Working as a housekeeper here is a decent job for those who are able to handle the amount of hefty physical work. This job is very good for people who dislike customer service. The co-workers were very helpful and guided me in my first few weeks of training here. The residents were friendly and gave me appreciative compliments as well. The hours they gave me were flexible around my schedule.

However, it was difficult to keep up with the high expectations I had here. Receiving heavy criticism for my work also didn't make my experience any better; because of this, it makes it difficult to reach out and voice my concerns. Each task is done differently from person to person, making it confusing on what needs to be done correctly. A majority of my tasks had to be done without taking any breaks. These unrealistic expectations made work extremely stressful, which the upper management lacked concern for. 

The amount of physical labor I had to work for my pay also seemed unfair compared to the CNA's, who were paid more and worked much less. I was very determined to keep my job at first, but over time, these factors made work difficult and completely depleted my motivation to work any longer for this company.

When I started 6yrs ago, cherrywood was the best. Only company I really enjoyed working with. They said what the did, and did what they said. During COVID everyone chipped in to help out on the AL side. From the ED, to head of maintenance, to the chief. I couldn't believe it. We lost a lot of staff during that time. Some of us did many doubles, in fact we stayed over many nights, away from family just to be there in case we were needed.  We were in quarantine for 4yrs (off and on). It was our home away from home. 
When the ED moved on, everything changed. We lost a lot of perks from the company. Everyone felt the shift at that place including residents. After putting in almost 6yrs a couple of us got fired over BS. They would rather keep employees that are lazy talk bad to the residents and their supervisors in front of other staff, then ones who love what their doing and the residents who also in return care for them. You have resident coordinator and one who does staffing hanging out with the nursing director taking shots at her house on a work day. But they are "working at home". Upper management suck. The care for the residents isn't at all what it use to be. I would only want my parents to live there if I was working there. I wouldn't want to leave them in the care of that staff ever. Caregivers do the bare minimum now, with no care.

Company has no clue on how to run a senior living company.  "Systems in place" is non-existent for employees at the communities, and because of turnover, no one at the corporate level are able to properly train new managers and directors on such said "systems."  Turnover in management is just as high and frequent as the turnover in their corporate office team.  Zero accountability is issued to incompetent management from corporate office despite numerous complaints from the real, honest, hard-working employees at the community.   Residents are misled, misinformed and most of all, ripped off from receiving the proper amenities that they're promised.  IF you want to work in an assisted living company where you want no support, non-supportive managers who "throw you under the bus", and a home office that doesn't listen to employees despite their supposed employee surveys, feel free to apply to the family owned Generations...where all your dreams will come true (cue the sarcasm undertones).  

I loved working here for the first couple of months. However, after some changes in the memory care department it was awful. There was drama and rude things said about everyone. This place lacks professionalism. Higher up management was not helpful in resolving issues. Management was rude and ignorant to the CNAs and medtechs. The overall work environment is was just not good for the workers. Not only that but we weren’t even allowed to wear scrubs as well as treatment to residents. They marked up price of living there and food wasn’t made very well for them. Working with other CNAs we’re almost like pulling teeth. Everyone had an issue with someone and things were never resolved. When complaints were made, nothing was ever solved. There were good things and there were bad things, this was a great CNA job for beginners, but you’ll definitely want a more professional job once you get tired of this place. The only thing I’ll miss is my residents, even if they won’t remember me.

A typical day at work for house keepers is following a tight schedule that is
more work than can possibly done if you are doing the job right. 
The time allowed for the amount of work is unrealistic. 

I learned that the expectations of how things should be done are not the same for everybody.
Following their time schedule is more important than quality of work.
Employee's are basically just warm bodies to fill a slot.
If you have a problem it is because something is wrong with you, not the unrealistic expectations of the job.
Employee's can expect very little action done, mostly talk when it comes to their concerns.

The best part of the job was the clients, as most are very kind, and appreciative of your work. I enjoyed the clients and will miss them.

The people in charge, upper management, should realize the clients want a good job done for them not just someone who can follow a certain time schedule.

Very hard work, little pay and lip service for any action that needed to be taken is the hardest part of the job.

Loyalty only goes one way, theirs.

in my professional life I have never encountered a care facility that truly cares about their residents like this one!  People are treated like family.  This extends to staff as well. Going to work is like leaving home to go to your other home.  This is a culture that come directly from the top of this LLC.  The founder and his family are caring people who promote these 5 values:  Cherish Our residents.  Cherish our employees.  Cherish our vitality culture.  Cherish our trophy assets (beautiful facilities). Cherish our fiscal responsibilities.   Working here is truly what our motto says:  "We are a family caring for families".  When a resident passes, it affects all of us deeply as we have lost a loved one.  When an employee leave, we are sad that we no longer work with them, but wish them well in their future endeavors.   I hope I am able to spend the rest of my working life with this company, It promotes the positive attitude makes life a joy to live.

The home office only cares about upper management and themselves. If you are anything under a director, good luck getting recognition or treated fairly. Also, some advice for the generations home office: if you want happier employees and less turn around, pay them more, offer more practical support and don’t assume everyone has your lifestyle/privileges. No one cares about a one time off gift card saying “thank you for your hard work” when they are severely underpaid. Also, perhaps consider putting less money towards your holiday parties and “office” needs and more towards your community staff and their needs… without them, you wouldn’t even have your jobs. 

My brother and father in law were in the rehab area and got excellent care. I would put anyone I loved there. As a nurse, the pt assignments were unfair. It was first come first serve. Whoever got there first to start their shift got to choose the hall they wanted to work on, so the same people got to work the easiest halls. There was competition between the nurses proving to each other who was the smartest, who knew more, and who could win brown points with management.

I absolutely love working here. This is one of those jobs where you wake up in the morning, excited to go to work. The work is fun and flexible, while also helping you stretch and get a bit out of your comfort zone. All the employees are incredibly nice and it really does feel like a family. The residents are all sweet. 

The only problem with the job is the benefits. The benefits are an absolute joke. If you have a spouse and child, they cost about $1500/month... and they're not even that good anyway. If you don't care at all about benefits, then this is a perfect job.

Taking time off for personal reasons of family affairs is a hard no in there line of work. Calling in because you are sick they still make you come to work if you can’t find coverage yourself. Having a doctors appointment during your scheduled shift is forbidden unless you find someone to come in early to relieve you. Management does not take anything seriously and will work you until you have nothing left and take advantage of what you give.
