The Garlands of Barrington

I have been here for over a year and have never had any complaints. I appreciate the lengths that ownership went through to keep not only the members safe but the staff as well through the COVID outbreak. I really feel secure and appreciated when I come to work. I also respect the fact that the owner, CEO as well as any other corporate leader is there to support you and open to ideas at any time. A true open door policy. The benefits as well as wages are very comparable to everyone else in the industry, if not better when take into consideration that the company is very respectful of the staff as well as your work life balance. 

Every workday is a routine because you are taking care of others, therefore you will follow their schedule. Along those lines, you will get to know them better which is one of the positive things about this job. Compared to other nursing facilities, this one is the nicest. Coworkers are nice as long as you do your job, and management is not that bad, they don't intrude too often. The hardest part of the job would be the physical work for some. It is healthcare and customer service. Overall, not a bad place to start out your career.

This company treats me like family - I am so glad that I found a home here. It is truly rewarding to know that I am making a difference in people's lives. Although it is a job, I find that I am also enjoying myself and the friendships that I have made are real. I am surrounded by people that truly care about me as a person. Working alongside so many people that are passionate and wholeheartedly embrace their work has been an inspirational experience.

Not the greatest place, the the company promotes great service. But extra level of service done for resident, done by the employees there to get the proper service for upper class clients is unseen and not appreciated. And even though there are appreciation lunches once a month there's no actual appreciation for the team members, it's a show. Main prioritization, is that members are happy. Team members brining happy was always second.

They have a beautiful campus, but do not consider work-life balance for their employees very much. Management is very mediocre,;for instance they try to pass off the residents' Christmas contributions for the employees (Garlands has a 'no tipping' policy) as coming from the company.

Every day we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of residents, co-workers, and ourselves. What we do/how we interact matters. We attract compassionate, upbeat employees because of the nature of our business. Show your creative thinking, teamwork, and work ethic here, and you'll move up. 

The Garlands of Barrington is a fun workplace with awesome staff. It has taught me a lot of what i know now. I enjoy working with the members (residents) that live there. They are fun and caring, and it makes me happy knowing they appreciate what i do for them.
