Warren Barr

I accepted a job as a rehab aide and I had never worked in healthcare before, much less as a rehab aide. Simply put, I felt the training was terrible. There was no structure whatsoever. They just had me bouncing from assisting therapists, to learning the insurance/scheduling system (which has a steep learning curve), to getting patients to therapy, and learning the culture and policies, all over the course of 2 days since they expected me to be on my own by the weekend; no other rehab aides were scheduled on the weekend and my "manager," was off so I would have literally no support. My formal orientation was very limited (meaning almost non-existent). Most concerning, they were expecting me to do patient transfers on my own after only observing how it is done and helping a couple of times, with no formal training on safety precautions, proper form, etc. For these reasons I did not complete training. However, if you have experience in healthcare, the training might be more to your liking, but I would not recommend this facility for beginners.

Please, never work overnight as an RN at warren Barr gold Coast . You will be subjected to caring for 40 or more resident on a skilled floor; no overnight  supervisor to give you meds or IV meds needed for the resident; most of the time, you will only have 1 CNA instead of 2; and to complete your documentation, plan to spend two more hours after your actual closing hour everytime you work. With this overwhelming assignment, their resident expect to get the care they paid for, DON expects all jobs to be perfectly done, and your relieving nurse expact no assignment carried over to his/her shift without the consideration of total number of resident and acuity of the resident. With all that you have to deal with to give the residents the best possible care they need,  you still have to deal with racism and culture discrimination. The most highly hired race in the nursing department are mostly fevoured. I hope this help

I enjoyed this job ONLY because of the residents. Some of them were sweet and I loved helping them. That’s where the positive aspect about the job starts and ends. Working here made me depressed. The administration does not care about you. They only care when they want you to pick up an extra shift. Once you stop scratching their back, they will stop scratching yours. The only reason I put 5 stars for Job and Life balance was because I said “NO” when they kept calling me to come in. I chose sanity over working short staffed, working with lazy nurses that do not help, dealing with administration’s lack of professionalism and stupidity. Don’t get me wrong, most of the staff is cool. There are good nurses and CNAs that will help and not do too much. I’m not saying don’t work here because it’s up to you. But I’m just happy I left when I did. The only time I seen administration and staff work their butts off is when State was in the building. 

I personally believe if those offices and titles were stripped away and more focus on patients actual care would be awesome. There is no reason to have two or three adons it’s insane and a waste of money that can be spent hiring help ON THE FLOOR. I enjoyed the residents however poor management will drain you quickly. I find the management team was out of touch with staff , and more concerned of the esthetic of the building rather than the care. I find it insulting to be hustling on the floor as the admin struts thru the hall in 4inch pumps acting concerned about lights and who is at the nursing station. watching cameras  etc.,The unprofessionalism was wild.The acuity of the patients didn’t match the “care cards” the rehab unit is more so MED SURG and it’s unfortunate for the staff and residents. 

What is the best part of working at the company?


Warren Barr on the Gold Coast was the best place to work and felt like my second home. It was my happy place. The management team is very professional and supportive. The administrator, in particular, is always on the floor, actively solving both patient and staff issues."



What is the most stressful part about working at the company?


Time flies when I work at WBGC and we need to stay highly focused and develop good time management skills.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?


Very diverse with multiple perspectives. A truly international culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?


Working at WBGC is very busy, with new learning opportunities every day. The management provides lunch for all holidays, which I enjoyed very much.

Future job  lookers who seek employment. Do not apply here. If you are good worker they will through you under the bus to look after their friends and family that work here. also from management to nursing department they are not competent to be in the job position they are hired for. It is a lot fraternization, nepotism and cliques. If your not  an associate and part of there clique, you are lost cause to this facility.  This facility does not live up the rules and regulations  that uphold workers especially when  its a hostile envoirment {family threaten you (ex. Physical assault, verbal threats  and etc.. ) they would sweep under the rug  because of money purposes.  so people be-careful and leary of this place before seeking employment here. Healthcare and nursing rehab is not the best here.  and it is always short staff and patient suffer due to lack of staff and care.

I implemented and oversaw customer service standards for over 200 employees. I researched themes which could benefit the employees and used these topics to conduct workshops throughout the year. I created programs to build loyalty and facilitate donations for Lieberman. I developed meaningful relationships with the residents and their families, which enhanced our goal of increasing customer service. I also had the opportunity to interact with employees from every department on a daily basis and get their input on customer service within the organization.

Working in healthcare can be stressful but so can any field of work. With that being said, Warren Barr does its best to provide the best care for its pateints. However when it comes to the staff it depends on which end your on. If your a nurse or cna anything thing that's not management your valued as disposable. The company is always making cut backs in the most ridiculous ways possible. The building is constantly understaffed and so administration will make people do job duties that they are not required to do. I have heard conversations between administrators were they talk bad about each employee and they wonder why people keep quitting left and right. If you can handle heavy work loads and doing work that you shouldn't have to do then Warren Barr is right for you.

This is a terrible place to work if you want any semblance of structure or if you value honesty. Management lies to employees and guests alike in order to cover for their intentional deficits in responsibility and care. I was not allowed to have a lunch break, I was never trained or even notified of new protocol (which changed on a weekly basis), and management completely disregarded me. Management is "on call" on the weekends and evenings but they will never pick up. When you point out deficits that require attention, management moves to blaming other employees. Edson from HR also skims employees. They purposefully understaff and over admit for the sake of numbers. The amount of stress this company had put on me was absolutely ridiculous for such a seemingly simple position. All of the problems you encounter are exactly that; your problems. 

The administrator  that is currently in place is absolutely wonderful!   He listens, he cares about the employees, and has heard our suggestions.  The leadership team here really cares. The facility is full of wonderful people that truly care about the residents and families.  Every nursing home has pros and cons, but WBNS is really truly changing for the better and I would highly recommend it.  The company itself  is the best company that I’ve ever worked for  and they truly find a reason to motivate and hear their employees. They care, recognize achievements,  successes and milestones.  Everyone who clocks in and walks in is treated as a person, is listened to, and the workplace environment is gaining its core foundation back with great people.  I could not ask for a better facility and team.
