Working in a rural/remote area with currently minimal support from corporate services can be difficult, however the on-site workforce is excellent.  Being head of a team that manages a facility for another provider has its pluses and negatives especially when it comes to finance.  The current uncertainty with the situation has prompted me to investigate other employment options.
I enjoy working with the elderly and am continuously looking for ways to improve my knowledge and skills.  Making a difference in a resident and their families life as they enter the last stages is extremely vital to me, and I strive to achieve best results for all concerned.

I worked in a part time basis, that was only 3 days a week. The usual office hours 8 to 4. I learned a lot from the manager and other senior staff that were willing to train me on the job of what was required a per company protocols. The work culture was easy going and friendly, learnt how to interact with members of the public and the long term patients. The hardest part of the job was learning about ACFI and funding and the financial applications for the long term residents. It was good to learn these thing from the actual ACFI coordinators as they taught me what was needed to apply as a manager in my monthly reports.
The enjoyable part of my job was that it was 10 minutes from home.

worst place ever i wouldn't put my worst enemy in this place, food is horrible and the management are terrible no idea of running a home, she thinks she has more degrees than a thermometer, her brown nosers make trouble and bully other staff members, god help these poor newbies that go in there like agency workers, they give them the most difficult and heaviest residents to attend to alone. some staff are really good in this place like the night staff but majority of day staff are just kissing the FMs starfish. do your self a favor and stay away from this place its a dump.

Everyday is different, people are usually appreciative and kind.  Can laugh and enjoy the day.  I love working and am very good at my work. 
I would make an excellent advocate because it's all about the client and what they want to improve their lives.  
Organisations sometimes forget where their finance is coming from.

 My co-workers are caring and kind and it is rear I see them as I work autonomously. 

The most enjoyable part of the job are the people I work with the hardest part is not having anyone to support me when I need it.

It is a challenging but fun working in diverse cultures aged care. 

Everyday meeting with different background of external clients and also fulfilling and supporting the needs for internal clients and management.

Internal staffs are very helpful and friendly. Proper policies and guidelines to assist staffs in doing the job right. 

Management has an open door policy. Always welcome with feedback, new ideas and practices and comments.

I found this to be a shockingly bad organisation to work for.  I received no line management.   If a serious work incident had occurred, I had no-one to report it to or to receive personal support.  My clients reported that when they left phone messages with Baptistcare, their phone calls were not returned.  I formed the opinion that this organisation exists to maintain a financially well rewarded bureaucratic elite at the expense of its clients and frontline workers.

Dishonest managers. Gouging the funds that are meant to benefit package recipients. Aimless " leaders" with no idea about delivering proper health services, that bully those who do. Executive that make promises they do not keep. Expecting PCA's to work to unreasonable and unfair demands that sometimes actually leave them out of pocket, when they are already working hard on a very minimal wage to try and make a living. I would never want to work for them again and I would most certainly NEVER let them near my ageing parents.

A typical day at work consisted of regular nursing duties,care and providing family support as well as medication administration. I learnt how to supervise caregivers to ensure that the correct care was provided to all residents. My co-workers were friendly and supportive. The part I found most difficult about this job was not being able to spend more time with the residents and their families and the most enjoyable part of the job was bringing joy to the residents.

I had the pleasure of working at Yallambee for 8 months, Staff and management were wonderful and all genuinely cared for all the residents, The staff all worked well together and were always willing to help eachother when needed. I didn't find the job difficult as there was always someone to help when needed, I looked forward to going to work each and every day, and always felt confident and happy with my completed shift. I will dearly miss both staff and residents at Yallambee.

I was given a minimum number of hours to work during pick hours when the day was heaviest.
I had many concerns and every time you talked to management, the always had a solution which never took into account the worker's input or position.
The workplace culture was if you dope in you are the best. The place is culturally insensitive to a racial level.
The hardest part of the job was the racial prejudices a faced.
i never enjoyed working. I did too much for so little. I felt like a slave
