Braemar Retirement Centre

all about the money. don't care about their residents or staff. extremely understaffed. the person who makes the schedules will purposely schedule you down the "hard" hall (most behaviors and 2 person lifts) if you decline overtime. (was scheduled down that hall over 18 times in a row while heavily pregnant and without help most days because we were so short staffed). there were times when we only had 3 PSWs to take care of the 65-73 residents all shift to the point the kitchen staff had to help. quitting was the best decision I ever made, residents and other psws were the only things keeping me there as long.

The coworkers at Braemar are the same as anywhere, some are easy going and great to work with, others are nothing but drama and make being at work incredibly uncomfortable. Management expects you to give everything to the workplace and leaves you burnt out and exhausted. Constant phone calls for overtime and double shifts. Short staffed all the time, yet management walks out the door at 5p.m with a smile on their face leaving the staff to figure out a solution. Your time is theirs and they expect you to not have a life outside of that. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots of hours .... Because no one wants to work 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Seeing the elderly abuse and the fighting/ throwing each other under the bus mentality of a lot of the workers 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, unsupported by management and everyone points fingers at each other 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up, do your job and go home

Management is horrible to deal with a lot of cleanliness issues cannot wear our winter coats into work area kitchen is dirty and issues with loved the residents but more care is needed for proper attention to individual needs it’s all drama drama drama always understaffed very unhealthy environment to work in so much disrepair it is the absolute worst place I have ever worked 

Braemar has had its challenges, no differently then any other ltc care over the last three years. Staffing is stable with higher psw ratios than most homes. Overall pleasant atmosphere with good teamwork. Residents are well cared for, and good leadership team who keep an open door policy. Many upgrades are being done inside the home, which is nice for the residents. Overall Braemar is a good home and is a good place to work!

Typical of any industry in today's world...staff shortages are the biggest issue which can cause unrest and unhappy workers.  
The staff at Braemar are hardworking and dedicated to the care of the residents.  In the 5 years I have worked there Management, staff and Union Reps have been committed in improving the facility and building a strong TEAM.  

I enjoyed my time at breamar the staff were awsome the management team always listened to you and helped guide you thru stuff so did the staff ! I was housekeeper there I enjoyed the department the girls were awsome to work with

Braemer is a fun work enviroment and working with the residents its usually quite fun. Most of the staff are very up beat. Often there are activities the residents will be doing and it is nice to see them having fun.

Agree with other reviews.  For profit home, treats staff well only if picking up lots of overtime.  Management has favorites that they cater to.  Great co workers but too few.  Poor work life balance.

This place is the worst ever. If you don't click with the groupies there you will not succeed.  The care for the residents is awful, and management is disgraceful, and poorly ran
