Reviews for Health Care Aide at Avenir Senior Living
Pretty good balance
Health Care Aide (Current Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 16 July 2021
I have worked a variety of places as a HCA over a couple of decades. Resident ratios are generally pretty good here. Management is fairly approachable. Most of the coworkers are friendly and helpful. This is by far the best place I’ve worked. However the same problems face Avenair as most companies: short staff, toxic workers don’t have repercussions and never enough time to do all the other tasks( kitchen duties, stocking of rooms etc). But over all it is a great place to work.
Pros
Friendly staff and great residents
Cons
Short staff

Wouldn't recommend
Health Care Aide (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 24 October 2020
This would be a good start if you are a new grad, but if you have been a care aide in the industry for many years I would not recommend this place. There are no ceiling lifts in the rooms, the rooms have carpet which makes it hard to push the lifts around the room, and you barely have enough supplies to properly provide for the residents. Not to mention it's next to impossible to actually get vacation time off, and if you do happen to get approved for vacation you're made to feel guilty for taking the time off. The management team is notorious for belittling there staff and only getting staff "who go above and beyond" a Christmas gift card for Christmas
