Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence

HazelDeanGardens is a great place to work as far as clean safe environment. Residents are very well taken care of and between co-workers and most nurses they are very good at team work. Unfortunately due to no union some of the leading staff tend to favour some and not others. Management often sides with one main person. During some shifts you get staff that only work alongside certain people and when it comes to reporting issues you might have if the team lead doesn’t agree management won’t either. Management seems to only appreciate the sacrifice of a few employees. The work environment can be negative and stressful depending on who you are working with especially on day shift. 

This is a terrible place to work. Management doesn't care about their employees and talks behind their backs. I was talked to like I was incompetent by co workers ans they'd take over what I was doing. I missed a few days due to being sick and management was awkward with me after and I was also harrased by a me co workers in an elevator multiple time which he was never reprimanded for. I highly do not recommend this place especially if you don't want to be harrased. I would go to work in a good mood and come home In a bad mood because of the way coworkers and management treated me. The owners and management only care about themselves. Terrible job. Not worth it. I'd give it a zero If I could.

I loved working there. Although, there  are some nurses and PSWs but nurses in particular that do not treat residents right, they boss them around, and the residents are very stressed because of those staff members who do not treat residents as individuals. Unfortunately, the managers keep those nurses (they are great and knowledgeable, I agree with that but they are rude to residents and have no compassion). The managers keep those nurses vs nice, and kind, and companionate nurses, who really care about the residents. Sad...


Depends on who the manager is, but at the time the manager chose favourites and wouldn't give the hard working people the better hours or pay. When there was management turnover, things got better. Co-workers were awesome and the residents were a dream. The management and owners however, if they did not like you then you were not respected. Again favouritism is huge here. But there were good working conditions and generally could be worse. 

Very unprofessional management and owners. They dont care about employees, they expect the most and give the bare minimum, they are very ungrateful no matter how hard you work.

There is ALOT of gossiping, bullying and favoritism, the DOC and the evening team lead are one of the cause and lead for that. 
 
Very unhealthy environment.

Little to no training. Basically you're on your own after your first hour of work. Coworkers are very competitive and rude. You are looked down upon, if you're in a specific department/position. Barely any communication, and overall not an ideal workspace for anybody interested in working in a *professional* setting.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The support from the management, the kind residents and the great co-workers

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
as in every workplace, there is always stress. building good relationships with co-workers and residents lessen the stress

I was not happy working with the staff and management there. There was alot of  gossiping, bullying and favoritism and the DOC was never around. Not a happy place to work. 


Most residents were very sweet, but it could get very stressful when some residents got very impatient.

Coworkers were excellent and made me stay as long as I did.

Management was questionable and I ultimately left because of it. 

Non-toxic workplace. Once you get to know the residents and their families, work becomes less stressful. People are always willing to help -- PSWs, Nurses and Managers.
