The Delaney at Lake Waco

A typical work day here was stressful. As soon as I arrived to the kitchen, I was being rushed due to lack of planning and forethought. I was often talked down to by management and treated like I didn't know what I was doing. What I learned there is to go with my gut and if things seem off, just quit without notice because employers will do the same to you in a moment's notice. Instead of doing their own job, the management would take advantage of the less experienced employees and give them the work they should have been doing. They will not allow you to get another job because it could "interfere" with your work at the Delaney. I have worked in this industry for over 15 years and never have I ever seen so many stupid practices in one kitchen. There is not enough space here to cover all the negatives.

If I were you I would stay away from the Delaney they don’t pay you what you deserve to be paid, they play favorites, there’s no encouragement to move up your literally stuck at the bottom and they treat you as such, their understaffed because people leave and quit due to poor and unappreciative management, they allow their favorites to get away with pretty much whatever they want while treating the people who actually do the work like trash, I worked their a year and never received my raise because the old Executive director who QUIT felt like I didn’t deserve it and so nobody ever gave me the raise overall it’s a toxic environment and I wouldn’t wish that place on my worst enemy. 

I have worked here at The Delaney for many years and I can actually say that I love my job. Not everyday is a good day, but this is healthcare and that is to be expected. However, I work with a great team who can really pull together when needed and that really makes all the difference. I enjoy coming to work everyday and that is something I have not been able to say when working at other places. Management is helpful and really want you to succeed. Healthcare is not for everyone, but if you do have a heart for helping others, then I do recommend working here. It can be a very rewarding experience. 

I’ve really enjoyed my time at The Delaney at Lake Waco. The leadership team is supportive, the work culture is collaborative, and there are plenty of opportunities for professional growth. I especially appreciate the generous PTO and great benefits package, which make a real difference in maintaining work-life balance.

The company has a positive, inclusive environment where everyone’s contributions are valued. I’m proud to be part of the team and excited about the future here. Highly recommend The Delaney at Lake Waco to anyone looking for a fulfilling career!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy making sure the residents are showered,dressed, feed and well taken care of.

Great residents but management in the kitch is horrible, they throw you under the bus, don't have your back, lie to cover their own butt. You must have have a heart for the residents which is the best part of the job.

They pay you great but the management is poor. No directors actually stand up for their staff. Turnover for care givers and kitchen staff stays high. When employees speak up they are often blackballed in some way! Lower hours, directors treat them horrendously. Director of Nursing also doesn’t report certain things. Some residents receive wrong medications and families don’t know or understand what happens to their loved ones.

I have had a positive experience working at The Delaney. The team is supportive, the residents are well cared for and management works to have a professional environment. 
There are challenges that come with any job but overall it is a solid company with dedicated staff and a focus on resident care. 
I would recommend it as a good place to work.

Management constantly complains about each other.  If they don't like you they will go as far as making up lies to undermine you.  Everything has to go on paper, no verbal warnings.  If you are Management, do t speak your mind on how to try to fix anything. 

The Delaney is a great place of work!  The residents are wonderful and the team I worked with was also enjoyable.  The facility is new and standards of operations are slowly being introduced, but open mindedness is always welcomed!
