents are so much joy able and they give you opportunities to go further as a caregiver 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everyone is such a big help and every one helps each other that there's nothing to say about stressing 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well I work nights and I get the pleasure of getting residents ready for the day and making sure they are eating there breakfast and making sure they are doing well and no one is left out are alone

I worked here for years. It was great when I started, people were supportive and the residents were well taken care of. Then things consistently went down hill. By the time I left, there were little to no full time employees on each floor, everyone was overworked because they felt the need to pick up shifts so residents would get proper care. They management was doing three or four jobs each were changing faster than I could keep track. There were even nights were there was one cna and no nurse on some floors, or the nurse would be split across two or three floors all over the building. 

As s CNA you learn a lot working there but it is very hard work. You have to be strong because you are using your muscles all the time because most patients cannot move themselves   There is a lot of drama and favoritism and I never felt part of the team .  Overall it is a good company but all Nurses that are in charge on most floors need to be removed. They have been there for 10-15 years in charge and they are too comfortable in their role

Eden Hill taught me a lot in my short tenure and I was exposed to many learning experiences. The problem was never the duties of the job just co worker conflict that management continued to neglect or would speak on but never act on. I would never tell anyone don’t work there it is just an environment that someone must be prepared for before being exposed to especially at the pace in which it is done.
