Tockwotton on the Waterfront

At Tockwotton, everyone is very formal and courteous. My co-workers would always have new stories to tell me about the residents, or their life outside of work. Everyone is greeted with a smile. The hardest part about the job was the 12-hour shifts, but this was also the best part. While I work there all day, I also get to converse with the residents who I grew close to. Despite the long shifts, the time I spent at Tockwotton was meaningful and made me a better person overall. Between the kitchen and the nursing staff, our team was strong, the only downside was the unexperienced management. This made it harder for all of us on an everyday basis, between lack of stock and poor judgement on the management end. Because of this, the general staff picked up a lot of traits needed to be a manager because we would see what is lacking. All in all, Tockwotton was a great work experience.

A typical day at work was enjoying the company of employees you get to work well with and learn about things they do different to complete the job.I learned that everyone is not the same and everyone has their ways of doing things, another thing that i have learned was working with others they show you things that you haven't done before.The management was good did everything they was suppose to always checking on you and making sure you are comfortable at the job.Working in the nursing home their are different culture their and working with the food that i have never made or even tried before was exciting.The hardest part of the job was cleaning everything three times a day but as days went on it wasn't as bad once i got the hang of it.The most enjoyable part about the job was the company of others and match your level i enjoyed everyone i was constantly around i loved the job itself.

Worked at tockwotton for a short time, very pretty on the outside but a whole different story on the inside, management is horrible, only cares about how pretty the place looks. Does not care about staff at all, work load is very HEAVY.  VERY LOW PAY for the amount of work u have in a 8 hour shift. Always working short call outs everyday, some nurses put there all into there job and others are there for the paycheck and have no shame in saying so. Horrible workers get all the credit. Residents are very nice and treat staff BETTER then management SAD BUT TRUE. WOuld not recommend this place to anyone.

The one thing I was always impressed with is the way they handle or prevent spread of diseases. They run a tight ship there and do the very best to prevent or mitigate spread of diseases such as FLU, COVID, RSV, Norovirus. Most of the time they listen to ideas and implement new standards to improve not only patients health but employees health and welbeing. Just like eveywhere they deal with understaffing but do their best to have the best nurse to patient ratio, The patient rooms have their own rooms and bathrooms and believe in rest promoting healing. I also like how their are no alarms that wake up patients. everyine carries around pagers that go off when a call light is activated. Overall I think they are one of the top facilities to work for in the state.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Awesome place to work. As an activity assistant  I worked with the resident on long term and worked with the assistant living. Getting  to them as well as their  families.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When weather  was bad or a break out of covid then you are grounded. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment  was good. It is centered  around  the culture.  It was a good for me because  it was so many different  cultures  there.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in with a positive  attitude  do the job at the end of the day feeling accomplished.

As a seasoned CNA, who worked in several RI nursing homes I have to say that coming to work at Tockwotton was a great decision. From the first day of my orientation, I felt like I'm a part of the team, now 8 months later it's more like a part of the family. Residents are well taken care of, there is always something going on for them, activities and events, everybody works together, great, homey atmosphere. CNAs take part in daily staff meetings so our input in patient care is important, working closely with nurses. I feel like I'm making a difference and its a pleasure coming to work every morning.

Beautiful on the outside, terrible on the inside. Management does not meet the standards that should be in place for a residence such as this. Workplace culture the worst I have ever been involved in. Bullying to say the least. Upper management aware of the staff treating each other badly but does nothing about it. The bad staff get the best treatment because that is the culture of management. The best part of the job is the residents and their families.

Slave drivers. Management has no knowledge of running a nursing home. Third shift has a Skeleton Crew which sleep all night. Many times they say just fill the rooms with no compassion for residents which pass. Be careful on putting loved ones there. The building exterior is Beautiful but the bones has very major issues. Food is awful and portions are small all to save a dollar. Is that what you want for your loved one? No team work what so ever. For the money they charge the care is not there.Do not be fooled.

The position entitled admissions for a 43 bed skilled care unit and a 37 assisted living residence.  The assisted living section was typical assisted living with minimal care required, all residents were ambulatory and capable of all their ADL's.

The skilled care facility was mostly long term/end of life care.

One of the major downfalls of this facility was the nepotism on the part of the administrator.

A beautiful facility. You will not get any support from your co workers.The charge nurse was a witch. You didnt have enough time to finish your med pass. You had to stop your med pass and take care of the other med techs  residents. You had to look for keys that someone else lost. Stay Away!
