Eskaton Reviews

A few coworkers were lazy, unmotivated and would call off "sick" regularly which is completely unacceptable in my eyes. Often times we were unable to find another person to come in to fill that shift, so we'd be short staffed (only 3 caregivers for 45-55 residents). The AM shifts are insanely busy (and understaffed IMO) and extremely stressful. The upper management never seemed to understand that a caregiver can only be in one place at one time. At any given time on a shift I had at least 10 things I had to do (change a diaper, turn someone in bed, check on this person, shower that person, etc, etc.) I'm not complaining about the work, I just never felt like the upper management understood how swamped the care staff was. The care staff is ridiculously underpaid and under appreciated for the amount of work they do. I made 10.40 hourly while working there.. I make much more now installing blinds, which is nowhere near as important as caring for people. People flipping burgers at In n Out make more than that as well. The sad thing was, one of the best caregivers I worked with, who had been there for 5+ years, was still being paid less than me.

1 caregiver to care for about 20 people of varying needs, this is an assisted living facility yet there are many residents that need to be in skilled nursing. No bonuses, they actually took away a bonus I had earned and I had to argue with them to get it back. The management sucks, no respect or appreciation for their workers. This is a hard job and will wear you down fast. No opportunities for overtime, when they ask you to work overtime they take the pay out of your PTO. Most of the staff lack compassion so do not treat the residents well. Also the residents pay upwards of $7000 a month to live there yet they only offer minimum wage. If you are reading this, apply elsewhere. If you are considering putting a family member here please explore other options like Ponte Palmero or Gold Country or in home caregivers.
