Sunrise Health Region

When i was admitted in Sunrise Health Region,specifically at Presceeville Health and District Hospital as ESW,I begun as a casual on call.They gave me an orientation on the job, by my seniors.After that,they send me to YGH,Yorkton,SK.for a 5-days boarding.We were taught about different courses relevant to health workers,After that, I resumed worked  in Housekeeping and Laundry. The first week was rather tough for me,being new to the job.My supervisors were very understanding and patiently instructed all necessary procedures on each activity.They never showed any signs of disapproval.Hence,I was able to have a mastery of the job.Later on I applied as a temporary regular from which I was accepted.I was given more hours to work.This gave me enthusiasm to perform better.My Manager was very helpful and accommodating,specially to some issues that I encountered.There were three employees in a shift.We,really worked as a team .When one lagged behind schedule,somebody from us is always there to assist the guy.Out of responsibility,We always double checked our accomplishments before leaving the Hospital.Many times ,we had free lunches during special events and occasions.We were always reminded on safety such as PPE.When one was not feeling well,Management was always very concerned with the well being of employees.Respect for everybody,regardless of position or seniority,was implied.I really enjoyed working there,Albeit I voluntarily resigned for some personal reasons,Long live Sunrise HealthRealth Region. 

A typical day at work 
6:45am we have report our night nurse tell us what happened during the night people sleep well or did not sleep well 
7:00am we start helping people get up for the day help them wash, get dressed then help them to the dining room once everyone is up and at the breakfast table we then serve breakfast and help people eat.
Once everyone is finished breakfast we then clean up, wash faces, clean tables and put the food away etc.
We then start helping people have a bath and go to the washroom sit in recliner or lay down in their beds.
Then it is almost lunch so we help people get out of the chair or bed help them to the washroom and take them for lunch we help them eat and once again clean everything up after lunch and then continue to help people lay down or sit in recliner or go to the washroom.
And while doing all these tasks we try to ensure the residents are happy we joke around and visit with them.

I work 8 and 12 hour days
the ladies I work with are a pleasure which makes the work easy
the sorrow I feel for the residents... they built this country and now they are suffering... I find that very hard.
The most enjoyable part is the smiles and thank you I receive from the residents

Able to assist clients and co-workers on a daily basis to ensure their needs are met. Ability to deal with stressful and non stressful complications of needs. Ability to position the needs at a timely fashion which is not always possibe when 10 clients need the same time of day to be seen, with only 3 staff members to cover the need.

Way too much drama in this company!  They focus more on the “company” than the needs of the clients!...One is only allowed to voice their opinion IF it favours the company!!  Sad really! 😢

work at a nursing home with residents, help them with there adls everyday, I work with amazing staff and management is ok for the most part, only issue is there is a hard time finding people to work. the most enjoyable part is getting to kmow our residents and helping them out with that.

Everyone is always so much fun to work with here.  The environment is always so happy and everyone is always very helpful!  Management is very easy and understandable to work with as well.

I enjoyed working at this job. The management and staff were easy to get along with and i was able to spend time interacting with the residents that lived there.

Worked in a smaller community that treats the clients like family.  We tried putting the needs of the client at the forefront.  We tried making the care home like their home and let them have a say.

Poor work place environment lots of negativity, laziness and disregard for residents.  More concern about smoke breaks and long lunch hours than professionalism
