I feel like my daily actions directly contribute to the residents' happiness, health and comfort.  The culture at Freedom Village fosters significant personal growth and development.  Working here has helped me become more compassionate, patient and grateful.  Freedom Village is also a fun place to work AND fulfilling.  The stories, experiences, and humor of the residents makes every day enjoyable.  Overall, working at Freedom Village offers a unique blend of personal and professional rewards, making it a truly fulfilling place to work.

I worked as a server at Freedom Village for a little over a year. A typical day for me would be serving food to residents in the dining area or delivering room service to them in their apartments. I also bussed tables and did whatever else needed to be done (i.e. miscellaneous jobs). I learned how to be patient and how to stay calm under stress because at times, the job can get a little hectic and busy. The management was very accommodating, so I don't have many complaints. I loved my co-workers as well. It was very easy to make friends in this work environment because you had to work together a lot of the time. The hardest part of the job was being able to handle more than one thing at a time, and that happened quite a lot. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the relationships with my co-workers and the relationships I made with the residents. I loved when residents would remember my name because it made me feel quite special.

Working at Freedom Village has been one of the most rewarding experiences. Every day brings meaningful interactions, heartfelt stories, and the opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. The sense of community is strong—not just among residents, but among staff as well. We support each other, celebrate milestones together, and share a deep commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those we serve. It’s more than a job—it’s a calling, and I’m proud to be part of a team that treats every resident with dignity, compassion, and respect.

I like how they welcome us an introduce themselves so the new employees can see faces and kinda put a name // title to the face! Made sure they made the first day chill and not stressful at all , everything they organize to help us remember certain things or anything they have it all organized so it’s not a lot. 
A lot of reassurance an it feels great as a new employee to have that ! I just love it all the way around , it’s a beautiful welcoming , loving , caring place to come into , to work , I love how you can grow within the company an the things they do for their employees AND residents!!! 

This place is only concerned with employees part of their group. If you're new and aren't close to management, your concerns will not be addressed. Work schedules are based on a 2 week rotation, one week you may work more hours than the other week, and then the cycle repeats. Work duties vary depending on which unit you will be working that day. If you are new, be prepared to be switching units every day aside from your "home" unit, regardless if it is your turn to rotate or not. My favorite part of work, was caring for the residents. You really do get close to some of them, and it's fun to form that relationship. Some nurses  think they are better than others, and are not willing to help with basic tasks, while some nurses help out a lot. It's a hit or miss.

I worked there as a housekeeper and stayed as long as I did because I loved the people I cleaned for .  I had to go because there was no advancement , low pay for my area and they offered no sick days . I had a young child and had to take off work to care for him. I worked very very hard while I was there and the other housekeepers didn't like me because I cleaned better then them. I couldn't stand being paid the same as someone else who doesn't work as hard as me and management did nothing about those individuals who didn't carry their weight. 

Typical day involves helping residents in the administration office, computer work.

 I’ve learned how to best support the senior community who trust people in these roles and depend on them. It’s a privilege to work with them. 

Management is stable, tenures range from 1-34 years. Smart, capable, supportive, fun team leaders. 

Workplace culture - very warm, helpful, supportive. 

Harder part of the job is nothing. 

Most enjoyable part is everything. 

CONS: FV definitely cuts some corners on cleaning the server stations and the dining rooms, and working with mostly high schoolers is bound to have some petty drama, but that's life. 
PROS: Work environment is pretty nice between the dining rooms and the kitchen. For me, the people make it worth it despite the "meh" pay. Schedule's very flexible which is the #1 reason I still work here, because then I can work during the summer and during the school year too. FV also provides yearly scholarships for staff still in college/highschool.

Workplace culture is clicky, LOTS of drama,  nurses work well together, management is all about themselves and their bonuses…they don’t care about you as a worker, keep in the back of your mind that YOU ARE REPLACEABLE, they say you can talk to them about anything behind closed doors…WATCH YOUR BACK!!! Do not trust any one of them, write- ups, one write up you will get your retention bonus taken away, insurance sucks, 

There is a lot of employee turn over except for managers and higher-ups. Depends which department you work in, but there are rotten eggs in all of them flexing their power or basis. Residents will tell you levels of care and quality have greatly diminished over the years. Some fun  benefits, but not the ones essential for life like the healthcare is not very good and its expensive.
