Terrible management, rude staff, too many shortcuts

Personal Care Worker (Current Employee) - Golden Grove SA - 2 June 2018

Golden grove estia, terrible facility, management is incredibly rude and unhelpful, injured my arm talked to the executive director about it and she asked me "okay what do you want me to do about it" aren't we supposed to report injuries? The staff are underpaid thus leads to frustration, skipping steps in the care of residents and thus leading to an unhappiness in staff and between workers.

Cons

Low pay, few shifts, constantly looking for second jobs

Always short staffed, revolving door for managers

PCA (Current Employee) - South Morang VIC - 6 January 2018

A typical day involves assisting with residents ADLS, bathing, meals, toileting. We have been through so many managers, which has created a poor culture for staff and residents. The culture of bullying is back since another manager has left. It is common to see your team mates in tears and working short staffed is normal. The culture is becoming less about residents care and providing great customer service and more about profits. Estia doesn't seem to value staff or residents....just money...used to be wonderful....going down hill rapidly.

Pros

Getting to take care of beautiful residnets

Cons

Working short staffed, lack of AC in many areas, inconsistent management

Different work environment.

Assistant in Nursing (Current Employee) - Coolum QLD - 22 May 2017

Looking after resident's ADL's and making sure that they are comfortable, well hydrated and fed. Ensure no residents abscod from the Dementia Units, and liase with management on any aspects of the job or residents concerns that may need addressing at a higher level. Every day is different, that is the most exciting part, although you have to do the same work, the people who you deal with, may not have been the residents you dealt with yesterday, keeping you on your toes!

Pros

Good Team Environment.

Cons

Being on call, different shifts/times/areas.

Interacting with the residents

Personal Care Attendant (Current Employee) - Bentleigh East VIC - 17 April 2017

Caring for the residents, helping other staff members, residents are lovely, don't like the back stabbing and bullying environment. The hardest part of the job is when one of you favourite residents passes away.

Very work orientated environment.

As a AIN working for Estia Health Southport, I found it difficult to communicate communicate or suggest changes as the clinical director is often unavailable due to busy schedule.
