New Perspective

NP was not a good work environment. Staff was always unhappy; you could just feel the tension walking into any room. Many caregivers did not care about their jobs and always were seen sitting on their personal devices in the main areas and eating fast food in the common areas. No structure, and no follow through. The Nurses barely had any support when problems would arise, as they had no back up, although they were told someone was always there to support them. 
A typical day at work included hearing about multiple family concerns and trying to maintain your relationship with them, due to management not providing any support in the matter. In addition, the care team manager refuses to hear you out on the family concerns and what you observed care staff doing. 
Cleaning up after the medication passers and getting rid of all the medications they forgot to give, was not uncommon. No matter what awful things you saw, you don't dare telling anybody, because it will come back on you in some way. 
The workplace culture made me really dislike coming to work because everyone was always negative, and I always felt uncomfortable around the rowdy, loud staff. Caregivers were hired even with a bad background check, so the attitude was horrendous at such a nice facility. Nothing was ever reported, like when companies always say, "see something, say something." When you do, it almost seems frowned upon, and you will get your hand slapped for it. I would never work at this facility again. 

I am the type of employee that will work 5 shifts in 3 days and have done it for this company on multiple occations. I was brought back to work for this company. On my first day back I didn't have a number to clock in or a number to pass meds and be able to record them in the computer. I then proceeded to work 7 or 8 shifts in 5 days for this company. Didn't get paid my overtime or for the right amount of days worked. 
Because I didn't have my own clock-in or number to pass meds for the first week and half I had to use the DoN's on the day that we were changing over from one way of passing meds to another way and they were updating the computer system. For some reason my med passes weren't log in the computer system and this is my fault and I got wrote up for it. I had worked for this company for over a year and have never had a problem with my work ethic or my usage of the computer system. I was then fired because I was told I wasn't doing my job correctly. If I had of followed my first mind and taken pictures of my finding other med passers not passing meds and leaving them in the cart I could have forstalled my firing but because I was going by company policy and didn't bring my phone to work. I couldn't prove that my DoN was unjustly firing me and and not the right person. 

Don't work for this company. They are the worst.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The residents are bye far the best part of the job and they are the only thing

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being treated as 2nd to none because when it comes to voicing concerns or asking questions it is not always wanted to good friends quit after a week of being treated badly they are not always open to new ideas 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I left it was so stressful at that place that I end up getting sick because of my stress levels some advice I think would help others if you have any disability or mental health struggles then this might not be a good place for myself I had several extremely bad panic attacks to were I feel like I can't breathe.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I am working by myself washing all the dishes,setting tables, cleaning all the tables,serving all the drinks,serving all the food,taking all the meal orders for about 26 residents and doing the orders for breakfast, lunch,  and dinner for everyone resident also working overtime with no break and being over worked

I've worked here for a few years now and I really enjoy it. They recognize hard work and dedication. They have created new positions to give employees opportunities to grow with the company. Take on more responsibility, get paid more. That fair. The kids now a days want to get paid for doing less. It's the lazy people who don't want to work that make our jobs stressful, not the company. The people that don't show up for work or show up a half hour late and then complain they aren't being recognized. You have to work! Do you job! If you do, they do see it. These kids complaining they need to make more money, yet they are the first to call in with a headache. Or they want to get paid as if they have 20 years' experience. No Way! I've worked hard for my experience., you shouldn't get paid the same as me. You kids have to earn your way, not have it given to you for doing nothing. Start at the bottom and prove yourself. 
Anyways, New Perspective is a good place to work if you actually have work ethic and want to work your way up in a company. If you want to be lazy and not do anything, it's not the place for you. 

