MeadowWood Hospital

I have worked for Meadowood for almost 5 years and have seen it decline. Management is null and void. Groups are barely ran. The place is disgusting. There’s always full trash bins spilling out onto the floor. There is no true Covid protocol in place. They had the audacity to offer us a pizza party for vaccination when we received $0 Covid hazard pay, nor does management let you know if you have been exposed to covid. Staff show up when and where they please. There is only one amazing coordinator and I tHink they take advantage of the poor dude. Paper charting and five days a week work weeks. You’d think they would cross over from the dark ages. No room for career growth. Almost always never enough staff and management never steps in to give a hand they just hide out in their office. High turnover rates. Small amount of food for patients including stale sandwiches for dinner on the weekends.  Roaches in kitchen and patient rooms. Constant codes because of patient boredom, especially on the adolescent unit. I can’t wait to get out of here. 

They talk a good game but their actions tell the story - all that matters is the bottom line. Exceeding their bed license is the norm here. Licensed for 100 patients but we normally have 115 or more with 3 beds in rooms sized for 2 beds. We've had patients sleeping in group rooms, offices and even on mattresses on the floor in a hallway. I've seen patients who were scheduled for discharge held a day or two longer because their insurance would was still paying and the very top leadership didn't want them discharged until their insurance ran out. The building is falling apart around us and the company never does more than the absolute bare minimum needed to keep the doors open and the money coming in. People are walking out of here almost daily and that includes directors who are not going to subject themselves to an impossible situation. If you want to be over-worked, under paid and have no appreciation from leadership then come join us. As soon as I'm done with school, I'm out of here!

This place will burn you out. The facility does not have goals in place for the benefit of the patient, and much less for the employee. Decent pay, but you will be doing other peoples jobs. Everyone has their agenda. Management is about rules, admin is about filling all the beds, house keeping cleaning as little possible, techs doing as little possible, and the nurses giving their work to everyone. No consistency on the units. I doubt anyone is fully qualified to do actual mental health care. This place is pretty much a day care for the homeless, addicts, and some psych. Is a decent temp job until you find something better. Just be careful not to get hurt, because admin and management will blame you and point out all your mistakes. Rather than foster a well-trained safe work environment. Working here as a temp for $70 was not worth it.

Upon my arrival for the duration of the month, that I was a housekeeper, they’re lack of infection control, and general set of principles and guidelines for housekeeping was nonexistent. It was very difficult to work in that kind of environment where people do not care to do things the right way instead they rather cut corners and collect a paycheck. It’s sad that these patients are paying for this kind of lack of basic compassion and care to do the right job so that they can heal in a clean and safe environment, everyone that works there except walks around all in their feelings every single day using yesterday’s trauma for today’s perspectives is always going to lead people to suffering and how can a suffering person help another suffering person. It’s sad and those patients deserve better. 

Stay away from this place if you value safety and actually helping your patients. This company cares only about profit with no regard for their staff or patients’ safety. The building is disgusting. Administration is clueless. It is scary the lack of professionalism and decency among staff and towards patients. Company provides no training or professional development. Staffing is dangerously low. Work environment is chaotic and disorganized. Equipment is outdated. Leadership is profit not patient care focused. I believe they truly do not wish for patients to do well in order to encourage recidivism and continue to profit off their illness. It's really sad due to the nature of this field and the good they could actually be doing for those in need.

The work environment was hostile where one would view it as survival of the fittest, meaning only the STRONG survive. Strong in work ethic, tough skin regarding maintaining work and personal boundaries with staff members, especially the men.

 Note: if you are good looking you will be a target in the workplace. The patients were fine. The staff were unprofessional, unpleasant, rude, and underpaid. 

Management had their own problems. 

Solution: increase pay rate, fire existing staff, replace with quality staffing and that is half the battle.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the staff become great friends. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some of the staff put more effort into targeting others than doing their jobs. Demands from facility leadership and Corporate are ever-increasing while workforce is made smaller and smaller; expectation to do more with less. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile, cut-throat at best. If not friends with current CEO and CNO, then you will be a target. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constant meetings that take 5-6 hours of work day, but constantly expected to complete all tasks in remaining time. VERY high stress.

Do not get a job at this place. Terrible leadership. HR is unprofessional and rude. So many safety concerns for staff and patients. Company is for profit so insurance reimbursement is the number 1 thing that matters when it comes to patient care and how long treatment will be. Minimal after care planning so the same patients return without even getting the help they need. Any mental health professional should look for a position elsewhere if you’re trying to find a place that values employees and cares about patients. 

I work per diem, usually 2 times/week to take care of any nutritional assessments for patients who are nutritional risk in some shape or form.  I have learned how to deal with all kinds of people and situations.  My co-workers are good, hard-working individuals who strive to take care of the patients' to their best abilities.  The hardest part of my job is seeing some of the patients' going through very difficult times in their lives.  The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to help these individuals choose a healthier lifestyle to optimize their health.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing! It is an absolute horrible place to work. Poor management and poor working conditions.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor management. No support. No leadership. Not welcoming. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor! Unethical. Not safe (internal and external environment is NOT SAFE)!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very very very stressful. Poorly managed by executive management as well as upper management.
