Kendal on Hudson

What is the best part of working at the company?
Aside from interacting with the nice residents as well as the employees, the gratitude received for my services.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Miscommunications with the supervisors have made working at Kendal a little more challenging than necessary.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was patient-friendly, warm, welcoming, and societal and communal at the same time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Routinely going from floor to floor of each assigned building of the facility loading up garbage and recyclables from each trash room and disposing them in the loading dock where the compactors are stored, answering calls from the front desk on behalf of a resident experiencing apartment-related issues, responding to fire alarms, setting up tables and chairs for an event planned later on in the evening, filling up and testing the swimming pool with the right amount of chemicals required, sanitizing wheelchairs on the assistant living units, wiping down the walls and ceilings of all the elevators in every building of the facility, and responding to emergency calls first hand.

After fifteen years working as the front desk receptionist at Kendal-on-Hudson, I feel that I know a lot of the residents well. I know the names of all three-hundred residents (even the ones that travel often),
and they know me pretty well. I love to greet each person that arrives in the front lobby--including the staff. I find pride in caring for the diverse needs of the senior population at Kendal. The front desk remains very busy throughout the day (with a few quiet moments at around 3:00 or 4:00 pm.) I am often faced with challenges that require me to seek solutions. The residents have always been very happy with my attentiveness and follow-through. There are times when I have multiple phone lines ringing, a number of people standing in front of me needing my assistance and a truck at the loading dock needing me to open the garage door from my computer. I handle all of this in stride, and am very much appreciated for it.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

As a former waitress. I have to say I do love Kendal, but the pay could be better, the food could be better and management could be WAY better! Everyone knows everyone's business nothing is kept a secret and the less they know about you the more they make up! Residents are friendly for the most part and most of the staff are friendly as well, but honestly no one can be trusted here. No one takes the blame for their own actions! And management is useless. If you have a problem it's pointless to talk to them because they'll listen say their going to help and nothing ever gets done and no one is safe. I've seen so many ppl get fired in the 5 years I was there! It's sad!

A typical day working as a facilities staff member. If you already don’t have knowledge or good practice of the trades, you certainly won’t learn anything from the head of facilities. In terms of work place culture, one thing you could learn from the head of facilities is how to make up stories and spread them throughout the building. The hardest part of the job is getting through the day without laughing in the face of management. The most enjoyable part of the job was watching these overpaid managers, trying to figure out the simplest things.

KOH and it’s core values are what attracted me to working here and loved that about it and it’s residents. Residents here are lovely and very appreciative. Staff are very good and their hearts are in the right places and do try their best though more proper training is preferable to take them to the next level and build more Camaraderie and confidence. Management could use more training as well. Overall a very good place to work if you can adapt well to constant changes. 

KOH is a fabulous place for sure, many have been there since before the doors opened but only because they either know the right butts to kiss or know all the secrets on management. 
Cost of food for employees is very high, unless you work in food service
Many managers, educated adults!, lie frequently and that's very upsetting
Many managers gossip worse than 13 year olds and  stir the pot causing tension within departments 
Low level positions (nurse aids, housekeepers, kitchen staff) are treated poorly, little respect

I should have NEVER accepted my offer at Kendal on Hudson. It was first an amazing experience, but as other things came around, the management did not let me leave to attend my other activities. THEY ALSO LOST MY IMPORTANT WORKING DOCUMENTS!! The dirty silverware and the linens are a whole other story. People do not work as a team: it is cliquey. I felt excluded, pushed aside, and WORST OF ALL neglected! DO NOT WORK HERE!!! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The idea of the Quaker ideals 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of acceptance of colored people on staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lack of diversity. No opportunity for growth and development.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day is the same thing. You go to work perform task for designated departments. Whether dietary, nursing, or environmental services.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Friendly and very flexible place to work. I never had an issue with anybody.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Me personally I did not experience any stressful situation.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very pleasant and respectful to all cultures.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Normal because I work along with my co-workers (team work)
