Pioneer Manor

I typical day at work would be starting at 0700 with nursing report and from then on getting the list of residents you had to help get up for the morning! from then on you have 0700 to 0900 to dress and wash about 10 residents for the morning and have them in the dining room ready for breakfast! After breakfast you would get a 15 min break and then head back onto the floor for your assigned residents for bathing. lunch as at 1200 and had to have all residents back into the dining room for that time. After lunch my co-workers and I would team up and have residents back into be for am afternoon nap. The next thing would be charting what was done on each resident on your shift.

I have learnt how to time management my time and how to work as a team player!

The hardest part of my job would be having assigned different residents every day on the job. However I learnt fast on how to adapt to change.

The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be the enjoyment of helping out people who most need it and being there for someone and also interacting with each individual.

pioneer has some of the most amazing residents, i had an amazing time with my placement as a psw at pioneer, it is so rewarding to help the individuals that cant always help themselves and its great to be able to just talk to them and make them smile or laugh, most of the staff i worked with are amazing individuals who love there job and love the people they care for but there are some who just try to get through the shift, all in all its good money and as long as you go in with that care in your heart nothing will stop you

Pioneer manor is a city job, therefore the pay is the best it gets in our city... the atmosphere can be a little hectic and fast paced but this is to be expected in health care as every minute counts... pioneer manor is an amazing place to work. Its clean, the staff and management are friendly and it didnt take me long to feel like I was really part of the team.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work enviroment is accommodating and everyone culture is respected

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is all work while mandatory breaks are observed

Its fast paced its always under staffed and not safe . To me you are just a number .They dont care how things are ran, and Scheduling is a joke. The good things are the residents , they become like family . If you make it to full-time they have good benefits and vacation package. Its hard to secure full-time they are always temp full-time postings. They want you to work full-time hours without the benefits.

I used to see 29 to 32 residents in a day and sometimes these reached to 35 to 40 with 1:1 treatment. I learned variety of exercises. I learned how to manage my work efficiently. Hardest part of the job was to finish the decided number of residents to see in a day. Dealing with the residents and talking to them everyday made it the most enjoyable part of the job.

Every shift is great. Learn all sorts of things on a daily basis such as new ways to transfer residents to save your back. Management is great and helpful. Coworkers all believe in teamwork. The hardest part of they day is when a resident is resistive, but easy to work through. The most enjoyable part is being there for the resident as number 1 and their families.

Loved working here on afternoon shift.
Staff is very friendly, everyone is helpful with each other. Staff is very well educated & updated 
With new policies/ safety education. 
I would recommend this facility to anyone that is serious in healthcare field.
