Kahl Home

Never enough supplies, never feel appreciated, they will always find something you did wrong even if you work your hardest and try your best, always short staffed then blame the staff when things go wrong, unachievable tasks, too heavy of a work load and little pay, management sits in their offices all day and only come out to bark out orders, if your not friends with management then you’re dirt on their shoes, they let certain people pick and choose when they want to work and the others get the short end of the stick, you can put in a PTO day but you probably won’t get it because they don’t have staff so much for vacation time, they talk to their cnas like they’re incapable and under educated. It is a beautiful building, but they care more about the building than their staff. If it weren’t for my residents I wouldn’t have stuck around this long. It’s sad when the residents SEE you struggling and working short staffed so they tell you how they appreciate you, but management can’t. Not to mention they brought in new management and forced all the old Kahl home management out or made their job so difficult they had to quit or got fired for not getting stuff done. I wouldn’t take my family member here if it was the last place left on earth for them to go to. 

Love working at the Kahl home except some of the nuns are very rude!  As you read the other reviews you will see people complain about overtime, the educations that they receive, amount of pay, etc. who would complain about being offered overtime?? If you are then your to blame for saying yes.  None of the overtime is mandated!!  I will tell you that the rate of pay is lower than other facilities due to it being a non-profit organization and the benefits are better.  It does even out if your like me who have a lot of student loans but will be forgiven after working for a non-profit organization for 10 years.  I have never worked anywhere where the DON has been there for approximately 10 years and the Administrator has been there longer.  This is how you know they are on top of what they do and care for their patients and staff.  I have never seen it understaffed for longer than a couple of hours.  I have worked at a lot of facilities and this one, by far, is the best one.  The CNA per Patient ratio is the best I have seen in the 15 years of being a charge nurse.  Their is a lot of team work at the Kahl Home as long as your a team player yourself.   They don't take a lot of high acuity level patients like Manor Care does.

I have been in healthcare for over 12 years and a part of the Kahl home for two years now. I truly enjoy my career here because of the residents and our amazing staff. The love, care, and compassion that they show our residents is warm and endearing. It leaves a good feeling knowing that you have made a difference in someone’s life, even on those tougher days.

We have a growing and changing culture here at the Kahl Home. We promote diversity and inclusivity in the workplace culture by welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and celebrating their differences. 
 The work culture is full of love and humor and hard work. We want the best for our residents. Truly at the Kahl Home, “The Difference is Love.”

Consider a career with us and grow with an organization that believes in an individual, holistic approach to caring for our residents. Long-term care and skilled nursing are unique career specialties. You get to know your residents up close and personal while gaining knowledge about the aging process. You also have the opportunity to work with other caring professionals and build a strong community. 

Working full time at KH it took a year of first shift for the administrator to show her face on 3rd floor. You would think they would want to know what’s going on. They got a J tag from someone choking. The nurses are rude and sit in the nursing station on their phones. They don’t show appreciation for the CNA’s. You often work short handed. Especially if you work on a Alzheimer’s & dementia floor. They have stated, “they can’t call state on us for working their floor short because they have dementia”  They are all about money at this place and it shows. Things are much different since the original Kahl home building and it’s like their values went out the window. I would rather put my family member anywhere but this mess of a facility. The only way I would ever work here again is if it was the last healthcare facility left in the whole quad cities. 

The Kahl home overall is a great place to work! My only complaint is management. Personally I think management pick and choose who to “pick with” and who not to pick with! I feel us as CNAs are not appreciating by the Director of Nursing herself telling me “your just a CNA and need to stay in a CNA place”.Which is correct I am a CNA but this CNA is the one who’s breaking his/her back, This CNA is the one working holidays while management can be with a their families, this CNA is the one taking care of these people, this CNA is the one listening to these people cry! CNAs are not appreciated by management AT ALL only a few nurses actually say thanks and I have never heard management say thanks! The only reason I’m still working here is because I care for my patients and residents and have actually build a bond with them.

Management is absolutely horrible. They treat all there employees like a number. They were trying to get rid of employees who have been there for years so they can bring in new people and pay them less. When i worked there for the most part they had amazing staff and everyone helped each other but when management started trying  to cut cost because they couldn't afford there new building. A lot of employees got fired or quit because management also started cutting everyones hours and changing everyones schedule. They start off CNA'a at $10.25 an hour and it doesn't matter if your a new CNA or have 15 years experience your getting $10.25 an hour. After my 6 months i received a 0.10 raise.

my typical day at work you punch in and you have to jump right in you have to make sure all your residents were accounted for what happened that day(any falls,doctors appt.ect.) after you find all of that out you have to make sure you have clean linens garbage has been taking out before the shift before you leaves.the minute you get onto the floor you have to jump into work mode.
 the hardest part of my job was you get some people who don't wanna work with you (teamwork) and as a C.N.A you have to have help,sometimes you have a residents who are on a lift.which takes two people. so it get tuff but if you remember to help others when in need they return the favor.


my workday was very energetic and very ongoing. i learned how to have a lot more patience. my managers were very tolerable very respectful, and always there if needed. my co-workers were different by shape, form, and fashion but they all were very team orrientated also very dependable. the hardest part of my job was when we were short on staff. the most enjoyable part of my job was knowing that i can come to work and put a smile on at least one of my residents faces. 

Working here was busy, I was in charge of 21-23 res plus making sure CNA's are doing there job. Also reporting any info to my supervisor. I liked my co-workers and we worked well together and helped each other out. The hardest part of my that job was so much OT, they would always call and ask if I could come in, work doubles, and I would and it would just wear me out. The most enjoyable part of that job was the relationships theurpeutic with the residents, making sure their needs were met. My supervisor was great, I had a few coaching talks, only due to I was not educated when trained.

I love going to work to be with the Resident everyday, I've learned a lot from being a nursing home and how to take care of the resident. the management  there is, sometimes good but could use some improvement. the hardest part about this job is, losing the resident you have grown to known and care about. the most enjoyable part about this job is watching the smiles on the resident face, when you having giving them the best of care you know how.
