Markhaven Home For Seniors

What is the best part of working at the company?
The environment of this nursing home is very friendly and the director of care  has a supportive role for the staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Communicating with residents who have dementia can be stressful at times

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is positive, but sometimes some residents behave with prejudice

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I have a full-time job in the evening, and I take care of residents, give medicine, change dressings, and write reports.

A typical day at work consists of feeding in the morning and afternoon. Breakfast is followed by either exercise, current news, trivia or a spiritual program ( ex chapel service).
I learned how to work with people with different personalities, likes/ dislikes, interests and ranging abilities ( ex physical, cognitive).

The hardest part of the job is sometimes balancing all your tasks within a limited time period and on days when it is short staffed.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when the residents thank you or let you know about a program being well done.

A typical work day was entering data, answering and redirect any calls. I would also fill out any paper work that was handed to me. When I needed any help, my co-workers were great.The hardest part of this job was when I was ask any questions that were related to another department and I did not have the answer to it.
I am a people person and I enjoy meeting and talking with new people. While working at Markhaven I learned a lot about working in an retirement home and that was a great feeling.

I always look forward to my shift everyday......great staff, wonderful management team, nice & secure work environment. The DoC is just wonderful & very appreciative of your service, he makes you feel a sense of belonging in the Markhaven Team, regardless of your job schedule.

I loved working with Markhaven Home for seniors as we grow from a small home and demolished to a new state of the art facility. But like building looking different changes came along with the new faces and new attitude. But i love working there. We were family. We all had to adjust and roll with the pushes.

Staff keep grudges. Little cooperation most time’s. Too much work load and too little time frame. Nice clients but the staff are rude and impatient. Overall just ok

it was great working here. I enjoyed it and the staff

•	Encourage residents to develop leisure activities.
•	Implement/ facilitate programs of all 5 domains 
•	Proficient in ActivityPro and PCC such as assessing new residents, MDS
•	Encourage residents to acquire new skills and get involved in health-promoting leisure activities

The timing was according to my schedule.I go once a week, every wednesday. I had no co-workers. I worked under a supervisor, Laurie McClelland who was very kind and generous. The most enjoyable part of my volunteer experience is assisting the elderly.

Doc is like hitlar, everyone is rude but tip toe around him. Toxic environment, Dreaded coming in everyday. Pay is minimal, no is supportive. Always drama, staff is MISERABLE. Management is literally devilish and many codes of conduct repeatedly broken. 

Was a bit disorganized for awhile due to change in management. Current management seems good, and that things are settling. The staff have been there for years, and often are quite rude, and set in their ways.
