You are able to connect with the residents in memory care and become part of their lives.
Cons
The nurses never checked on the residents. Management only would come every so often to put on a show that they care. The lack of action to reports of abuse, neglect, and recklessness makes it apear they don't care. High overturn.
-SOME of the residents are the sweetest people ever
- You get to meet really cool people
- Short Shifts
- Never work later than 8pm
Cons
- Management is cruel and overbearing.
- revolving door staff
- You have no value to the overall company
- They WILL cut your pay
- Micromanagement
- HORRIBLE kitchen standards
- They pay you BARE MINIMUM and expect FLAWLESS work
- The overall system is HORRIBLE
- You WILL be screamed at by a senile old person
- Pervy old men
- The residents will ALWAYS blame you for everything. At least once per shift I was told the food sucked and to change it, but I had NO power over that.
- Residents dying (it's just very sad)
- I had the LAZIEST coworkers and they were never punished
- I was over worked and under paid
