JAG Healthcare

I have been employed with Jag Healthcare 2 plus years. I found my position to be quite challenging during my first year. I have been in the LTC environment for many years, however; I now faced the unique challenge of working with Behavior diagnosed patients. I can honestly say that no two patients are the same in the behavior they exhibit. They are as Unique as you and I.
The Presient of the company places the patient at the Top of our Pyramid with Management being on the bottom. His request; Show Up, Smile, Care for the Patient and Have a Good Day. The Management Team is above reproach. They are Educated family oriented, understanding of the challenges we all encounter within our own families. All the while displaying patience and tolerance with Patients and Employees alike. While some leave our employ, moving on to employers for higher paying opportunities; the one thing I've observed. Many come back  To Jag Healthcare. We Are a Family! 
To summarize.  If you want a Challenging Position, have the desire to Make a Difference enjoy the Rewards of assisting others, Step into one of Jag Healthcare's positions. 
I assure you; You will not be disappointed.

More than willing to wake up every morning to go into work around others i had become so close to to do a job i enjoyed doing. I consider the people i worked with family. Work days went by so fast getting along with others and when you enjoy what you do. Every morning i did a test print to test my ink levels grabbed a chart with tubs of garments on them an then scanned the bar code to print up print an colors. You then set the garment in the right are it is to printed on then press the machine button to run the garment through the printer. When it comes out you then take garment slowly off machine careful to not touch any wet ink on anything. You then lay garment onto a press that ran 365 Degrees to secure ink. You then fold up and send to shipping and they ship garments out to costumers. The management was amazing for the 4 1/2 years i was there. unfortunately the company was took over by new management that didn't run it properly so i left the company after 5 years of being there. My hardest part of the job was leaving the people i grew close to being family with i loved my job and those who i worked with wouldn't change it for anything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The clients. It’s very rewarding to know that your making a difference for these people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 The nurses would literally hit the call light and wait for an aid to become available to change a Patient or a colostomy bag instead of just doing it themselves. Also, I had been left multiple times during a 2 person lift. Including while using a Hoyer Lift which is never supposed to be done alone. If they would have walked out as State were walking in, I would have been on the hook for that. I felt disrespected. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very cliquey when I first started. Sometimes I felt certain employees were borderline bullies.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Run run run. As an aide, You are assigned to certain halls and certain rooms. Required to change and bathe clients, assist with meals, answer call lights, record every interaction, and tailored care specific to each client.

As a brand new nurse this job was great for experience. With the combination of behavioral health and rehabilitative care there were so many great opportunities for a new nurse such as myself to start off with. The care team is so collaborative and fun and it is incredibly hard not to notice and appreciate everything that the managing team does for their coworkers. Scheduling my hours and finding time for me to work that benefits not only me but for the whole nursing team was so easy and accommodating. I also want to mention that they are so cooperative and  take such good care of the inhabitants of this facility so that the care that each resident receives is always so kind and rewarding. If you are good with healthy communication and strive to help those with behavioral disabilities reach the maximum level of comfort and satisfaction they deserve, I would definitely consider applying here!! :)

This company is a sad joke ,care is very to little basic .Nursing spends most of the day at the smoke hut .Nurse sides are over worked .Short staffed most of this time paid very little . Housekeeping is horrible . Housekeeping mostly short staffed they have to clean whole place one person plus do laundry maintenance floors and clean dinning rooms and help sides .no wonder is dirty . Maintenance men are just LAZY . Cooperate Leadership should been fired long ago . Pathetic what goes on the owner does nothing but fire the people who are violated .to keep it out of the public. Activities are not much just take to smoke and back to room or TV .Administration is they what they claim to be are joke .The owner of this company should be accountable .I would never allow my friends or family to work here or let them live in this mess.Dietaty needs to clean up the kitchen .There is No good leadership at all here .Very Sad .

they can not keep help  they hire for STNA  and cooks  and run them out faster then the get in  alot of drama  and alot of back stab  also  if ya want cuss at called every thing but your color  and kicked hit by a resident  and management dont do nothing go for it  last of all  the company cares less about you always short staff can not keep help wants ya to do a 3 person job  for low pay  the only time this place cares is when its survey time or when state health dept  osha and attorney gen office comes in because of all the complaints they get on this place  and its alot  we had so many good people and some with some years in up and leave in last year beacuse of so many issues  and poor management here and alot of back stab and play favorites  and state always coming in  we had over 35 complaints filed in one month whats that tell you

I would only recommend this company to the worst of my worst enemies. They do not value you, your life, your work ethic, or your efforts. I would also never consider this nursing home for any of my family or friends, working or living. Management was a farce and probably still is. While I could tangent about every terrible thing, here's the short:

Pay? Abysmal.
Benefits? Sub-par.
Coworkers? Pretty good, not gonna lie.
Management? Non-existant.
Advancement? Quit and get rehired for another position, only possible way I've seen during my 3 years there.
Job Security? Heck, if you got a pulse, you're in that position for life.
Scheduling? Chaotic and short-sighted.
Work/life balance? There is none.

The residents were the best part of the job, as many of them were very good, sweet people. Value yourself more, do not work here.

I WOULDN'T Recommend this place too anyone I know. Management is horrible, A lot of back stabbing, if you have a problem the administrator leads you to believe your the problem. Very unprofessional. The activity director stays in her office all day, and never helps out on the floor. Showers don't get done, due to under staffing. Staffing is a lot of children still in high school. Barely have supplies for residents. The workload is unbelievable at times. Management complains about call lots not being answered, will  walk right pass and come find you so they can yell at you about how many call lights you have. So what I'm saying is this place is horrible..

No matter who they hire and what dept   people come in work and ka boom  up and leave why yes why good question is it not  and seems to been alot leave any more from stna lpn kitchen EVEN HOUSE KEEPING AND OFFICE  in last 8 years  to now every dept gone ;;and even ones with  so many years are leaving ;depts are now short staff  and some depts have only one person doing a 3 person job all for a low min wage reason they leave simple if ya ask any that left the nurse in charge here runs them off - management knows it but do not take action 2nd the talk down upon and yes the back stab - behind your back deal why we could never and will not ever keep help here

they can not keep help  they hire for STNA  and cooks  and run them out faster then the get in  alot of drama  and alot of back stab  also  if ya want cuss at called every thing but your color  and kicked hit by a resident  and management dont do nothing go for it  last of all  the company cares less about you always short staff can not keep help wants ya to do a 3 person job  for low pay  the only time this place cares is when its survey time or when state health dept  osha and attorney gen office comes in because of all the complaints they get on this place  and its alot  we had so many good people and some with some years in up and leave in last year beacuse of so many issues  and poor management here
