If integrity is important to you and the patients mean anything beyond dollar signs,  then RUN far away from anything Sandstone. The lack of real leadership is astonishing, and in the end all you’re left with is the egos of absolutely incompetent fools that demand to be stroked. All of these facilities are chronically understaffed, and I can guarantee if these people (corporate and business ownership) could replace all the human workers with robots in order to save money, they wouldn’t hesitate. There is an obvious lack of training and support from the corporate teams, and you will never be anything but a number to these soulless creatures. If you believe in integrity, honesty, morality, and family life then this is not the place for you. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of liars in my life, and it starts from the top down. Sandstone is an excellent place to kill your career and lose your morals. 

Worked this company for years.  Worst management and bad people skills. unfair to thier workers/ have no loyalty /integrity.  many CNAs and Nurses been treated very poorly There is a high turn over rate for this company. loved my residents many coworkers where wonderful  they deserve so much more than this company gives. Left the company due to many things. mistreatment lack of  considerationand them cutting many peoples hours / playing favoritsm . Many patients do not get the care they need and it's very upsetting . Big work over load as well . I have worked in several of  the sandstones facilities and most of managent is the same. If you want a job with morals/stability/value/ appreciation and integrity then sandstone is not the place for you  very disappointed in the treatment of this place. They do not value Thier staff.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Totally clicky management that fails to be transparent nor for standards. Sanitation seems like nothing to them. Honestly they're the one the worst companies I've ever worked for if not the worst

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management lack of transparency of communication of standards. They asked us to work in time frames which were impossible in a hospital that sanitation is the first thing that's going to take a hit when you cut back time. The monument house seems to have the money to renovate

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, clicky, non-transparent, no standards at all. Honestly the state should be involved

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I do my job I had on my business

This place is turning into more and more of a nursing home - Sandstone Spring Valley in Las Vegas. I signed on for a post-acute rehabilitation clinic. Instead, we are having more long term patients. They never have enough staff so when you start your shift, you may be asked to go cover another unit even after you have done all your vital signs for your original run of patients, only to have to start over on another unit. There is no teamwork. no one helps you feed your patients if you have 2 or more. They take advantage of new people. They do not care about your feelings, and they threaten to send you home if you do not agree to go work another unit.

This place is the worst place you can probably work at. management sucks! everything sucks at this place. you can never go to anyone for anything without being ignored or turned away. HR people have to be the most fake people there that act nice but aren’t actually nice at all. there’s a bunch of favoritism and new hires straight out of school get payed more than people that have been working there for a while. kitchen and food sucks. patient to CNA ratio sucks. this place absolutely made me hate being a CNA. i had a better experience in long term care than at this rehab place. stay away from this place! this is a for profit facility so don’t expect much from them 

I went on shift the previous shift personal was not willing to give any report to me. It also seemed like it was ok for them to leave before their shift was over leaving a gap in care for the residents. 

Then the assignments where done they didn't go by the patient's acuity. 

My scheduled assignment (Hallways/ Sections) was changed on the spot. I believe that in a 2 week period the average of being reassigned was 60%. 

I am a self starter doing my tasks only to have to repeat the same tasks over again with a different assignment.   

What is the best part of working at the company?
The salary was good but bonus were not paid.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing where you stand. I was ignored on items required to report about. I had to plead for financials to be sent. And if a metric was off, you would get an email stating "this is unacceptable." 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company culture was rough only to be sugar coated with company barbecues. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There is a lot to do but it is a hard industry.

So many things are wrong with these buildings.  They have some of the most archaic policies, especially in regard to the scheduling and that is due to their new head scheduler. They created a frustrating environment where everyone is constantly fighting and nobody trusts the administration.  

They don't care about you, they don't care about how hard their facilities can be to work at, and they don't care that they are not running nearly enough nurses or CNA's. They will watch you running and try to add more to your plate every single day. 

The management is  rotates all the time and is never on the same page. The most recent management has been there less than 6 months and they still Don’t have a permanent DON. They don’t take feedback from employees well. They beg you to cover shifts but shame you when you can’t. They are short staffed All the time and will have STUDENT nurses fill in for the missing floor nurses with little to no supervision or support. They always lack proper supplies and when nurses express their needs they are told to figure it out or make do. Not a bad place to get experience if you’re willing to deal with lack of support. 

If you want to go home tired everyday this is the place for you. Therapists and assistants are given 15 patients everyday with 30 min treatment times. I work in a large building with 140 beds and 6 hallways. 30 minutes is not enough to review charts, get patients ready, bringing them to the gym (which they required) and actual therapy. We are only given an extra 30 minutes for documentation, for 15 patients! There are better places out there with even better benefits.
