Solaris Healthcare

The DON practically runs through the building so she can't get stopped by staff with questions and concerns. Doesn't even take the time out to welcome new employees. She'd rather hide behind her locked office door and ignore the chaos, mayhem, and lies that is going on in the building. 
 The administrator never speaks to his fellow employees he acts like its beneath him. He prefers to watch us from home. There are cameras throughout the building. He'll call the supervisor with his complaints and demands. I remember him telling us in a meeting "you don't need to worry about Big Brother watching you, worry about me watching you". 
 Some of the Unit Managers and Supervisors egos proceed their nursing knowledge and skills. It's  a wonder how and why some of them got the position. 
Understaffed, and  unappreciated are understatements. They allow the same employees to consistently call out, be habitually tardy, or no call no shows with little to no retribution. One employee has actually gotten promoted to a supervisory position with a disgusting history of calling off, not to mention that this person is closely related to the ADON.  The staffing coordinator and other management continuously harass you to be a "team player" or "help out" and pick up shifts and then get mad when you tell them no because you're burntout and exhausted. After all their begging and negotiating for you to pick up shifts, they have the audacity to get mad because there's too much overtime. As a result of poor staffing State has gotten involved, now they have to pay out even more money for the Agency staff they've had to hire as a staffing "fix". Yet the problem of understaffed still remains. I've seen some of their best employees quit or get fired, because they were just being a "team player". The  little appreciation, if any, some  receive is cold and  comes in a styrafoam to go plate. Mangement refuses to give incentives or recognition to those that go above and beyond. The pay is not only embarrassing but insulting when you take into account the amount of work, energy,  time, and years of service you give. Favoritism is at it's best when it comes to a certain shift, and certain employees.  Management allows  nurses and cnas to take positions they know their unqualified for, then throws them under the bus when problems arise. Social service department is just as bad as nursing when it comes to their job performance also. I feel sorry for the residents, and their family members because they have no idea of what is really going on there. They're greeted with fake smiles or given fake sympathy from some of the employees and most of the management. Those residents  are just dollar signs to them. I also feel sorry for the few great nurses, cnas, and  other staff who are stuck working under a management that continually choose to go deaf, dumb, and blind to all their hard work. Proceed with caution or better yet run the other way when it comes to this Solaris Healthcare location.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The teamwork. We’re building a supportive environment where people actually work together and help one another.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Currently, the challenge is rebuilding the team. We made tough decisions to move away from individuals who were disrespectful, had negative attitudes and did not work as a team which we are really big on. We're focused on building a stronger, more supportive team that works well together and supports eachother.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 We have laid the foundation and are committed to improving our supportive, calm, and strong team-oriented culture where staff truly have each other’s backs. Collaboration is part of everyday practice, and we working hard to maintain nurse-to-patient ratios of 1 nurse to 20 or fewer patients, allowing nurses the time they need to provide thorough, compassionate care without feeling rushed.
To continue providing this level of care and maintain these ratios, we need good, strong, team-oriented nurses who are committed to working together and supporting one another. Leadership is hands-on and approachable, and teamwork is encouraged at every level. We believe in stepping in to help when needed and creating a balanced workload so no one feels overwhelmed.
Most importantly, we strive to create a workplace where employees feel valued, respected, and happy coming to work. Our goal is for staff to feel supported, not stressed—so they can focus on delivering excellent patient care while enjoying a positive and collaborative environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day really depends on whether you're working as a supervisor or on the floor, but it's pretty much what you'd expect in an SNF-getting report, counting narcs, reviewing orders, and taking care of patients. Teamwork is a big part of every shift. If I'm in the building, I always check in to make sure everyone's okay and has what they need. If there are any patient issues or concerns, staff bring them to me and I handle it and follow up as quickly as possible. The goal is for no one to feel overwhelmed or alone-and if things do get busy, either I'll step in if I'm there or the team will jump in to help get things back on track

do not work in the hair salon if you want to make money! You will make absolutely zero tips and a stylist request to the management to help tipping situation falls on deaf ears. The pricing for their Salon is from 1995 you will work yourself to death to make money there. Their excuse for that is because people are on Medicaid but yet they charge between 8 and 10,000 a month for residents to live there! There is almost no help from the staff you have to go pick up every client and bring them back in wheelchairs. That said, you have to also shampoo them sitting straight up as they complain you're getting them wet. It is backbreaking and unappreciated The woman that oversees the salon does not care at all about the hair stylist that is behind the chair or how hard they work all they care about is that you make the residents happy so they can keep that $8,000 resident there. This is not a happy place to work! At Christmas time I was never even giving a card or a thank you for my hard work there. Received no gratification. Not even from residents, staff, or family. Nothing! I found my job on indeed posted while I was still working there all because I wouldn't work a second day that was not needed. It was just for the convenience of the old people there

The supervisors and staff treat you poorly, under paid over worked expect way to much from staff, staff do drugs in cars in parking lot on lunch breaks and supervisors know and do nothing, just imagine staff caring for your family after they have been outside doing drugs. Night shift is ALWAYS understaffed work with any where from 18-25 patients per CNA.the food is terrible, House keeping sleep in patients rooms & watch tv while hiding behind room curtains. staff eat off of patients trays. Ive worked at many places but this place is always covering up for things. They do not care about their staff, they allow patients to mistreat staff. The supervisors put up a good front when State is in building and family members are there. Behind the scenes the DON rely on the bad Supervisors to push the staff to exhaustion and don't care. Nurses are worked as CNA's and CNA's over worked. Too many things to list. I would NEVER put my family member in this place. Only thing about this place is that they ladies in Laundry work hard and do the best job at making sure there is clean linen for patients and staff to use. 

