Ohman Family Living

Initially, I really loved this job. Seemed like a wonderful company that truly cared for their residents and employees. I felt impactful while helping the residents. Then the honeymoon period ended. Management has no clue how to actually manage people. You always have to check your paycheck, they will always “accidentally” short hours, not pay shift bonuses, and charge random fees. The work load is impossible and unreal at times... largely because they have a turnover rate like nothing I’ve ever seen. Don’t believe me? Notice they are always urgently hiring... ad never comes down. And I’ve seen them not bat an eyelash as decade long employees raise concerns, then resign. I’ve seen new employees be called “tattle tales” for raising issues about resident care. And the biggest problem? I’ve never in my life been made to feel like such a total idiot on a daily basis. Everyone, including fellow employees will treat you like a total idiot in a sort of perverse “stuff rolls downhill” sort of way. You lose all semblances of work life balance because 1, they are always losing people so you will always be short staffed (usually stuck with 8 residents with very low self-care ability), and 2, you will always feel so low because of how you are mentally beaten up every day. And lastly, management will give you these Super Bowl halftime worthy speeches, but I promise you, it’s all lip service and you will never be supported by them unless you kiss boots and never ever disagree with them or their procedures. 

I was trained by Ohman Family Living at Holly for my STNA license. I got to know my coworkers through orienting the first few weeks as an aide, and everyone is very willing to help you learn the facility and residents! You are paired with someone each shift and they walk you through the responsibilities. At this facility, the nursing staff, dietary staff, and therapy department all work together to create the best environment for the residents. From the way the rooms look to the empathy of the staff, this really does feel like a home for them! 
The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to make a difference in the residents' lives. Every shift I feel that I helped the residents have a better day and I have helped the nurses and my fellow nursing assistants. 
I would recommend this job to anyone who is looking for patient care experience, who wants a fun job getting to know the residents, and who feels good after helping others. 

Depending on your role it's relatively an easy occupation but as all things do, it comes with it's downsides. So I can't speak for all coworkers, but I can speak for some. They tend to be overly negative, complain, and treat the residents poorly. There's not a day that goes by that I don't hear something negative from a coworker. Some are rude, unhelpful, and will talk behind your back. You have to learn to ignore it or you won't survive at this job. Also- I don't think this's necessarily a bad thing, but it's very laid-back. Professionalism is not a quality this facility prides itself on. If it wasn't for a few lousy coworkers who complain about every microscopic thing, this place would be better. Otherwise helpful and professional HR, flexible hours and call offs, amazing residents, etc. 

Interview and orientation process was easy. Once you get on the floor you’re basically on your own. I worked there for about two weeks and the poor resident care was enough for me. Constant irritation when it came to the residents. Speaking resident names in other resident rooms. I witnessed a cna sharing combs on multiple residents, a residents foly pored onto the floor in the dining hall (carpet) and they threw a towel over it stomped on it and went about their day. Residents begging to get help to the restroom and wasn’t helped. Residents having to wheel to the hall to asked to be changed. So short staffed even with agency and 20+ LPN students. The poor attitude and poor resident care was enough for me. Start at $15, without 30 day notice they pay you minimum wage. Wouldn’t recommend sending anyone there!! 

was ok when i started, not  a good, but needed a job and it is easy to get hired there.   No leadership, no one helps you here.  administrater and don at briar never come out of there offices.  Other management  only come out when you do something wrong and then they call you out in front of everyone and humilate you.  coworkers and managers are rude and not not helpful to each other.  staff arguing all the time, even in front of the residents and talk back alot. everybody does things differently and they don't follow rules, do what you want.  some of the nurses are helpful but mostly like to backstab each other.  managers d0 too.  no teamwork.  if you need money the OT is good because the pay is lousy.    lots of turnover. don't alwlays have what you need to get your job done and when you ask, its one of those it's not my job places.  

If you’re interested in no privacy, no work and home life balance or SEPARATION. This is the job for you. 
I truly felt i could dedicate myself to this company and community in the beginning of my start here. There are wonderful people who truly don’t know their value in this company but i hope one day they do and move forward. 
Homecare was my passion in my nursing career until ohman family living.  I have now learned why this position was available, turned over multiple times and genuinely will never succeed due to POOR pushover management, no confidentiality or privacy in and out of the work place and above all discrimination for medical diagnosis and treatment. 
If you are not a dedicated christian, married into or with the last name of Ohman, you will set yourself up for disaster here. 

Staffing is terrible. Always understaff. They also seem to hired non experienced workers,  temporary CNA, to set up for failure.. it  would be a wonderful place to work, if staffing wasn't so short, I think everybody would be must happier if there's more staffing, even the managers. I believe that's why the staff is nasty and rude and the managers because they're frustrated.I understand with covid-19 staffing would be short but there's no excuse for treating their staff very terribly that's taken sacrifices under the pandemic. I will never want to work at Holly's again. I hope the residents will receive the help and needs that they deserve..



It’s heartbreaking to see the low staff-to-patient ratios that negatively effected the residents. You can tell it’s all about the money for the owners - no regard for the patients at all. And the dietary management (whom I was working under) is absolutely verbally and emotionally abusive. You needed to submit time off (just a day or few hours even) 6 weeks in advance and couldn’t even be sure they’d allow it. I love helping residents and making people smile. But the management made it impossible to stay. 

Lots of promises, but orientation is very minimal. Some of the staff assigned to orient have poor attitudes towards training and in general. STNAs often can’t hear you because they have ear buds in either playing music or on the phone. Most notable was their policy is to pay minimum wage for all hours worked unless you give a full 30 day notice. I think enforcing a policy like that speaks a lot about an organizations view of employees and shows they try to bully employees to stay in a poorly staffed job. 

Employees not treated equally.  Some employees set their schedules while others (even more senior) are expected to fill in around them. Pay is not equal. Senior employees paid less than new hires! Minimal sick/ vacation time in first 2 years.  Always short staffed and asked to stay over or pick up extra days. High patient to provider ratio. Administrator out of touch with employee needs. The only positive is the direct care staff. Best STNA's!
