Navion Senior Solutions

The management was poor the year I worked there. People would come and go. They would hire just about anyone that came flying in asking for a job. Even hired and made a person Supervisor in charge when he consistently perform poor care on residents, not to mention sleep on the clock or go flirt with whatever CNA was in C Hall that night. Way too much drama between employees. Even when you try your hardest to not get sucked into it YOU WILL. There will always be one person that spreads a nasty rumor about you and the drama begins. Management shows favorism for sure. Med techs show favorism with some cnas. You wanna know what really sucks? That even when you’re minding your own business trying to do your job right while caring for the residents, the residents will ask about rumors that they’ve heard about you or another person that works in the facility. MED TECHS AND CNAS (not all but most) will go in and gossip with the residents like it’s part of their job to do so! You can’t catch a break. Don’t even plan to ask for part time because they ARE short staffed year round and WILL make you a full time employee whether you like it or not. The manager or whatever he is in the kitchen acts like he owns the whole place. CNAs are there to assist residents, their priority is TO MAKE SURE RESIDENTS ARE SAFE. Not go around and pick up every dirty dish and particle in the dining room. And ohhhh you better leave the dining area near clean or else This man will throw a fit of rage. Not to mention, you won’t get paid nearly enough for your own job, let alone working as a waiter/waitress in the dining room during breakfast, lunch and dinner and doing the majority of housekeeping’s job. Don’t let the smiles and fake warm welcomes at orientation and interviews get you, it’s all a facade, they’re desperate for employees and will fake being perfect until you’re already in. I could keep going on about all the horrors at Mebane Ridge but you be the judge. I’d run far away if I was you though, that’s exactly what I did when I left.

A typical day at work consisted of having to navigate a cultural system better suited for a county jail, fit with management informants spreading falsehoods among  the higher ups.  What I learned is basically not to trust a single person at this place, they will throw you under the bus just as quick as they will look at you. Management puts on a good front acting like they care, yet they truly exhibit anything but such an attitude, their cold actions speak otherwise.  Oscar-winning performances, these should be.  The workplace culture is synonymous with middle school culture, angry hormonal poor attitude teenagers were concerned about passing the buck whenever things go wrong than accepting responsibility.  Team members were concerned about sneaking outside to get high.  Medical technicians pre-popping medications. The hardest part of the job was trying to keep your mental self together while all of the chaos was in folding around you, Innoway putting on an act yourself so that way maybe getting caught in the hurricane that is social life at Mebane Ridge Assisted Living could be prolonged just a little bit.  This environment  is textbook for cronyism.  Most enjoyable part of the job was when you clocked out and finally left.

The staff at Priddy Manor are irreplaceable. Everyone works together as a team to give the residents the best care and the staff members genuinely care about the residents. We go above and beyond what the resident needs.  We all work together as a team, but most importantly we are a family. A healthy, hard-working family that gets the job done and gets it done correctly. Our days are physically and mentally exhausting, the pay is low and it is hard to get time off of work.  A typical day at work consists of preparing the dining room for breakfast, awaking and dressing/ toileting residents in order to take them to breakfast. In our Alzheimer;s/ dementia unit, residents are mainly skilled and extensive assist. We have four rounds, along with four-six showers daily, laundry and the many surprises that occur throughout the day. The best part of this job is knowing that the residents are taking care of and the relationships you build with the residents and the staff members. The hardest part is the physical labor, the low pay and the lack of time with your own family.

Extremely short staffed. VERY disproportionate staff:client ratio. Management will offer bonuses to get employees to come in and never pay them. Director walks right passed you and certain residents. I do not recommend unless you need something quick and don't mind the constant work. Residents are very sweet and show the most compassion to staff because they are aware of high turnover rate and how staff is treated. You are not trained sell which in return leads to improper care of residents. Lots of favortism shown. Someone needs to come clean house because administration/management is terrible and they can tell you themselves! Pay is decent but for amount of work expected, you feel underpaid. There are times you are so overwhelmed that you don't get a lunch break. I never got any of my 15minute breaks. And although you may or may not take a 30 minute break, best believe it still comes out your pay. This place truly has potential but with the wrong people in charge, it will only get worse. 
AND management discusses personal business of staff !

The pay is not enough to cover all your bills, especially if you have kids. They Play favorites with employees. The HR manager is NOT your friend no matter how much she acts like it. You can not trust her at all. The housekeeping supervisor is always gone. There are NO benefits. No insurance whatsoever. So if you do happen to catch something from one of the residents, you’re screwed because they don’t even pay enough to cover doctor bills on top of all your other bills. They let in residents that need way more care and attention than the employees can give them. It’s an ASSISTED LIVING HOME but most of the people desperately need to be in a nursing home. They are ALWAYS short staffed, probably because people realize how horrible these people are to work for and leave, constantly. The residents are great and are so sweet. Some of the girls we great to work with also.

I worked at Deerfield for a total of 8 months and enjoyed every bit of time shared with the lovely residents. However I did not enjoy time spent with management and other coworkers. The pay was terrible! They paid their “most valued employees” less than $12 an hour but could buy all new furniture for the entire facility! And forget overtime pay because it was not worth the hours put in!  They hired more PCAs (personal care assistants) than they did CNAs. The PCAs are required to take a week long course watching videos and taking two-five 10 question packets and a week of training where other PCAs try and teach them skills  Many of my coworkers didn’t give the residents the proper care they deserved nor treated the CNAs with respect  management never helps but expects everything to be done  They are always short staffed and it’s dirty and smells all the time. The sign on bonus is a huge joke! 0/10 do not recommend! They should be shut down!

For the year and a half I worked here, the communication between upper management and lower staff was very strained. It was very difficult to gain full time status or benefits and took me a while to do so. Management was very unprofessional and used inappropriate language referring to their staff on multiple occasions. There was also no sense of confidentiality between management. Definitely a very gossipy place with little respect for workers. There are very little advancement opportunities. On the other side, they are flexible with your schedules and do not reprimand if you call out. It gives great customer service experience.  It is a great job for a student who is fully supported at home or a part time job for weekends or nights.

Generally , the resident's day start s around 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning . This time CNA begin to get residents out of bed and get the ready for breakfast 7:30 or 8 am after that CNA will prepared for showers . Meanwhile Med Tech will be pass out their daily medication I learned that the resident needs more love and care because they don't offend see their family at the end of the day you become their families. Management Team we have now are hard worker they make sure the resident and their families are happy and feel welcome. The hardest part about this job is getting attached to the residents they become grandma or grandpa and when they pass or move out it hard to see them go . I enjoy my job specially working In memory care even when we not have a  good day some how they still fine ways to make them love them even more

Navion, and the leadership team I've been lucky enough to work with over the last year, have set the bar for any business I would be willing to work for. They really care about the employees and residents, and will make all decisions for the company based off of that, not the profits. Overall it's been a pleasure to work with these people over the last year. I just hope that I can continue to better myself within the company, and take advantage of the wonderful opportunities they offer. They are willing to invest so much into their employees. This leadership team truly deserve  nothing but great success because of their efforts. I only hope I can continue to be a part of that.
