Oakwood Terrace

What is the best part of working at the company?
My experience at Oakwood terrace was awesome for my skill placement. i worked at dementia unit and i was able to perform different task excellently.  i am interested, willing and available to work in different unit. Either home care or long-term  facility, as i  am patient and a compassionate caregiver.  Taking care of resident / client is my passion. Efficient usage of mechanical lift, bed birth, partial bath, bed pan  usage and many more. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing is stressful about working at Oakwood terrace, i enjoyed every bit  of task i was assign to do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A conducive environment they got in Oakwood terrace.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The routine can vary greatly depending on the  facility  or homecare, and the specific role of the CCA.

I was fired when I was legitimately sick with pneumonia during my probationary period. Prior to this, I was always told how well I worked, and how good I got along with all the employees. Did not seem to matter that I got ill and had to call a few sick days in a row despite having a doctor's note. On top of that, some of the CCAs were extremely rude, the majority of the employees would just gossip and speak badly about people behind their back, and a lot of them did not want to help with care for someone who was a two person lift, etc.

On top of that, when I was fired I found out by not being able to log into my account, so they forgot to actually tell me I was let go....

Absolutely unprofessional place that cares more about having terrible, consistent employees than having a good employee who called in sick a few times in a row for a legitimate health issue.

When working here this past year, I was told I was doing great I had thought the staff were understanding that this had been my first job in healthcare. I am a hard worker and I would pick up many shifts including work short staffed frequently. I had one shift that no one would allow me to do anything except for night lunch or be time snack. During my probationary period, my shifts were disappearing. I had been called after 3 deleted shifts saying they had to let me go. I had been inexperienced and not doing anything properly if at all. I had heard someone say I was immature (early 20s with people over 30). 
I loved the residents and I loved the experience in healthcare however, I do not appreciate how I was treated as I was hired elsewhere and I’m still employed there with no complaints. 

I worked here for a few years in the recreation department  and it was by far one of my favorite positions! 

My manager was very accommodating, and always encouraged growth for all their employees. I never felt "stuck", I felt like I was always learning (in a good way). Great environment and a very fulfilling position. 

Worked there last year as an LPN wasn't impressed with staff just being new and didn't know the residents the charge nurse was all over me when trying to give my meds out stressing me out so much wouldn't leave me alone to do my job
 As for job advancement forget it they told me to apply for positions and I did a few time but the jobs are kept for other staff they choose so I resigned and left.

I can't see myself working anywhere else. I started May 30th and I've grown so much as a CCA ~ Staff is amazing to work with, management is easy to talk too, and I apricate the calls and overtime for work. Residents are wonderful, and families are usually great! I can see myself retiring as a CCA from Oakwood someday. 

Oakwood Terrace is a wonderful place to work. The staff members are welcoming and very supportive.  It's a positive work environment. The staff members treat their residents with kindness and respect.

Do not recommend working here unless you love the catty ness of the other employees if your not liked as a resident your treated completely differently then the ones who are the motto is everything you know from being taught properly throw it out the window I honestly feel bad for every resident that isn’t a favourite in that place it’s sad 

I did my placement here and it was great one of the best nursing homes in my opinion, great staff and nurses they really care and what they do with the with all the activities and music is great it gives the residents a  bunch to do so they don't have to stay in there rooms all day

They have very old nurses that deserves retirement, who does not know what time is saying any longer. If I can give this company zero, I will do that. They deserve zero rating. Very poor environment