I have worked at Solaris of Plant City for more than 10-years. I have worked at other nursing homes and this one is by far the best. All staff are friendly and welcoming.  The Administrator and the DON have an open door policy, and are available anytime a staff member, visitor, resident, or family request to speak to them. They have always worked with me with my schedule.  My hours are constantly changing due to school and family obligations. I have never been denied a schedule change or request. They care about their staff and every year they recognize employees for their years of service in a special ceremony with awards that includes a financial incentive, the longer you're here the higher the incentive.  They provide free uniforms and staff look very professional. They have very high standards and expect the highest quality of care be provided to the residents. If you are a slacker or have a bad attitude this place is not for you, so don't apply, we don't want you!  We love our residents, their families, and our Solaris Team and we are exceptionally proud of the care and services we deliver on a daily basis.

CONS: It used to be a great place to work, then they started letting one particular unit manager make all the decisions in the place, threaten and bully his employees. Several nurses have left the job because of his actions. We work too hard for our license to feel threatened by them. Working under him is constantly putting your license at risk and most nurses that work there felt that way. They have a way of making it feel like only certain nurses and CNAs  and even residents matter their and the others are not appreciated at all. The insurance is poor doesn't cover a whole lot. You don't get your ETO days when you leave even if you give proper notice. Too much favoritism, advancement depended on how much of a tattle tale you were and who you know not who could do the job.

PROs: I believe the DON, ADON, and Administrator do actually care about what happens with most residents and don't make it all about money and I have worked in a place that would let a resident die in order to get the money for the day. The place is clean and doesn't smell like urine and feces. For the most part most of the floor staff  are good it was just poorly managed with a lot of favoritism

I have to say that all dept personal are truly nice people and everyone enjoys there jobs here i do i truly love my residents  but the unit manager/managers  are disrespectful,and a embarrassment as role models to the nursing staff -they think they have the right to speak to nurses in front of other nurses and dictate and raise their voices and embarass them in front of everyone-and then when you bring it to the attention to DON-not sure what they do because they have no follow-up conversation between the nurses and the unit managers-the only follow-up is more stress going to work walking on eggshells and being told not to come to work for 3 days with no explanation why without pay at 440 pm on friday I recieve this message-this has been done to me twice-and the rate of pay in Solaris is horrible to start with   -as you can see i still work here not because of the money by any means but because i really like the residents ...but you know when the upper dept wants to make you leave/quit they do what ever it takes....

As a nurse with more than a decade experience, this is the most unorganized, micro managed facility I've ever been too. Even the best nurses stay roughly two hours past their 8 hour shift, at least. This is mostly due to documentation. Nurses must do all their own charting as well as bowel movements, vital signs, meal percentages, etc...Night shift nurses share multiple carts including the narcotics...it is so hard chasing the other nurses down that the keys are just left in a lunch bag on top of the cart where any employee can access them. Try and talk to management about your concerns and you will be retaliated against immediately. Nursing is hard enough, this place sees their employees as disposable. So many of the nurses are new to LTC so have no idea how much they are being taken advantage of. Administrator sits at home watching cameras all hours of the night. The whole place is just a circus. Run from this place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The different patientsand different therapy 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The other cnas n nurses and supervidors. They all are related family. sisters mothers and cousins  daughters  n daughter in laws . they all stick together and act like a pack  of wolfs if report 1 they come back at  the person

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most patients are up set with staff for being lazy i had a private patient there. Once they found out i. They nursing staff did nott care for her properly  they made her wait hours to go to bathroom. Even though they were sitting there doing nothing i know i was there had to change my own patient even though that they are being pd for it

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Frustratingly  always having to watch your back and being forced to answer the familys call because they just dont care.  Virgina head in her relative

I've worked for Solaris healthcare in plant city for 5 months,  the pressure is overwhelming nurses are quitting left and right on average you can have up to 30 patients,   Managment are not appreciating the stuff nurses go trough every day on c ring there's a lot of  gossip going on with old staffs they are nasty,  unit managers are nasty and rude the insurance is very expensive they expect nurses to do 10-12 hours of work in 8 hours I don't recommend this place to anyone, they've  done  nothing in favor of the employees,  they do not respect home balance, they always short of nurses ,  the pay is low for the work load,  this place is a mess ,  you got wrote up for everything,  they do not care about nurses concerned  some of CNAs are very rude because they've been there longer than the nurses they just waiting for staff to gossip about the permanent person on cart 7 she talked bad about every one,  they're racist but pretend otherwise.