I have been a cna for years and have worked at a few different local assisted living facilities. The past 4 years have been hit hard with staff shortages in the service industry especially healthcare. There is so much competition for good quality care staff and it has led to job hopping (those looking for the best pay for the least amount of responsibilities) The balance of power has shifted due to the high demand for staff and there you have the vicious cycle of healthcare staff shortages. 
NP is not a bad place to work and a few of the managers and the ED are super but the difference I notice here is many of the residents have unrealistic expectations considering the current state of staffing challenges. Many come from the entitled circles wanting top notch services and have probably always have being catered to but we can only do so much and we don’t receive top notch pay, there’s only so much nitpicking from high demanding residents and families a person is willing to take. 


I applied for New Perspective after working in the healthcare field for 2 years supporting vulnerable adults. Training was very easy as work with this company was similar to my other place of employment. Benefits were offered for even part-time employees (which I was hired as) and was why I took the job as my company did not offer benefits or incentives. 2 months into my employment I realized this company is as micromanaged as the company I was hoping to get away from. I overheard management gossiping about and laughing about staff and residents, pay is very low here as I was making $6 more an hour at my previous place of employment, and communication is terrible. I’m continuously scheduled hours outside of my given schedule upon hire which conflicts with my other job I informed management I was working. I’ve already developed such a great connection and relationships with my residents, but this is definitely another job where I’m leaving my bosses. Would not recommend this company.

Caring for the residence was so rewarding and heart filling!  It was a very hurtful place to work. They never ever gave me steady hours.  One week I would only be scheduled for eight or 12 hours. The next week I would have 24. If I was lucky I would have 32. I could never count on my bills getting paid. I felt like I was just a fill in for others who could not come into work. The gossip and the rumors were overbearing. It did not matter how  good of a person I was, bighearted, genuine, kind to the residence and the employees, so much was dumped on me that was very hurtful and very unfair and made it very hard for me to enjoy my job any longer. It did not seem like they showed much value to valuable workers. I spoke with them four times about the need for more hours that are consistent. They never took that seriously even though I have five kids to care for. And there was never any disciplinary action for those who were starting all of the trouble in harming others

I worked at this facility for years and when new Perspective came in things went well, until they brought in a new executive director. The residents were amazing and understanding, but management would push their employees to the limit. I was working long days every time I worked, and they would guilt me into working even when I couldn’t. The managers were NEVER there, and if there was a problem, they would leave it up to staff to figure it out amongst themselves. It was extremely unprofessional and very overwhelming for all the staff members. Caregivers were very gossipy and would talk badly about each other to other people who work in the facility. Management was very gossipy as well, and they did not seem to care about their staff at all. At one point one of my coworkers reached out to HR about an issue with their clock in/out system and never heard a response, plus the ED would just say reach out to HR if their was an issue with the system. 
I loved the residents, but in the end I couldn’t do it anymore. 

So starting off working here it was presented as a fun, carefree work place but once your on the floor you kind of on your own.

The facility itself is beautiful but that doesn't mean a thing to it's functionality. Within my own employment here I have seen at least 10 people fired and 30+ people quit and I think those are generous numbers.

Most of the time management keeps a nieve attitude to problems that arrive and only really handle something once a resident or their family complains.

To finalize, they model it as a mansion and expect you to bend over in your hands and knees to please the management and the residents. I wouldn't recommend the job to anyone who's looking for long term but if you truly do need a job or maybe if your ready to challenge you patience, ethics, and possibly just yourself welcome...

Worked here 6 months and built great relationships with the residents but coworkers and management id where it falls short. Constant drama and breaking the rules and carelessness among the employees and the management is absolutely terrible. My own boss would sit in the office for hours doing mostly nothing on a day to day basis making me do absolutely everything, which by the way he spoke with his own words too me, i can do whatever i want cause i have you to do the work for me. Its all of management that is terrible though, they gossip and talk badly of employees in an unnecessary fashion as well as if you make them mad they will all team up against you and treat you unfairly. This place seriously needs help as even the RESIDENTS who LIVE there dislike the management. Its disgusting. I did learn a lot and took that knowledge with me but thats because I did everything myself.  Not to mention the pay for my position is the lowest I've ever seen in the field.
