This job was working at the reception desk. I did many of the office administrative jobs, example time sheets for all the staff, finding staff to come in for the day, also answering inquiries by residents. Also if I was the only one working I would have to answer the emergency calls which would require going to the seniors apartments, calling ambulances and keeping the person comfortable till help arrived. I would help in the dining area at mealtimes also.

I found it a very busy job with a lot of variety which I enjoyed. The management were very good to work with as was the staff.

This was a job with a lot of variety, A typical day of work was starting at 7:00 a.m. and making sure that the front desk was set up for the day with the different forms used. Once other office staff arrived I would do typing or whatever else was needed. I interacted constantly with the seniors who lived there. That was the most enjoyable part of my job.

The hardest part was if an emergency bell was rung. I would then have to go to the suite and call an ambulance if needed. I would have their medical information ready for the paramedics to take.

Poor management, poor work ethic from other staffs.  Staff drama and two face people.  Residents only good thing about this place.  Too many job tasks for care staffs and terrible pay.  Medications get passed onto care staffs constantly. Rules only followed when they see fit.  High turn over rate, maybe due to poor pay, little recognition and terrible management. Executive Director is all for show, don’t care about staffs or residents just appearance. Keep looking for better jobs, they’re out there!

No staff support . 2 caregivers on the floor for more than 30+ residents. Have to do personal care, food serving , toiletting, dishwashing and laundry. Staffs had always booked off last minute and had no commitment with their jobs. The supervisor an LPN was a know it all person her name was Nahid. A very condescending person she has very poor management skills, low morale , and accusing staffs and two sided face.

Management seems to believe that the job market is overflowing with candidates, and as a result, they treat their employees poorly, disregarding their rights and well-being. They even go so far as to arrogantly claim that the union cannot challenge or hold them accountable. This attitude reflects a serious lack of respect for the workforce and undermines the principles of fair and ethical leadership.

College Park Retirement Residence took a chance on me and let me run their kitchen for a four month term. The residents welcomed the changes I made to the menu and were very disappointed when I had to go as my term was up. It was very much a family environment there and I was saddened to leave.

I found working with seniors to be the most rewarding part of this position. Residence Director sets the tone for poor moral with gossiping and accusatory behaviors, showing no appreciation for hard working and loyal employees.  Industry best practices are not followed.
