BLACKADAR CONTINUING CARE CENTRE

Short staffed, or staffed with new grads that are inexperienced and unsafe. Management does not engage with staff or residents. 
The home does not have a generator or central air, the power goes off frequently leaving everyone in the dark and either cold or hot, depending on the season. There is not enough linen or supplies. There are no activities for the residents. Constant roll over of management and staff. The building is very old, shower floor leaks, minimal housekeepers and no security.
Look for other long term care homes if you want to keep your nursing license.

Years ago wonderful place to be now turn around go some where else. Always short staffed, always short for items for staff to do their job ( linen) rules don't only apply to some people. Some people are down the hall doing their work while others stand at the desk reading the newspaper.the front line staff never gets appreciated. Money for Christmas party was kept by Manger and staff recited nothing not even a card.. residents  not treated very nice by some people and everyone else looks the other way. Please if your looking to place family there or looking for a job please look else where

Fast paced, challenging career choice. Emphasis on time management, critical thinking and organization. Staff (registered and unregulated) give 110% in an effort to meet and exceed management, resident and family members expectations. The most enjoyable part of the job finding a few minutes to connect personally with a resident...they often given so much more then they take!

Staff are able to provide 1-1 care and build positive relationships with residents. Staff all work as a team. Take the time to get to know residents and there stories. Relaxed atmosphere for residents and variety of recreational activities cater to different population groups.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Plenty of shifts because there is never any permanent staff 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No support from management when you have a concern 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic! It’s like being back in high school with all the cliques. Ridiculous for a workplace

Management was extremely unorganized, patients were neglected and totally disregarded. Most co-workers were extremely nice but there were enough that weren't to make days harder than they needed to be. The best part of the job was the residents and getting to know them but it was hard to go home in tears every day.

Quite an old building. On first impression it gives off the vibe of someplace that won't be around for much longer. Constantly short staffed. Residents can be demanding. Coworkers ok in general, just not enough of them to make the shift run smooth.

Gossip non-stop..people are always criticizing behind your back. No matter how much you clean it's always dirty. Pay is minimum. Place sucks. Pathetic.

Good experience, met lots of great people. The pay was good, and hours were plenty if I wanted them. Most of the nurses were excellent and did their job well.

Long term care facility with poor standards for residents and staff. Shifts are always short staffed and morale is very low. Poor to non existent training.
