Pleasant View Communities

Current employees and management are too burnt out and disconnected to be active in efforts to improve the place. There are deeper issues with work culture and company structure that throwing new staff at wont fix. 

New staff won't have their questions or concerns addressed because current staff are either too disinterested to care or clueless new hires themselves. Everything is answered with "someone else probably knows" or "thats just how its done".  Supervisors are sometimes so disconnected from the staff that they can't differentiate between actual company employees and agency staff. Get comfortable with nicknames because the supervisors won't remember yours. 

Negative and problematic behaviors from residents are ignored or accepted as normal. Company culture allows residents to view care staff as "the help" and they are treated accordingly. This indifference and sometimes endorsement of the unreasonable expectations of residents can put care professionals licenses and careers at risk. Complaints or issues will be escalated  to upper management without staff being addressed or made aware at any point.

Management don't know who you are, supervisors don't know how to lead, coworkers don't know how to be a team, and residents don't know why you wont just follow every command they give you. Overall, nobody knows anything, especially why anyone would want to work here. They are short staffed for a reason. 

Staff is very friendly and easy to work with. Management is fairly young but motivated and fair in each department. I have not seen any staff terminated that didn't deserve it due to laziness, poor work ethic or attendance. Right now they have some of the best employees that I've seen in each department. (Nursing, Maintenance, Dietary, Housekeeping, Personal Care, etc.) Nursing managers are great and very approachable. They will treat you really well as long as you are a good employee. Maintenance has a great group of guys who are so helpful and take great care of everything. Housekeeping runs a tight ship but are a close group and keep the place looking great especially compared to most other places I've seen. Overall things have gotten so much better in recent years starting from the top down. Nursing is a tough department at any facility to keep all positions full but they are trying their best to bring in new staff without lowering standards and settling for just any CNA's or nurses. I've seen some beautiful facilities with some below average staff but not at Pleasant View.

I was offered a position and accepted it. After a few weeks of waiting to start and getting my physical completed they called me 3 days prior to my start date and Stated there was some miscommunication and left my position I was filling, open and filled the position again. This person they offered my position to apparently had higher qualifications than I and they made a decision to boot me and choose the other person. All after I accepted the offer and signed documentation for employment FIRST! I was in contact with HR the entire time I was waiting to start. 
They did not honor my job offer or me as a nurse. They did not care they were putting me out of a job or insurance. 
Something does NOT add up and I can’t believe a company would do this to a person. I had turned down other offers while waiting to start also. Losing out on other opportunities all because they don’t have their stuff together. Just Beware!
NOT a company I would ever consider working for again!

I want to start off by saying I absolutely love the residents there. When I started working there several years ago this was a very nice place to work. I felt valued and comfortable in my position.  Things went drastically downhill a little over a year ago when they got a new administrator. Residents dont have their own opinions or say anymore, neither do the employees. It's so sad. It's almost like everybody is under a spell and if you don't follow or think like the administrator does, you're fired. You cannot talk to the HR department the CEO or the vice president they are all In Cahoots with each other. It's just so sad so many good employees have been fired to no fault of their own. I hope things change for the better at Pleasant View, solely for these poor residents that constantly question where employees are that have been there for years that are no longer with them, that they have grown to love.

i worked here for a year and some months  , i loved my residents dearly but management was always the problem, they would never listen to any cna's opinion's even if it was a great asset for the team since we are the first on hands with the residents. The nurses were great and always helped us out but there were times where there would only be 2-3 aids on the floor with up to 12 residents each. Management is the worst in this case. they never cared about anyone .. they would sit in the office and chit chat instead of helping when we were short staff. I would never return here for work. and yes we did get paid break but there were SO MANY days where we would not even get a break due to being so short staff, i remember eating my sandwich while carting because there was just no time to sit for a break

Worked there 1 1/2 months.  Fell ill and went to Urgent Care.  Was told to take the time to get better only to be FIRED when I returned to work.  No warnings.  Nothing.  Missed 4 days total. Supervisor sat there and smugly asked me if I wanted to see the Employee Handbook which said missing 4 days in probationary period is grounds for termination.  They had no problems with my work performance that I know of.  The kicker is they did NOT replace me, just "moved people around" I found out.   I think it was a convenient excuse to do away with me and my job.  Not very "Christ-Like" as they proudly state in their mission statement.  Sneaky, underhanded, heartless people.  I left a job I really liked only to be treated like trash.  Their loss will be someone else's gain.  My advice is stay away.

I have gotten to mean some amazing people at this work place. From almost all the people i’ve gotten to meet I have heard the same thing and that is also something I’ve experienced. Some people are over worked because we’re short staffed.There is always something important broken and it takes to long to fix. Most people who have to deal with the broken machines do not get paid enough to deal with those issues. There are some managers that do not care about the well being of the employees. If you called in sick because it’s an emergency and provide a doctors note it is still considered a call off and goes against you. 

I ran into a Registered Nurse recently who came to Pleasant View through Hospice. She asked me "Did they fix that place yet...I always thought it should be called un pleasant view". As a former employee I can say that they deffinately have not fixed it!  Administration, especially in Personal Care is horrible. They are  disrespectful to staff and treat them unfairly. There is a reason they are offering sign on bonuses! I think the word is getting around that the culture of pleasant view is not good and certainly is NOT a Christian environment. The founders of PV would not be pleased. Unfortunately it's the residents and their families that are suffering.

This could be a great place if there was better management. CEO is nice, but needs to be present in healthcare area, and employee issues. 
Poor dietary management, budget cut by $130,000 by serving low quality meats, starchy foods esp. to Healthcare residents.  Money making areas such as personal care and independent living treated well.
Administrators want to cut budget to look good, but residents suffer. No room in small memory care, so residents with dementia are placed in inappropriate areas causing  problems for other
Residents.

Pleasant View Communities, is a great place for employment. Such a warm atmosphere for everyone, they go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. I had recommended several people to seek employment here. I love their open door policy and I will recommend it to family members and friends, I also have family members work here that how much I enjoy working here.
