Vantage Living Inc.

The Vantage brand has a clear vision for the modern care and comfort of its clients and providing a supportive environment for its employees. Including  Real people and stories, client centred care, real food, and bright open floor plans.
With a new site such as The MEWS, it’s exceptional to see the strides the staff have taken to create a welcoming safe environment, and in 5 years expand by another 60 beds. 
The staff put their best foot forwards, even when faced with long hours and working without enough staff. You can tell they care. The management run a tight ship, with limited hours and resources themselves, and now looking after two buildings.  Even they step up to fill shifts create minimal staff safety plans and ensure there is someone there even sitting in themselves.
At current there is a critical staff shortage. This is beyond our managements control, and it effects not only this site but the profession as a whole and this area. 
It’s also an opportunity for this company to stand out and show their forwards thinking for not only good business but how it takes care of their clients and staff alike. This nursing team needs more caring and talented employees to realize the vantage vision.
There will always be challenges in nursing in general, it’s how we effect positive change that sees us through.
I believe in this company and would invite those who want to make a difference to come join our team.

Yes we may be over worked and under paid but it is our choice to work here.  Yes management may not be all sunshine and roses but we should remember they get stuff piled on them from both ends and they are trying to keep their own heads above water. We should also remember that this is a business for those at the top of the totem pole and at the end of the day, they want to make money. We choose to be here! The benefits are pretty good (better than some I hear) and if you want a full time job with benefits so you can actually plan your life and be paid for the holidays you take then come work with us. Our program manager is in awe of how we step up and help each other out. We are a compassionate well oiled machine, despite management. We are also the preferred site by many doctors who have commented that they wish all their patients in care were with us. We are organized and our quality of care shows in the health and happiness of their patients - OUR person's in care. If you have a strong desire to care for the elderly and  want to become part of a "family" in the preferred site in Salmon Arm, then come work with us. If we are fully staffed with a decent pool of casuals then the over worked component that we comment on will disappear.

The salmon Arm site has some truly amazing staff members. However until some major issues are dealt with, it’s not going to be the best job out there. The company does not have competitive wages and is suffering from a terrible staffing shortage. Management could also use one heck of an attitude makeover, but I actually think they may be working on that already. The receptionists are very rude and could use some retraining absolutely, and management should really get on that ASAP. But I really think if these problems were addressed and fixed it could be one of the best jobs you’ve ever had. 
Care staff are absolutely amazing. They work hard, and work extra hours until they burn out trying to help with staffing shortages. They’re funny, and caring, and will have your back. 
Yes this company has a lot to work on, but at least one of the major problems would be solved by hiring more staff. And if you’re hired you’re highly likely to be offered one of the open lines, so job security and a regular is a plus!

Typical workdays are not bad, coworkers are very easy to get along with and make the day much more enjoyable. Some workdays have absurd workload when short staffed, it's a coin toss if management will care about being short staffed and come and help out.

The management on site is constantly changing while never addressing and solving actual issues on site. Staff turnaround rates are usually a revolving door and the people who stay longer are there for a couple years until they get fed up with constant lies. 

The hardest part is the sub par food cost per resident and not being able to give them what they are paying for.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to interact with the residents, it feels like having a ton of loving grandparents who will always ask you how you're doing. The coworkers here are all great people, they're hardworking people who are in the job for the residents.

Comparable to giving birth to quadruplets with horns, with no medication, in a broken down car, on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. I would actually probably prefer that, over working here. Coworkers are great, residents are great. Management however, are toxic, racist, demeaning, degrading, narcissistic, condescending, and unappreciative people. We are overworked and underpaid. They hire based on favoritism.  General manager tries to show he cares but can treat staff like children who can be bought with food and gifts. The Director of Care is quite frankly the most condescending, narcissistic, demeaning person and she treats her staff so poorly. We never even felt comfortable asking her a question because she just makes you feel stupid. I would not recommend working for this company to my worst enemy.

This is one of the most frustrating places of employment with a high ratio of unsatisfied employees. We get new graduates Care aides hired in straight from school and close to half quit within the first week as our employer treats them horribly and constantly makes employees run short staffed causing everyone to burn out, and burn out fast. Even seasoned employees that have worked for the company for years would tell you to run if you were ever to think about working for this company. They do not care about the employees, don’t give regular raises, and will switch your work schedule on you without even telling you. If I could rate this employer with 0 stars I would. And this is coming from a current employee. I advise anyone applying here to avoid this place like the plague

Staff is not valued 
Overworked underpaid
Was let go while off surgery on leave
They are poor management
Dont work here if you want to be a valued employee 
Supervisor would not allow job responsibility to be performed. was the worst experience. 
Supervisor had no way to supervise with management refusing to allow tasks to he preformed. Cant have surgery with out loosing you job.poor place to work 
Staff is under high stress. And no loyalty to one another. No team spirit no team work. Lots of reviews in house so head management was aware of issues and no one helped the location. The head management allowed all legal and ethical rules to be broken ongoing. Theft was allowed and blamed on innocent coworkers when cleaning staff was allowed to bring in bags and tenants were yelled at to keep belongings locked up in their own homes it was disgusting sad and I dont recomend this employer at all!

This company has a lot of growth potential.  They truly care about every employee and this is imperative as each employee truly cares about their job and the people they look after.  I learned a lot about elderly care, the type of support employees need during times of grief and stress, and the wealth of knowledge the elderly possess.

  The hardest part of the job is a direct consequence of the type of work; when the tenant(s) get ill or pass away.  Consoling surviving family members is difficult and helping them get through such a tough time is more rewarding than words can express.

  The best part of the job is working with such a group of caring individuals.  These were the most dedicated, caring, and fun loving people I have worked with in a long time.  Also rewarding, as mentioned, is making such a difference in the lives of the elderly and their families.

This company does not care for their employees!!! We are forced to work short staffed constantly, we work in an unsafe environment, we are bullied into taking extra shifts, denied holidays, so burn out is very common. Our lines are constandly changing with out warning, when we bring our concerns to mangement we are told to deal or quit. Our lines our now being changed to 12 hours to cut cost, forcing us out of our lines and some out of a job. Our wages are the lowest in the area,. This company has potential with better mangement and the staff is very amazing and caring, and go above and beyond to make sure residents are taken care of.

Management doesn't care about staff. No matter how sick the HCAs are they are they feel pressured into coming into work. All management  wants is a  body. It doesn't seem to matter how sick we are. I used to take pride in working for this company now I feel embarrassed. I don't feel the residents are getting the best care they deserve because of being short staffed all the time and we never have sufficient supplies to take proper care of these amazing human beings.
