Gardant Management Solutions

If you enjoy being given direction and goals, only to have Sr. leadership change those w/o a conversation, fail to discuss challenges, ignore the details of communication and then be blamed for not communicating those details, you will LOVE working at Gardant.  If you appreciate leadership saying one thing and doing something completely different, failing to give meaningful feedback, and only prioritizing the pet projects they are personally invested in financially, then you will appreciate the leadership style of Gardant.  If you don't like this approach, I would suggest steering clear.  If you are OK with being used and having no actual time off, if you are OK with spending your day on numerous conference calls, if you are OK with all policies and procedures being developed as a reaction to an emergency and having everything treated as a crisis, this will be a wonderful place for you to grow your crazy train career.  If you are OK with winging it due to a lack of established systems of management this is a great place to call your work home!  If you are OK with your direct supervisor NEVER taking the time to witness your interactions with your team, attend community visits, provide guidance or support or insight........then you will be great here!  

I go to work set up for breakfast then get ready to open the door to start serving the residents, I believe I learned how to be more at patient with the elderly, I feel like I manage to do my job well and in at a good time frame, I feel like I have a good communication with all  the residents, staff and bosses ,the hardest part of my job is when it's time for me to clock out to leave is to tell the residents I'll see yall tomorrow morning for breakfast, the most enjoyable part of my job is when I open the door to the dining room to tell all my residents goodmorning and ask them how was there night 

This was the worst job I ever had. The expectations are completely unattainable, and when you don’t meet them regional management becomes passive aggressive, tries to put the blame on everyone else, and refuses to acknowledge their lack of capability. I asked my regional manager for research into our market and she gave me about 5 different reasons why it didn’t exist and why it was on me to do in addition to my already exhaustive job duties. It was really unfortunate because I loved the families I worked with, but if you won’t let yourself be bullied you can expect to be let go after 6 months despite doubling sales from the previous year. They have a bad reputation for a reason, avoid at all costs

Dont be tricked by the smiles!...there is no "Director" of Maintenance - YOU ARE THE WHOLE MAINTENANCE TEAM...and HOUSEKEEPING TEAM...and the DELIVERY MAN,  for TWO locations....Managers are VERY "BUDGET CAUTIOUS" even when necessities are needed, if youre lagging behind in Work Orders & Unit Turns  because of that...Youre To Blame....Dont Make any Complaints , and forget  about a non-bias inquiry if you do,  Upper Mgmnt and the Property Managers are old friends and NOTHING goes past the RDO.... Be prepared to be on call 24/7 365!!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stress free, welcoming and pleasant, helpful coworkers.

This is definitely the WORST CNA job I have ever worked! Favoritism is huge and if you’re not willing to work overtime, you’re told you’re not a “team player”. It’s not about the residents at all. It’s all about the company making money. They could care less about their CNAs. Severely understaffed and you are more than likely to have to stay over into the next shift. The Director of Nursing doesn’t want to step up and help out on the floor. Just point fingers at the ones who don’t want to pick up extra hours. If you like being under appreciated and overworked, this is the place for you!

My time at Heritage Woods of Rockford has been good. I am learned a lot about patience because of the industry - working in a kitchen but also with people who depend on your for meals. Most days are stressful but I would not trade the last two years for anything. I have made great friends with my coworkers and great bonds with my residents that I will always cherish.

I have learned that anywhere you go in your working career, there will be people there to lift you up and bring you down - I have experienced both here. I learned that you have to work for the residents and yourself to make the work day the best it can be.

Each day was different. Management worked in a team environment. At Heritage Woods the needs of the residents came first. The hardest part of the job is when a resident moved out. Not only was losing the resident hard but we had 4 days to fill the apartment. That involved keeping a large group of applicants financially and medically ready. I also had annual recertifications to complete for every resident. I really enjoyed my contact with the residents and their families 

Management is irresponsible. Only care about their own values and interests, they couldn’t care less about the beautiful people who live in these communities. It’s repulsive. I loved working at CCA, loved the employees and residents. It’s management and the company Gardent only values the money and not the beautiful people who live and work there. No management ever listened to any concerns or complaints from anything the employees had said.
