Hearth Management

As a former driver. I resigned and left this position. Soon after my 90 day probationary period was over.  Due to Faulty, Very Dangerous and Un-safe vehicles.  I constantly warned the Executive & Activities Directors, that the companies Bus & Cadillac were un-safe to drive !  My complaints and concerns, always fell on deaf ears.
Just to name a few issues -
The buses WHEEL-CHAIR lift would never work properly, on a daily basis. Leaving the residents stranded outside, in mid-air. While I had to use the emergency hand pump to bring them in or out of the bus, while In the rain and cold !  To date 11/19/18, it has not been repaired. The bus broke down constantly, for various reasons. To many issues to list !
When I first started there. Both vehicles had no oil in them. I added 5 or more quarts to each. Obviously, the Activities Director ( who is in charge of the vehicles ) did not keep up on the routine maintenance of both vehicles. The Cadillac has a cracked oil pan, for the past year. According to the repair shop. They told me, ''  the Cadillac needs to be junked, before it breaks down for good, with residents in it. '' The Cadillac was NOT registered or inspected, for over a year. It was a NY State registered vehicle and needed to be done annually. The Activities & Executive Directors, both told me to continue driving these vehicles and that they were aware of all the issues with their vehicles. They said '' It was up to Corporate to do something about them ''.
Also, the morale of the employees and residents is horrible. No one ever smiles ! Residents constantly told me ''that they were very un-happy about many things. ''  Especially the FOOD and THEFT of their property, in their rooms. I think you get the picture by now. I could go on but choose not to. I would NOT recommend this place to prospective residents or to anyone thinking about working here. Don't Do IT ! You'll end up quitting, in a few short months. Worst place I ever worked.   Former Driver / Employee.

Some people write reviews due to being upset, angry etc.... This is a 100% genuine review of my experience. I worked at The Hearth At Tudor Gardens, Zionsville as a server and it was the worst job of my life!!!! Extremely high Turnover, people come in late everyday or call off regularly, or are even a no call no show. This leaves you overworked and underpaid. Some of the kitchen staff are so lazy and don’t do their jobs. When you pick up the slack when they don’t, because you care and take charge, you end up being abused for working hard by management. As for management, they completely dismiss anything you have to say about the problems I’ve mentioned here!!! When it comes to staff attendance, work ethic etc... they lack any kind of discipline for staff and simply don’t care. It’s like the bad workers are praised and the genuine hardworkers are severely mistreated!!! Which is why everyday, you work hard and are completely unappreciated for what you do!!! One cook was verbally and physically abusive during my time there. There is no discipline, no structure, no stability in staff, absolutely terrible management!!! And the pay is awful!!! In the end, I Resigned and left for a different senior living corporation. It’s made a huge difference!!! The pay is sooo much better, the benefits are great and the staff is consistent. Management is just wonderful!!! I don’t recommend working here at all!!! In my experience, I was absolutely miserable!!!! You really are treated terribly for all your hardwork. I’ve never experienced anything  like it in my life!!! It was the BIGGEST RELIEF!!! Of my life when I was finally able to leave for a better job!!! And now... I don’t EVER look back on this awful awful company!!!!! Seriously think about it before working here!!! Unless you are desperate and need a job quickly!!!

The Hearth at Tudor Gardens is the worst job Ive ever had in my entire life!!! 1) Management belittle you, refuse to listen to you, treat you like dirt and if youre like me, will get physically and emotionally abused.
2) Turnover is extremely high and because of this, you are pushed to the limits and extremely overworked. 
3) So many people who do nothing leaves you again overworked, management never appreciate your efforts and will constantly put you down and make you feel awful. 
4) The pay is an absolute insult and a joke to your work and efforts. I started with $9.50 an hour and then got a pathetic 10cents raise after 2 years. Weekends and holidays have to be worked and you wont get extra pay for that. Full time is no higher than 37 hours a week also. 
Best thing I ever did was QUIT!!!!! My new job??.... Quality Control Technician. I had no experience and was trained from the beginning.  40 hours a week, $18 an hour, Monday to Friday, weekends and holidays off. Christmas bonuses, 2 pay increases in my first year, each raise was $2.50 an hour more. Low turnover because staff are happy. Management are incredible, appreciate staff and even arrange trips out regularly to increase team morale. Do you see the difference?? Trust me when I say the Hearth at Tudor Gardens is no place to work if you want a life, to be treated like an adult and appreciated and secure a position long term. So many people have ended up leaving because they are so miserable there, and after speaking to staff that are still there trying to get out, it continues. Hope this review helps others. Better yourself. Working here is just asking for trouble.

