Pomeroy Living

It’s fine, the management currently is mostly fine but the nurse managers are rocky. I finally quit after a year and a half of dedication because I was left alone as the nurse aid with an entire unit and the managers took the aid coming in to help me, on her unit. This happened quite a few times. My starting pay as a CNA fresh out of school was $13.50, I did get $4 more for covid pay and working second shift but it is still extremely low. I only got a pay raise because cost of living increased. Trying to get all that is required in an 8 hour shift on top of what is assumed to be done is ridiculous. I would go home completely exhausted. I never left on time because there was so much to do. They also have been using cheaper and cheaper products which is impacting the ways to give care. I do NOT recommend working here. Of course with time and management changes, this place could be an amazing place to work. But as of right now, it’s bad.

I love to help others and do for others like there my own everyone always say I’m loving a caring ima hard worker I never quit and I love people I’m great with people 

    A typical day at work. Say I washed my patient up and feed him good I put on movie for him and laugh with him then he said he have to do number 2 and I grab the pan placed him right and let him use it when he got done I grab the pan cleaned him up and tucked him in then I cleaned him area then told him I’ll see him tmrw. 

      I learned to be more patient wit my clients 
The hardest part of my job was finding the movie . Also the most thing I enjoyed about my job is being there for my patient when they feel like no one else is  I cooked I cleaned and I helped my patient. 

There have been many big changes in management recently…Set aside the lack of organization, constant scheduling issues and understaffing; The employee turnover speaks for itself. Caregivers, dietary staff, med techs, schedulers and directors alike are leaving just about as soon as they come. The management team at Pomeroy Living- Orion shows little to no concern for employee happiness & accommodations, and seems to have no problem putting residents in danger or at risk of injuries due to limited supervision, because of scheduling mistakes and the inability to keep employees satisfied. I don’t know anyone who works for Pomeroy that would allow their loved one to live there. Especially in memory care.

The culture at this building (Lake Orion) I found to be toxic and negative . Corporate management thrives on lower level gossip and had staff in place to “spy” and report staff. They watch the cameras and react on hear say . They have  a high turn over rate due to these practices . They force families to work with “preferred”vendors who provide subpar care and retaliate if you speak up . The community is beautiful however the pay for frontline staff isn’t competitive. Overall not an enjoyable experience. Very unprofessional and unorganized.

I loved working with the residents and facilitating activities. Anything that had to do with management, coworkers or corporate was very stressful and unrealistic. This company does not value its workers and is a classic "turn and burn". They offer no education and do not value it if you seek it out. This includes CPR and BLS training. Promotions that are promissed take months to come to fruition. The management teams are offered no training so you are often o erseen by folks who are out of their depth. Also the care for their residents is sub par and below industry standards.

A typical day at Pomeroy Living begins with greetings at the front desk and smile . Usual routine according  to the schedule .I  learned a lot  especially in the pandemic  period, everyday we had something new going on ,because  the virus was something new for everybody. Our management was leading and supporting everyday. The hardest part or sad on the job to me is when we lost a resident or when they get sick ,,it 's like  a big family . The best part it's we are the best team ,we have the best people leading the team and I am very happy to be part of Pomeroy Living .
