Pillar of Cedar Valley

I have been employed at Pillar of Cedar Valley for just under a year now. When I started working, I was welcomed and made to feel at home. That fades away with most employers over time. However, with Pillar of Cedar Valley this continues to be true every day. We have a great team regardless of what position they hold. Each and every person who works here really makes a difference in the lives of our residents and enhances the lives of each other. 

When I started, I was very nervous because of the all the things you hear about the nursing home out in the community. I am glad I took the chance and accepted the position. The community perception is completely wrong and based off of the previous years of doing business before new ownership. This is a new company who is compassionate and caring for the residents and staff. 

Pillar of Cedar Valley has grown leaps and bounds since they took over the company. There has been many improvements and it does not appear to be an end in sight to getting better and better. 

If you are looking for a work home, do not hesitate to come. You will be glad you did.

I like PIllar because it gives people a chance to learn different things each and every day. If you want a change of career here  you are able to do so to try and find your self. they work around yoiur schedule ecspecially for family. Pillar tries to give each person a second chance and hear their story. when i first started here i did not have a car and two of the workers here offered me a ride to and from work . They are very friendly here. And if you grew up in a closed space and are afraid to ask someone for something the staff here makes it ok to ask. they make me feel supported. This is a second home to me. We spend alot of time with the residents and get to hear their stories and it really inspires me to want to continue what i want to do not only here but in the community. We have an amazing manager. She wakes up every  morning to come pick me up and bring me to work. I am forever grateful for my manager and PIllar of Cedar Vallley.

Working at Pillar of Cedar Valley has shown me how to care for a diverse group of clients ranging from those with intellectual disabilities to persistent mental illness to those with long term nursing needs and those with skilled nursing services. Each day I am learning new techniques with clients in a challenging yet rewarding environment. Schedules are flexible for staff. The most enjoyable part of my job is to treat residents like family and in return be treated as if I were family. I feel supported by my management team in decisions made to grow our team. Our corporation expands our facility to meet our growing needs as well as give back to the community.

Management and company representative are unaware of and don't care what employees are expected to do, information will change on a dime, unprofessional, cannot be trusted. The representative from the head company only sees $ and not the residents-as if the residents' don't exist-their feelings and lives don't matter. The description for their job openings is laughable, misleading and dishonest. There is/never has been enough staff for the needs of the special population who live there. Turnover is insane since the takeover from the county and they do not value the employees they do have. Everyone is overworked and under paid. They treat non - management staff with total disregard and belittlement, but with fake pleasantries. Resident care and quality of life is not a priority.

I started working at Pillar of Cedar Valley as an Activities Assistant 3 months ago and still don't regret my decision! My co-workers are super supportive of me and people I would actually consider friends, and the management team is friendly and supportive as well. As an employee, you are not just another head, but valued as a person with dignity. As such, free meals and snacks and other events are pretty common for staff. They are always super flexible when I need time off, as well. The job is sometimes pretty demanding, but the clients make it all worth it. It's super easy to work hard and be satisfied with your work when you see the impact you have on these wonderful people!
