Newhaven Court at Lindwood

I've been there for 6 years and even though the pay is reasonable, they offer full-time plus overtime, they are very short-staffed and managers are sometimes unwilling to help out on the floor when there is no one to work the shift. Usually you would have 5 people on the floor, many times lately we'd work 3 people and theres 80/90 people to take care of. Its a fight to get vacations and request any personal day(as rare as they come). They do not do sick days, as they got rid of that couple years back. They do have certain incentives like free meals and send you home with meals, or couple dollars more for picking up hours. The residents are lovely though they have been my joy , they helped make it bearable when managers would hassle me. I think I was okay with that place until I got bullied by a manager and I was never appologized to and nothing was done and it continued, after 6 years , I decided to quit. I was also forced to sacrifice a day off in order to keep my weekend off, even though its required to work every other  weekend. I felt that was ridiculous because I spent 5 years rarely calling off and they finally decided to take my weekend away unless I pick up. I was u willing to work any overtime and extra days because it's really stressful working very short-staffed. I wanted to manage to have a personal life and not live where I work, as my family is important to me. All in all , I just wanted to be open about the work environment. 

This is a company that believes in promoting from within.  Most of the leadership team in this community started in an hourly position.  I feel appreciated for what i do.  There are long and busy days, but if you are a hard worker and a team player, those days go by fast.  Our management team can be found working the floor right along side the hourly staff when needed.  All are approachable and there to listen.  I have chosen to stay here all these  years because we are a family.  Just like any other company, we have had many storms.  But we weather those storms together.  You don't find that many places.  Something to keep in mind when reading these reviews is that the negative reviews are from past employees.  And those employees are in the past for a reason and they sure don't tell you both sides to their story.

I have worked for many organizations throughout Westmorland County and nothing can compare to Newhaven Court at Lindwood. From the moment I walked into the community 7.5 years ago I new that I have found my forever job. I was greeted and introduced to many people as I was waiting to complete an application. I was hired as a cook the next day and worked my way to a management postion. Working here at Newhaven Court has been the best 7.5 years of my life. Newhaven Court at Lindwood is  a great place to work.  I have met so many wonderful people alot of people with good work ethics. During our recent pandemic Newhaven Court has helped each one of our team members by providing them and there families with meals as well as Newhaven giving free haircuts to our residents.  This is why I love working here at Newhaven Court.

a typical day at work when i am an aide is doing laundry, answer call bells, doing rounds to check on residents. do nightly chores. i have learned a lot while working in a assited living facility. to respect and honor the elderly. management, they are awesome. they are on top of eveything, when something is not right they fix it right away. I love my co-workers, they are all awesome. We are a great team. the hardest part of my job is when a resident passes away. i have been there long enough to fall in love with each and eveyone in there own special ways.. The most enjoyable part of my job is i get to see the residents. when i am off a night or a weekend i just wonder what they did today. i love them to see them smile. Love when we all joke around. There isnt a day that goes bye i think about each one of them.
