The New Jewish Home

The morale is terrible, and employees are not respected or appreciated. Management lacks professionalism and is grouped up. If you're not Jewish in this organization/department, then you will not last. I have witnessed Jewish employees make big mistakes, but their mistakes are overlooked and blamed on others. The administration has shown a pattern of when its time to let go of an employee they spread the word throughout the department, which makes the person who is being let go feel inhuman. That person is then asked to announce in front of the department that they have "resigned to pursue other opportunities. " I never worked for a company that treated employees this way. You know you are about to get fired a whole month or so before management decides to come to you because of the unprofessionalism of management. Everyone is privileged to the information. If your thinking about an opportunity with this organization, run the other way, but if your Jewish, you may have a great opportunity there. Note, though, that management has a history of firing all existing employees and bring in their own. The New Jewish Home does not stand for its values at all.     

What the CEO should do?
Hire employees that model the values of the organization. Teach management the proper procedures of terminating someone and confidentiality. It's not ok to tell your close colleagues that your letting go of employees and have it spread throughout the department. Management should have to explain their decision of terminating employees; it should not be based on their group's feelings. Professional training is a must, especially when you're in a position of leadership. Have meetings with the staff to see how management is doing, especially when management is new to the organization, the problem will be easier to fix before it gets worse. Don't give management the full range of terminating all existing employees to bring in their own when they have not shown that they can do the job. It's not a great feeling to hear your fired because of budget cuts, but then management hires six more people. When will the CEO step in and correct the problem? The company is suffering because of management like this.

As long as you encourage team work and stay positive  and kind to all residents you’ll be good to go. The job is hard but if you work and encourage team work you’ll do your job just fine. Communication is a plus and asking lots of questions about your residents is essential for you to do your job safely and efficiently! Sometimes it can be overwhelming but stay positive and create a sequence of how you’ll going to assist all of your patients/residents. Staff is ok for the most part, they’re  kind and very helpful! An amazing working environment starts with you so show your staff members that you really want to get the work done and they’ll give you back that same energy; stay humble, kind, communicate and be detail oriented because you’ll need to be very observant of your patients and of the things you do so everything goes well. Overall, don’t stress it too much! Stay positive and encourage team work 🙂 Another perk is that the average of patients each nursing assistant has is 8-10 patients for each day shift and evening shift. Additionally, per shift during the week nursing assistants need to give 1 to 2 showers and no showers are scheduled for sundays. So like I said, stay positive and you’ll be fine

They are only good at finding clients for you. Communication skills---no no. Most of the coordinators are pure ghetto talkers. They really need to go back to college and re do a course called critical thinking. There are NOT professionals. They will ask you to cover up someone else mess. Ex. If an aide do not show up for a client they have been assigned to just say the shift is 9 to 1, they will call a back up who is also completing a 9 to 1. Before the back up aide completes their shift, they will call the client home number and ask the client to speak with the aide. (in the mean time, those buzzards are calling your phone while you are at work requesting you something like a time sheet to complete). Anyway, they will ask you to do a favor and travel to another home within the hour to complete just say a 2 to 6. They are suppose to pay you for travel time and if you are the type not to check you pay, they will leave travel time out and act like its your fault that you did not travel to that client home on time. So stupid. Most times, the clients live miles apart and they expect the bus and train to wait for you. The coordinator like to argue with you via phone. I hang up. I have patience with the clients more then those dingbats whom are called your coordinator.

Terrible benefits for admin employees, especially for a healthcare system. The salaries are decent, but if you have any health issues/medical needs the insurance isn’t worth it.

Development team is hard to work for. The two top employees are weirdly enmeshed. One micromanaged while the other under managed with little direction. The Senior Director of Institutional Giving and Program Development is a lovely woman personally, but professionally is under-qualified for the job and seems insecure that the people who report to her have far more experience and success in the field. She wouldn’t let me or my colleague (both who had more experience) send emails to other departments within the organization, let alone communicate directly with funders. When working remotely, we were told we had to be “camera ready” at all times, and we both got in trouble for getting up to go to the bathroom. Incredibly stressful enticement that really tears down your self-esteem.

I have worked for The New Jewish Home for less than a month, and my time with the company was less than desirable. I understand the importance of being a team player and filling in during crucial times, but this company takes it to another level. You interview for one position, but when you accept the offer, your responsibilities are different from the job title you accepted. It almost feels as though you are hired under false pretenses. Many people in the department are overworked and misdirected. Leadership is practically invisible. At times it can be tough working in an environment where there is no clear leader or goal. You are asked to take on multiple projects at once, and everything is an emergency because it lacks the proper planning, which has led to most of the employees to feel overwhelmed. Leadership is in little cliques and gossip, which makes employees feel uncomfortable. The department lacks leadership, teamwork, knowledge, and organization. It will be hard for this department to be successful under its current conditions.

I remember when I used to work there a few years ago It was a very clicky environment reminded me of HS. Very unprofessional staff members, a lot of them get away with bullying, cursing, etc. Upper management like to follow along with the BS. Older staff members get away with bullying because they’ve been working there since Moses brought down the commandments from the mountaintop. Management like to he-he hah-hah along with them. So sad, the company has the potential to be a great company to work for. If management would lead by example and demand that staff members act professional in the work place, the office culture would be much better. I’m not saying that an uptight, micromanaged environment is better; what I’m saying is there should be a healthy balance. There should be a clear difference between a place adults go to work and a high school lunchroom.

- Work days were outlined before arrival each day by supervisor or housekeeping mangers.
- Supervisor was very helpful and supported communication with each employee.
- Each employee has a different background and was willing to help those who can help them.
- Typically I didn't have an hard parts of my job. Besides some physical effort, It was a very rewarding position.
- Staying to help after hours really paid off as I was taken seriously being an intern.
- Fun days of the job were the winters. If there place was hit by heavy snow, you'd just be clearing the driveway and salting the sidewalks all day. Sounds boring but it really shed the time left time left till your day was done.
* These are my experiences with people who may not be with the company anymore since my internship.

HORRIBLE place to work. The people that do staffing are HORRIBLE and unfair, disrespectfully. Some employee can get time off anytime they want with no problem.While others have to do a song a dance and beg and are denied. The work is over whelming and never completely done. Management want you to clock out at the end of shift and stay back and complete the work. Shifts are short staffed all the time. And you hardly get a lunch break. Cna's act like there nurses.Some supervisors are rude and disrespectful. Horrible experience!

management is not supportive, they tried to stop employees from returning to former positions which opened up, they like to throw employees under the bus if you do not defend yourself.  Too many managers and not enough employees to do the very large volume of work  which never gets done even if you stay at work late (which is not appreciated). The employees were helpful with training new staff meanwhile the managers stay in their office. The 1199 union does not have the back bone it used to have to stand up to the company for not contributing to the medical benefits. Many employees may be in jeopardy of losing their benefits.

The Jewish Home Lifecare is one of the largest Nursing Homes in New York City. It's very fast pace and intense. Management is approachable and they listen to concerns voiced. My co-workers are awesome. I've learned that challenging myself has pushed me further than I've ever thought I would be. My coworkers are awesome. The hardest part of my job is waiting on others to complete their portion of work before I can complete mine. The most enjoyable part of my job is the connections I've built with the resident's I serve. The resident's look forward to me coming to work. I'm able to put a smile on their face and in return it brightens my day.
