The Hamlets

Please take my review with the knowledge that I was a student there on my practicum for a short amount of time so my position as a Unit Clerk was unpaid. However I did get to work with many  people in different positions. Everyone felt like family. The management really appreciate the staff and they make sure that it is known. The place as a whole feels like a family and they really care about the residents.  
The hardest part for me was having to leave. I would have applied in a heartbeat but unfortunately I live in Calgary. 

The management are not personable. They are there for money. 
Care aides are over worked, paid low,  
Staff are hard to keep, so if your abusive, bully, or perverted you won't loose your job, they keep these staff working.
There are a lot of cutbacks, but mainly toward the residents, food has gotten poor, or lack of.
Honestly if you end up with a good team member you will be OK. 
If management can show staff they care, the place would be wonderful. 
Management needs to get rid of the perverted, rude, abusive staff.

Great place to start your career at, you get to se3e what a care home that is not run properly.  Management are good friends with the employees that seem to be bullies or just plain stupid.  
they been caught in residents bathrooms, having an affair with aides and nurses.
Those staff know that they will not be able to find employment elsewhere.  
So if you are a good worker, dont go here

Taking care of the elderly community

The residents are sweet, but this is a toxic workplace. Management is non-existent. No one gets proper orientation or reviews. Management never offers encouragement or support. 

No appreciation from management. The facility is way understaffed. Staff were overworked and underpaid. No assistance from management. Very is unorganized at times and not enough staff to cover duties and responsibilities.

the hamlets is a good care facilty everybody there is friendly and team work was great .i loved working at the hamlets i worked on the dementia unit everyday was a different day.they have amazing recreation aids and the food was homemade not frozen,

not a happy place to work.
extremely poor managment
heavy work load
poor employee attendance
extremely low moral

This was the worst place ever to work with out a doubt unless you support neglect and abuse of your clients. policies supported by management

I have worked for the hamlets in various cities and l found them to be poorly managed with unsatisfied staff members making for a negative work environment and work experience.
