**I’ve been told that the majority of employees who made this place such a negative experience for myself and many other I’ve spoken to, have been replaced. I hope the new regime brings about change and positivity. It won’t be an easy job to turn this place around but I know it can be done**


What seemed to be a great opportunity on the surface actually ended up as a highly disorganized, disjointed and disfunctional operation. From the top down, the culture of Glenaire is what I would describe as toxic. The ED & AD could not be more different.  They have very different values and visions on how they want the facility run and it shows. There is little to no communication between the two but rather a lot of miscommunication and talking about each other to the staff. It feels hostile and is filled with resentment.

Budgets were a huge part of what was communicated as “difficult” to manage and what was identified as something people who were previously in my position had trouble with.  It’s difficult to manage a budget when there were invoices left unpaid from months prior. Vendors were no longer willing to deliver without payment due to this. 

 It was communicated to me that nobody wanted my position, it was a constant revolving door, it was underpaid, I was a puppet to the ED, I was offered the position because nobody was willing to accept the job for as little as they were paying, it went on and on. Employees from other departments on more than one occasion communicated that they were “surprised I came back each day” and “it’s not as bad as it seems”. I found out after starting there that my position was left vacant for 7+ months before I was brought on, something that was not once communicated and I quickly realized why. I was told by a manager that she had been told when my predecessor was being fired before he knew. Things like the aforementioned seemed to be common practice there. Upper management told me nobody was free from being fired and to go ahead and do what I thought best, referring to supervisors who had been there long term and who appeared to work extremely hard. However, when I attempted to write up an employee who was witnessed loudly yelling at and insulting another employee, I was advised not to because the AD “knew she had inappropriate relationships with people and she probably deserved it” The AD told me I was pushed to run the department as my boss wanted.I wasn’t given the autonomy to do it myself on a consistent basis. 

This place is toxic to every employee on every level. I was absolutely miserable. It was only after I left that I was told by multiple other previous employees how awful they thought it to be as well. The residents are the only good thing about it. They welcomed me
with a sweet and genuine warm demeanor. 

Change comes from the top. Unless there has been a mass exodus of upper management, this place will continue to be exactly as it was. I am very much disappointed in a great opportunity that was actually not at al what it was made out to be.  

    

Working at Glenaire as a Certified Nursing Assistant has been a truly rewarding experience. Coming in to see residents awake and happy to start their day is one of the best parts of my job. I’ve learned so much about working with different residents and the importance of teamwork.

Management is excellent—they are always available to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. The workplace culture is extremely positive and open-minded, making it a great environment to work in.

The hardest part of the job is saying goodbye to residents when they leave after recovering. However, the most enjoyable part is seeing their progress and knowing they are well enough to return home.

Overall, I’m very happy working here and appreciate all the benefits and support this job offers!




I am a rehabilitation nurse from 3-11pm. I get about 95% of the admissions from a hospital setting or triage. I am responsible for managing the CNAs and do the medication pass, wound care, labs, IV's, and head to toe assessments. I am a very strong RN to run the unit after administration leaves at 4:30pm. I have to be able think quickly and react professionally. I have a great report with the clients. I take time to listen to their needs. I am a strong clinical RN. The Nurse Practitioner sent me a text and said: "Thank you for all you do. You are an excellent Nurse. I am glad you are here." The hardest part of the job is that I am actually running at times to get all of the items completed on time. The most enjoyable part of the job is forming relationships with the clients. I have learned how important it is to listen and do what I say and always follow through with their needs.

I started Brightspire in 2020! In view of life changes after a year I went prn. However that didn’t stop me from picking up as much time as I could far as covering for vacation days , holidays etc! Brightspire has this way of perfection and it makes you take pride in your work and the company I work for ! Brightspire as a business is very oriented to family as well as making everyone a part of the culture. The residents, staff down to the friendly guards at the gate you can not help but to feel overwhelmingly welcomed ! If you want a loving family to take care of your loved ones or a great place to work , I strongly recommend Brightspire a place where your loved and your voice counts . Oh I’m still there !

Management is horrible they lack communication skills they constantly change schedules without your approval, they have been running short staff for the past year there has been change of weekend supervisor at least 4 or 5 and all have quit due to a lot of stress because weekends are always short, people call out all the time and don't get punish for it, this place is a nice retirement home but inside is not as pretty as the outside, not enough training, they train you on one hall then next day your in another hall that you don't know nothing of, if management were better train how to treat staff it would be a much better environment to work in. There is a lot of great CNAS here but most quit for getting burn out so quick.

I worked here for 6 years before leaving for another job. I have done various jobs here I supervised before stepping down to work as a main worker. The best part about working here was baking you do this job at a comfortable pace and all the baking equipment was awesome you could do alot here.The management was were a little different from what I am use to but we made through the day. 

Some of the co workers did not excel while more responsible workers took up there slack. No proper guidance. All in all good staff to work with. The hardest part about the job was the work load on a daily basis it was to much at times. Baking and the residents were my favorite part of this job.

I worked third shift, and I really did enjoy the safe and comfortable enviroment that was provided. I loved the response of the residents under my care, because they would always ask other co-workers to get me to help them to prepare for bed. Also I enjoyed how other co-workers would always ask me if I wanted something to eat or drink, which I consider good teamwork. I learned that the only way for staff to accomplish their daily tasks is to care for your co-worker so that your co-worker can provide proper nursing care to the residents under our care. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that I have served my residents and family members beyond expectations.

   Thank You.

Knowing that you are valued is what makes a typical work day worth it. Working with the senior community has taught me a great deal of wisdom and valuable life lessons. One aspect that I really appreciate is how my manager always takes the time to listen to my concerns or any needs I may have. It is difficult for me to leave work at the end of the day because I genuinely enjoy working with the residents. The most rewarding part of my job is receiving kind words from the residents and having the satisfaction of knowing that I am making a positive impact in the world.

A typical day at River Landing consisted of running a cashier station and keeping the dining area and self-serving/ordering area cleaned and organized while helping the residents coming in during the dining hours however we could. It was a lovely place to work in terms of a food service job. Customers and coworkers a like were all friendly and easy to work with for the most part. the benefits were great and we got a decent amount of PAL for just an entry level job. We even got extra bonuses like a free turkey every Thanksgiving and Christmas bonus checks funded by the Residents. It is great place to work overall.

After six months on the job, I am overjoyed I decided to work at Glenaire. The atmosphere is lovely! The residents are extremely kind and welcoming to employees and it feels like one big family! I inherited a team that has a heart for serving and they make me proud every day. Many employees have been at Glenaire for years and this is a great sign that it is a great place to work. EVS is a great team and everyone works hard while having a lot of fun! Glenaire has great benefits and perks like discounted food and use of the gym and pool and I love it here!
