PLEASANT VIEW CENTER

My typical day can range between 6-8 hours depending on the caseload coming in. I can have anywhere between 6-13 patients a day depending on caseload and how much the patients are needing for therapy and each treatment tends to range anywhere between 30-65 minutes. When the caseload is low it can be difficult to get my full hours during the week. On occasion I am sent to another Genesis facility to fill my hours. 

I have learned many different therapy interventions, and how a rehab dynamic works. I have also learned a lot about different diagnoses. 

The most difficult part of my job would have to be when my patients pass away since I do tend to work with the geriatric population but besides that I would have to say the poor follow through for interventions I set up for people so they can function on their own as much as possible. I tend to see people that are part of the LTC unit come back on caseload because their interventions I set up weren't followed through and they have experienced a functional decline. 

The most enjoyable part of my job is how rewarding this career is, I get to help people which is what I have wanted to do my whole life. I love being a part of someone's healing process. I also love learning new things! I am not only a teacher, I am also a student and I strive to learn new things everyday.

Dirty facility where when you work you have no help from other nurses or management. You’ll have two full halls of patients as a nurse with multiple interventions and heavy medication pass. You’re passing medications till almost 11 if you’re in day shift and when you come on the night shift staff, who will work to do the least amount of anything possible, try to manage you and tell your staff what wasn’t done even though the staff has worked nonstop. Aides would call out or when they do show up they want to work as little as possible. I’ve never been around staff who found it so hard to change a brief and just collect the trash in the room but apparently that’s difficult for some. On day shift I was sending out many residents from the facility to the hospital for changing health statuses. 

I have not worked here even a year and have seen many staff leave.  There is no loyalty to the staff by the management.  Many of the staff were longtime employees.  I have also seen some of the "benefits" pulled from the employees with little to no warning.
 Some days are manageable, if staffing is sufficient.  Other days are difficult and time management is nearly impossible.  The staff in charge of new admissions do not take in to consideration the time required for this process and the interruption to the normal day's work flow.  Some days the unit can have upwards of 6 new admissions within a 6 hr period.  This can be unrealistic and unsafe in some situations.

8 + hrs some staff was allowed to come in 15 to 25 min late due to personal issues

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not anything to put here.  Short staffed under paid

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not enough staff, un reliable agency help.  Pressure for more admits when you can’t care for the ones there

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, good when they want something, and a stab in the back when they don’t get their way.  First to throw someone else under the bus in front of them

Almost took my license because work load versus what to do for patients. They have no idea how healthcare works.Do not take your family here, unless you really hate him/her or he/she was mean to you. Your loved one does not have anyone to watch them, no staff, mostly outsourced from out of states.

I would not suggest you come to work at this facility unless you want to risk losing your license. This place has consistent unsafe nurse practice. People do not know or follow Genesis Policy and Procedure. The residents are rude, unappreciative and ungrateful. It’s very hard to stay positive in this very toxic environment.

If I could have rated a zero I would have. The lack of care in this facility is unbelievable. I was only there a short time due to this fact. I brought the negligence up to management and was basically given a shoulder shrug. The fact this place is still allowed to care for people is wrong.

Questionable procedures and serious lack of communication. Lots of turnover. Employee morale is very very low. No systems in place to mitigate risk and also provide staff with appropriate action to take. Invest in leaders and provide targeted training
