Expérience unique et à refaire
Responsable des loisirs (Ancien employé) – Kelowna, Columbie-Britannique, Canada – 17 septembre 2012
À l'arrivée, on organise notre journée d'après un horaire pré-établie avec notre employeur. On va ensuite donner le déjeuner dans la salle à manger et superviser un peu le tout. L'avant-midi se ponctue généralement de visite chez les résidents et de travaux manuels (pour les activités en après-midi). On va ensuite donner le dîner dans la salle à manger. Vers 13h30, les activités commence. Dans se travail, on peut vivre des moments de stress relié à l'état de santé des résidents. Certains événements nécessite un recours à la débrouillardise. Il faut avoir des réactions à la fois rapides et réfléchies.
Points positifs
création de lien avec les résidents
Stay away!!!
Health Care Aide (Ancien employé) – Taber, AB – 19 octobre 2019
I worked here for several years. It started out ok but for the last couple years it became an extremely toxic environment!
Management has their favorites and they can get away with anything. If you’re on managements radar and not a favourite make sure to have your union rep on speed dial as you can expect to need them lots!
This was one of the worst places I ever worked at (going by the last couple years).
Always short staffed and little to no support from management!
Wages and benefits are good but that’s the only positive I can mention at this time!
Also lots of bullying from co-workers.
Please think twice before working here! Not worth the stress!!

Recreation Aide (Ancien employé) – Kelowna, BC – 1 octobre 2019
As a rec aide you are literally paid to go have fun, games, sing-a-longs, baking, arts & crafts and snacks. Unfortunately death sucks & it happens very regularly because you are working with seniors.
Good company to start in after college.
Health care Aid (Employé actuel) – Spruce Grove, AB – 21 août 2019
Friendly staff. I enjoy taking care of the residents and doing my job as a Health care aid. Yes long 12hour shifts but I enjoy having every second weekend off and you do get compensated for night premiums.
The staff are great but the work environment was not
Care Aide (Employé actuel) – Gibsons, BC – 15 août 2019
Very busy without adequate staffing. Management is adequate and do listen to concerns but corporate office does little to address concerns on staff and resident safety.
Fun workplace, great enviroment
Food Service Aid, Cook (Ancien employé) – Cardston, AB – 12 août 2019
It was a great place to work with great staff and of course awesome residents. Can be hard at times with all the diets to remember but it pays off making those residents happy.
fun place to work at
Dishwasher (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 9 août 2019
it was a fun experience to learn how this place takes care of the elderly and how they are able to feed and shelter everyone and how the food is made and served to all the elderly resident that are living here and are helped 24 hours

Management has their favorites if your not one of them, you don't matter. Lack of communication between management and staff. You will never be noticed for what you do over and above, but management always notices the negative.
Productive, great learning atmosphere
LPN (Casual) (Employé actuel) – Lethbridge, AB – 10 juillet 2019
Love working here, each day I get to learn and be apart of something bigger from helping each resident to helping staff and learning more about my career from more experienced nurses.
Toxic
Executive (Ancien employé) – Edmonton – 9 juin 2019
When you first start, you will think the organization is phenomenal, but be warned, the honeymoon phase definitely wears off. You are set up to fail from the very start - no orientation, no guidance, no communication. There are all these policies you need to follow, specific forms that need to be filled out, and you are simply expected to figure it all out on your own and "just know" what to do.
The people who don't work hard and are moody/disrespectful to others will always prevail. If you do your job well, you are in jeopardy. You will be given gifts in certificate form but will never receive an actual gift. You will be complimented profusely and then suddenly treated like garbage. If you are the lead on a major project, you can guarantee someone else will take the credit for your work.
Usually non-profit organizations are very careful when spending donated/government money, but this company continuously spends copious amounts on catering, travel, parties, etc. For an organization who prides themselves on servant leadership and religion, they certainly do not lead by example. They cater to bullies, complainers, etc. so if someone has it out for you, be prepared to feel ostracized by most executives.

Health Care Aide (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 31 mars 2019
You get to choose the work with in your availability and have the time to balance work and family time. Willingness to work under pressure during under staff and happy at the same time rendering your service that you make clients happy.
Dealing with behavioural clients is a tough one, no matter how you work hard.
Management lack of support in dealing of clients to employees issues that is not a big deal. That may cause of employees dismissal.

Very productive opportunity to learn management skills
Team Coordinator (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 19 mars 2019
I had a good experience working with this organization especially the experience I got in team leading. My manager was very understanding and willing to listen, even some of my concerns could not be amended at my manager's level. I had an opportunity to work on my personal and clients goals successfully whilst I worked at Good Sam, I was afforded an opportunity to prove by skills and qualifications without being judged. The staff that I worked with were amazing and worked as a team.
Points positifs
I agreed with most of their working conditions
Points négatifs
Salaries are not competitive with other similar organizations
pretty good place to work
Health Care Aide (Employé actuel) – Lethbridge, AB – 7 février 2019

Points positifs
lots of casual hours
Points négatifs
short notice for shifts, management hovers
Can be a great job depending on who you regularly work with.
Health Care Aide (Ancien employé) – Alberta – 1 février 2019
Management did an okay job to make the workplace a positive one. Issues between staff were not addressed well, just a bunch of catty people that will tattle/backstab and be dishonest tbh. Unfortunately that can happen easily in a female dominated workplace. The daily tasks can get quite overwhelming and you are often asked to stay late or come in early as a lot of employees seemed to call in sick willy nilly (and you know for a fact they were not sick) ..but in contrast vacation or time off request is often denied so I could understand why people would want an extra break after a particular stressful work week. They don't care how tired or beat they have made you after adding tasks to the already big pile of work to do, and if you make a mistake after the consequential fatigue they get very upset I feel that my location was poorly managed. Not enough staff so when one person calls in sick or couldn't make it, you knew it was going to be a bad day picking up the slack. But that's health care jobs for ya.
Points négatifs

tumultuous time within the management at the moment. Many significant changes in structure, growing pains. Great people to work with a real family supportive atmosphere.
