I would start my work with wiping desk and phone and organizing work place so it would be easy for me to work properly. I would promptly answer phone calls and direct them to proper departments. 
Keep sharp eye on people who enter building and who leaving it. In emergency situations like fire drill, lost resident or suspicious unknown people, contact security and proper authority.
 Contact residents ans if they are okay. If not okay, I call nursing station and security. Provide all allowed information to guests and potential residents.

My biggest complaint about working here is just the overall lack of staff. TLRC relies VERY heavily on non permanent staffing agencies to “work” and I say that lightly because some of them do nothing close to actually working. This is the most frustrating part for me is having people who are not familiar with the building or residents be assigned to help you for the long 12 hour days. The pay starting out was on the lower side of the scale considering they only have 12 hours shifts and it’s Skilled Nursing environment; not Assisted where the residents are easier physically to care for. 

One of my favorite parts of working here is getting to know employees from different departments, I'm always laughing or getting to know something new about someone. 
I'm lucky to have a supportive team, that encourages work/life balance.
I've also had quite a few growth opportunities since I started working for eliseo and have been able to promote internally. 
However, no job is perfect, and Skilled Nursing is a challenging industry to work in. 
There is stress from working in this industry, which makes teamwork and self-care really important to reduce burnout.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Terrible work environment. Management was mean and impossible to please. Form vendettas and made people’s lives miserable. Overworked and underpaid employees. Asked them to do things that violated HR best practices. Don’t recommend working there 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with management was horrible.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, and you were expected to work overtime with no compensation. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful from moving til night

Work hours went from 8 hour shifts to 12 hour shifts.  Wages were at the very bottom of the industry scale.  Patient to CNA ratio was often 18:1.  Staff was often absent with no prior notice and agency staff was often not brought in to cover due to budget concerns.  The overall attitude was poor and management did little to nothing to encourage employees to stay.  Huge turnover in personnel.

I have worked for Tacoma Lutheran for over 13 years and I have found my work here to be very rewarding with both staff and the residents we serve.  It's hard work as any job in healthcare can be.  When working for a company that serves people, I have found they also care about you as a person and your family.  This provides a valued sense of work/life balance.  The health benefits are competitive and the paid time off is great!  It's an honor to work here and along side staff who believe in our mission to serve others.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The days that you are paid, every other week. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
How it is a faith based institution and actually all they care about is the money that  omes in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The residents are wonderful and are the only reason to work at eliseo.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is nice e to not know what the day will bring as every day can be different.

Mission and non-profit, faith based organization is worth investing your career into. However, Leadership unsupportive and uncaring about the staff. Reactive management that does little to support the growth or effectiveness of their team. Expect to be blind sighted with allegations without warning or discussion before hand. You can’t trust or expect leadership to help you develop or to have your back.

I've been at TLRC for over 17 years and feel honored to work with so many dedicated and caring staff.  While the work is hard, knowing we help residents live better lives is very rewarding.  It's a beautiful campus of 28 acres in an atmosphere of genuine care and concern for one another.  Every job has it's good and not so good days, but overall, management tries hard and is dedicated to the employees' well-being. 

9AM-5:30PM day consisted of: managed resident entertainment and events, managed resident quarterly/annual reports, reviews, care plans and activity assessments, copy wrote: newsletters, marketing email blasts, web copy and resident biographies. Hardest part of the job was when residents would pass away, most enjoyable was touching their lives.
