The front desk clerk did not ask for ID and she didn’t let me and another associate in the building for two minutes as she carried a conversation with an associate. The nurse on the 4th did not help me with my assignment when I asked her. One of the staff members gave me report later on in the shift. One of the other associates claimed he didn’t know anything but he worked at the facility. These are just a few things I had to go to another floor to use their shower equipment to be told that the equipment on our floor was just fixed. That was employees not communicating. When going to a facility I don’t expect to be greeted at the door however I would like to work with people that have some idea about the unit and the residents and their care.

The staff was friendly, supplies were relatively stocked. I didn’t see the supervisor once, it was impossible to get anyone to sign me out. You could see that the staff was very close to each other and supported each other and I think that’s nice. Staffing was very communicative for sign on and assignment ahead of time. Rate was above average. Only real downside was the amount of staff outside at any given time smoking 🍃

For Nurses beware going to Echelon, they usually put agency on the 5th floor. You will work your entire 7.5 hours. On the High side 2 IV’s and 15 blood sugars before dinner and bed time. Fall risk Med Pass is long . You have one to ones. Patients sitting at the desk being watched. A patient told me an agency Nurse left mid shift a few days ago. I’ve come to this building plenty of times on different floors but, they’re having a hard time keeping staff Nurses on this floor. Good luck if you do pick up.

CNA make the assignment and they treat agency stuff bad when it comes to assignment. They don’t help. Agency. staff get the worst patient..

The staff was very helpful. I had 11 clients but only 2 were complete care. Most were rehab & didnt need too much assistance. The facility is very very old. Had some issues with the login info they provided to do my charting but it all worked out at the end.
