Best Place to Work - Certified Nursing Assistant CNA Frontline Management Employee Review

Small, privately held company. Ideas are encouraged, leadership has integrity. Autonomy to be creative and effective - not a "cog in the wheel" feel.

Not a huge organization with ample funds to offset smaller, distressed properties.

The individual workers were great. Even the corporate reps' seem to really care about the residents. But to say this company is cheap is to cheapen the word cheap. They let the facility get so run down that they could be called slum lords. OK, a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. They sold out to Ensign Group, who specializes in struggling senior care facilities. They just abandoned the place their last month. Didn't pay the bills, didn't respond to anything residents needed, they just bailed. The most galling thing of all was their complete lack of truthfulness with the employees. Some were laid off with only days, or hours' notice. Yet they told us all that we would all stay on with the new company. Ensign Group, for their part, appears to be even cheaper, more soul-less and uncaring of their resident's quality of life. So, this facility looks like its going to continue its high turnover, low pay, low morale environment. What a freaking shame! Good residents and good employees all. But with owners who worship the sign of the dollar like it was an idle, I don't have a lot of hope. Very sad.

Barely a good first job. Non-existent training for new employees, yet they hire folks with no experience because they can pay them less.