Worked as a server / cook /  dishwasher for the Hearth at Tudor Gardens. In my 2 years there, I saw at least 25 - 30 people leave in the 1st year there, That is just the dietary dept. You work to the point of exhaustion because you are overworked based on high turnover and your pay is no more than $9.50 an hour. Even after 2 years my pay increase was only 10 cents an hour more. you cant enjoy your days off because someone is always a no call no show or late or quits. Staff in dietary are always young people who have terrible attitudes who show up for work but don't do any, that's also where you are overworked. As for management, ABSOLUTLY AWFUL!!!! I was emotionally abused as well as physically by a cook and got no appreciation for the hardwork. You are undermined, unappreciated, overworked, extremely underpaid and pushed to the limits!!! In my time there, I've even seen 3 directors of the place fired because of bad management. Staff in dietary I've seen smoking maruajana and look completely high on the job. I'm telling you, this will be your worst nightmare yet!!! There is no life in working here and you are asking for trouble accepting a position here. A huge weight was lifted when I quit and found a better position earning after training $18 an hour in a Monday - Friday 40 hour position. Here you don't even get full time. Full time here is 37 hours a week. Don't end up severely depressed and stuck in a rut by working here. I hope this helps people so they don't suffer the same horror I went through.

Upper management doesnt know their butt from a hole in the ground. Policy constantly changing. Horrible organization. Won’t back up their people. Ran by people who have all been there under a year because turnover is so high. Work every holiday. Terribly understaffed, hard to hire when pay is so low due to being “assisted living” but actually has so many long term care- 2 assist, feeders- and working short DAILY And doing their job of two, three, and four people.  Every employee on call. Terribly high benefits. Little pay. Reverse racism all over the place, dangerous employees going undisciplined drive out good solid workers. If you’re black you get no discipline for threatening employees, name calling nurses, bruising residents, and sitting on your butt doing absolutely nothing while residents sit in urine for hours. If you’re white they try to fire you for anything. Management on floor, 16 hour days-won’t hire agency- even if they’re in dire straits and in danger of a shut down from state. Upper management loves to work the salary people on the floor rather than pay overtime/agency.  Short staffed, but still pushing new admits. Residents suffer. They literally protest and complain. Pay all that money for bad service.  Don’t bother with this one. RUN! 

The Hearth at Franklin wasn't a terrible job but it is constantly under new management. Directors and others in different departments are constantly demoted or moved to other positions because corporate is very picky. If they don't like the receptionist or activities assistant they'll move them to another job such as, kitchen or resident aide. I don't think the problem lies within the Directors of the Hearth but the hands of corporate. Residents are always complaining almost always short staffed. Techs aren't always able to complete showers,complete laundry, room trays get forgotten, too much to do and remember. It was a very stressful job on the assisted living side, and overall took a toll on my mental health. Techs are by themselves usually one on assisted living side sometimes two if your lucky! If there is two on AL they will pull one to memory care side so it's one person stuck doing everything. When it is short staffed and things go wrong it is usually blamed on the workers.Residents are promised things that are impossible to always guarantee. Most of the workers that are still there and haven't quit yet is because they are attached to the residents and don't want to leave them.

*Come in say hi to the residents, get report of each shift, and then begin our shift making sure our residents and there family has everything they need to help them have peace at mind.
*I have learned so much from my residents. What family really means, What sticking together and helping one another, and loving hearts. Learn about the hard times and the best memories that they could remember. Being around them made me realize where i want to be in my career.
*I felt when it came to the residents they were so caring and their for them. Now for the employees i felt they are controdicting,and really didnt care for their employees.
*There were at least two co-workers that were the best people that I have worked with in a long time. They were true and drama free. As for the other co-workers nothing but drama, and they were only there for a paycheck.
*When they couldnt remember who there family was or you were, and when i had to leave. When i had to leave the job i felt like a piece of my heart was ripped away.
*My residents, getting a hug, helping them with anything they need, and the fact that we put smiles on each others face..

I worked at the Hearth for almost 4 years. When the building first opened, we were all like a big family. Then for unclear reasons, it was like all the genuine workers began getting let go one by one. I was in a supervisor role, and was asked to step down due to false allegations, my director terminated, then the employee who made the allegations quite. The allegations were not even investigated. I was then asked, after been demoted, to train the new director. Though I was no longer in this type of role, I felt I was required to train him as I may lose my job if I did not. I did train him, yet was still expected to perform his job duties. It got to the point I dropped my full time status to part time, and worked 530am-7pm every weekend so I would not have to work around him. After yet another circumstance of being treated unfairly I put my notice in. I told the facility director the reason for my leaving, which didn’t matter because they were friends. My coworkers were great, which all have moved on since I left. Residents in these types of facilities deserve the very best and working in a hostile environment can have a negative impact on patient care.

When I first started the hearth I had very high hopes. Shortly after working there I realized I should of never accepted the offer of employment. They DO NOT care about their own residents let alone their workers! We are overworked, under paid & severly under appreciated! Management is a joke! They sweep MAJOR problems under the rug yet write good employees up for the smallest things while MAJOR issues horrible aides get praised for! Residents concerns & complaints ARE NEVER taken into consideration or handled appropriately. Residents have complained of abuse and upper management ignores it to save their reputation. They never have supplies we need on hand & expect us to provide care to residents with contagious diseases without gloves, protective gowns, etc. The Hearth at Southbury is a total disgrace & they should be ashamed of themselves! I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone as a place of employment and definitely wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking to house their loved one here!
