HERITAGE GREEN NURSING HOME

I would prepare juices and milk and serve the occupants. My co-workers and management were all very friendly and easy to work with. The hardest and most enjoyable part of my job was to hear some elderly patients stories. Some told stories about their families not visiting and some of the great times they had. Each day was a new experience and I thoroughly enjoyed socializing with them all. Although I learned that in a professional setting you need to separate yourself emotionally from situations. You find yourself sympathizing with some people more than others when their stories were sad or they were extra friendly. The difficult occupants who refused to eat needed a lot of patience and persistence.

They are always under staff and the workload is very heavy. They do not listen to staff concerns and there is no employee involvement. They have a very high turnover for a reason. They do not care about you and never will. They have a ridiculous rule with the dress code. You are forced into buying white shoes, you are not allowed to have coloured hair. They do not want the staff to wear make-up. When you get hired the staff do not help you and you have to figure it out on your own.

I love working with and serving the elderly. The job is doable.  But based on my experience, problem of bullying is not addressed effectively. This has made workers scared to work.  Sometimes evident harassment is never solve in a professional manner. Heritage green nursing home is a christian based facility and the management believe in forgiveness and long suffering. So when complain is brought out, it's not addressed effectively.

The most enjoyable part of my job as a Charge Nurse is that I get to meet some great seniors in my facility. Staff are eager to help you. If you respect other staffs, they will respect you. Every day is not a same day. Learning is an ongoing journey in this facility. They have mandatory monthly online lessons or courses which ensures that you stay ahead in the game! 

Management was unapproachable as well
as unsupportive. I would never recommend anyone work there. The moral was very low as well as a very narrow minded view. 

A typical day involved assisting residents to go to events within the building, talking to residents, playing games with the residents, making sure each resident has company.

heritage green is a fun workplace environment and most of the residents are fun and good to be around with whether it be a friendly visit or transporting them to meals or special functions

Most staff and management are very friendly and caring.  Looking out for the residents. Days are very busy, like all nursing homes, there is never enough staff.

One of the best places I ever worked for in my years of working in the health care field. The staffs work well together as a team and you can talk to any manager or team leader about any issues
