The Cedars

I cannot recommend working here due to management issues and a hostile workplace environment.

Management & Leadership: The facility is run by coordinators and supervisors who are not nurses, yet they direct nursing duties. The supervising nurse in charge of assisted living and memory care is disconnected from the residents and remains at her desk all day, refusing to help on the floor even when the facility is severely short-staffed.

Workplace Culture: The environment is highly cliquey and exclusionary. Long-term staff members frequently talk behind coworkers' backs while acting friendly to their faces. If you do not "fit in" with the dominant group, you will not last long.

Employee Treatment: Management heavily micromanages employees, watching them constantly and making them feel like their hard work is never good enough. It is a culture that burns through staff, chewing people up and spitting them out rather than supporting them.

A typical day meant mentally planning how I was going to take a course of action for that specific day. There was no guaranties that things would go and fit to that schedule perfectly, but at least I had a rough plan on what I needed to do and what time frame I would be able to accomplish my goals of the day. I learned that time management is key and that I can't be everywhere at once. Management can crack down hard on you for things that can occur unintentionally. As for my co-workers, some were better and some were worse than others. You can't pick and choose who you work with. You just have to adjust yourself and ignore the drama that occurs in each work situation. The hardest part of CNA work is watching people you start to care for die. The best part would be helping people who can't help themselves and learning their history and stories.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Endless growth and learning opportunities. Great management team and staff that truly care about the residents. I feel that the residents are very well cared for. My contributions as an employee are recognized and appreciated.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nursing in general is stressful but I feel that my concerns are heard and I have a great team to problem solve with.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I feel safe in this environment to share my ideas and opinions. I have seen change occur based on feedback and always with the intention of making things better. I trust and value the team that I work closely with.

You can not leave your station this is not a good place to work. It’s really 
Hard to do your job management staff does not know how to treat people if you ever need them. They pretend that they are helping you, but they let the abuse of others happen. The people you work for the residence are amazing loving great people, but if someone is hurting you through their words, throwing you off chairs calling you names they do absolutely nothing

it feels as though there's so much work to do but if only some floor managers would be more kind then the job is bearable. they got no culture, people gossip each other all the time, and where you come from and who you are can get you a good shift or not (if you know what i mean)

The Cedars was a very clean and modern environment to work it.
I enjoyed the friendly nature of the staff and managment.
It makes it a much more enjoyable facility to work in when the individuals that work there genuinly enjoy their work.
One of the hardest parts of any cna job, I think, is the eminent fact that patients pass. It's a great feeling to know in the short time of caring for a pt, one can contribute comfort and care to another human being.

I worked at the facility as a travel RN for 13 weeks and disliked the culture.  Staff are not friendly to travelers and management is not receptive to any feedback about that unfriendly environment.  I'd never take an assignment at the place again.  On several occasions the unit I worked on was understaffed and frankly unsafe.  I'd recommend avoiding the place.

Like the rotating schedule of every other weekend off. Great residents, great co-workers, and a lot of freedom and creativity was allowed here. Management was approachable, supportive and receptive to suggestions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers are the best part always

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
House coordinator of lunder doesn’t know what she’s doing and doesn’t help staff or communicate appropriately, talks about everyone to everyone.

A wonderful place to work. Staff is very kind and available to help you if you have any problems. The Cedars is also good about advancement from within. The people you meet here turn into relationships for life. A very rewarding place to work.
