I’ve worked as a nurse, nurse manager, and director of nursing at apx. 30 facilities over the last decade (mostly as a travel DoN).Of all of the facilities I have worked at; this is hands down the very worst. I feel terrible for the residents in this facility. Unfortunately the facility is monarch, who cares about nothing other than breaking even, and they have installed an administrator who rules with an iron fist in this same way.The few permanent employees left are amazing. Unfortunately there are only 3 CNAs and 1 nurse left; because why would you work for someone who doesn’t care about anything other than making a buck? That doesn’t care about you, or your family, or the quality of care …This is also why the average tenure of director of nursing and nurse manager at this point is just a few months…. They can’t even keep temporary DoN’s such as myself making a hundred bucks an hour, because that’s how terribly they treat their people and their patients.I feel terrible for each and every patient and employee at this facility. So long as monarch owns it and the current administration is in place, I wouldn’t even put my dog here.
