Ridgeline Management Company

I come to work at 5:30am.Clock in at 5:50am. give report from 6-6:10am. get paperwork ready for the day, check communication log, and alert charting paperwork to decide which residents we are supposed to do vitals on. Also if there are any changes with the residents. Next we go do room checks on all residents in the facility, and take morning vitals as needed. After that, we head into the dining room to providing customer service with a smile to our residents. We get all of them ice water, or water without ice, that's mandatory. Then they get to choose any other drinks they would like to have and a choice of appetizer. once we deliver there drinks and appetizer, we take there breakfast order and deliver the order to the cook. Once everyone in the dining room is served and satisfied, we delivery room trays to residents rooms who might be sick that day. After that, we go back into the dining room to clean and sanitize all the tables. Once we are done cleaning the dining room, we finish getting other vitals, assist residents with showers, delivery and pull laundry. We start laundry that needs to be done right away. If there are any accidents. Next, we take a lunch around 10 or 10:30am. Then, we need to be back in the dining room at 11am to get waters on the tables for lunch. Once 11:15am comes we ask residents what other drinks they would like as well as their choice of appetizers. After that, we take there lunch order and deliver it to the cook. Once everyone in the dining room has been served, we delivery room trays to those that might be sick for the day. After that, we head back into the dining room to clean and sanitize all the tables, and vacuum the floor.  Next, we finish any unfinished task for our shift. Once we are done we go to the nurses station to chart in residents files and the computer, what tasks we assisted the residents with that day. Last we give report to the other CNA's that arrive on duty for the next shift.

Management is very nice and easy to work with. If any problems arise, there is always a open door policy so you can feel free to talk to them at any time and get the issues resolved. 

The hardest part about my job, is getting all the tasks complete in time for lunch. If I am too busy around lunch time I wont take a lunch, I usually keep working to complete my tasks for that day.

The most enjoyable part of my day is being able to do something for someone to make them smile and expect nothing back.

This is an alright job if you need money. It pays minimum wage and is only part-time. There is no room for advancement. 

If management wasn't so incompetent, I would have stayed longer with this company.

We were given a paper copy of our daily work schedule and it was not available online.

 It turns out that it was very common for management to change the schedule daily without giving any notice to anyone. So, if you got the "wrong" one and came to work at the "wrong" time, you were scolded even though none of it was your fault. 

Since this is a very small company, gossiping was very common. It was normal to hear management talk negatively about other employees. I thought that this was very unprofessional and it made me felt uncomfortable going to work. 

When I was hired for this job, I felt that I was not trained properly. On my second week working for this company, my supervisor left me alone during a full shift with no one in the facility. It turns out, the reason why my supervisor asked me to work a longer shift was because she wanted to "leave" early. I did not find this out until she had already left. I was new to the job and felt extremely overwhelmed because there was no one who could answer any questions that I had about the job. 

Working as a caregiver at this facility was very stressful. We were always unstaffed and never got enough hours throughout the week. It was also very hard to find coverage for a shift since there weren't that many of us. 

Although I enjoyed interacting and helping the residents with daily living, I did not feel that I was able to provide quality care to the residents due to the lack of staffing and lack of hours. The demand of the job caused me to experienced burnout and I was always stressed out after leaving work. I did not feel appreciated at work, and this prompted me to leave this company.  

With the amount of work that I did, I felt that I should of have been paid more.

Ridgeline Management Company has provided a much needed change to the senior living culture.  Resident and employee focused with a stable and strong senior leadership TEAM!

I didn't think that this would be possible in senior living anymore but Ridgeline has given me back the faith I have had in Senior Living and in a company that does value their employees and understands Resident care is always the priority of what we do!


I can now say I am proud to work in the Senior Living industry and that finding a company who promotes putting the Residents first, has brought my faith back to know that there is a company out there who really cares.

Kudos to the entire Ridgeline TEAM!

Do not work for this shady company. You can work with some of the best people day to day at some of their locations. However, the corporate level leaves much to be desired. They will come for a visit once a year, say good job and leave and assure you by saying "if you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out". This is the only time you will hear from them without sending email after email after email. They do not pay their vendors, so you will have a hard time receiving bids for service (ie HVAC, Landscaping, etc.) You will reach out to a company for a bid and sometimes get shot down immediately when you bring up the name Ridgeline. I highly recommend anyone interviewing with this company to look at other options, and that goes for all departments you may apply to.

Great job if you love teamwork and supportive managers. The daily pace varies constantly. Can be fast paced on monday and barely crawling on tuesday. Management is fantastic, they're selfless and always put the residents and employees first. The hardest part of the job would be creating bonds with these wonderful people and then watching them leave in a blink of an eye. I always find time to talk to residents and I wouldn't trade the relationships I make with these people for the world.

Most of the girls know each other for a while now so they are more united, but don't give newbies a hard time they help when you ask, few in college/uni so they understand that lifestyle and are very nice. Ive learned patience, compassion, how to look after the elders. The hardest part is not only lifting them (some may need assistance) on to the commode, nor showering them (you may get wet, wear undershirts), but knowing when a resident passes. Some of the most enjoyable parts are sometimes there are free meals/ snacks, free coffee/juice, and stories from residents of their past or hearing their jokes.

A few people mistreated residents and got away with it because admin plays favorites and doesn't pay attention. You would have to stay on shift if the next person didn't show up for theirs or they were late. This happened a lot! I felt bad for the night shift because if they had a busy shift and didn't complete 6-7 loads of laundry they got in trouble or were mistreated by morning staff. Evening staff could have a busy shift and not finish tasks, but no one was allowed to say anything about it. Admin is always looking for something to complain about.

What is the best part of working at the company?
not one thing, they do not appreciate they're  employees at all, you are treated like a number and not a person!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the pay is horrible, not even minimum wage, cannot survive on the lousy pay!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
micro managing of the director and constant negativity makes for a very low morale work environment!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I'm done with all these questions!!
