Support Worker
Support Worker (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 17 December 2021
Being a support worker brings together the bond of comradery unlike any other job; I was put into a team of people working around the clock, seven days a week, to take care of several individuals in a care home. This was a tiring and physically demanding job, but for meaningful work and relationships.
Pros
One meal provided per shift, some days are slow with a lot of downtime
Cons
Physically demanding, demanding of your schedule

A pleasure to be a support worker
Residential Support Worker (Current Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 22 July 2021
Overall, it is a blessing working at Bethesda Christian Association. A typical work day appears challenging, depends of the residents and their moods. As a support worker, you have to do your homework before going there as being relaxed and giving attention to the residents as much as needed as long they need your love and your attention. They become very attached and close to you if you are showing love and support them. If you love working with people with intellectual disabilities, it is not complicated. I always go with pleasure to work and if I have more then 3 days off, I already miss them.

Good attmosphere of commoradory and team work
Caregiver (Former Employee) - Kelowna and Penticton, BC - 17 March 2021
The primary focus is for the safety and well-being of the residents, and the staff display a good balance in making that a priority. The head office for Bethesda is in Abbotsford which requires the local manager to be skilled at bringing the two entities together, and the present manager is skilled and practical in making that connection. The home is governed by a union contract so there is always the process of balancing union and company concerns, but both sides have done well to compromise and negotiate the process to minimize the stress that could filter on down to the staff if not managed well.
Pros
meals included; interesting and exciting activities and outings with residents
Cons
rotation having everyone doing nights occasionally

Horrible place
RPW (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 22 February 2021
Poor management, so much gossip with staff, very stressful environment. Individuals come last there. You have to be a Christian to work there or pretend to be. You will be heavily judged on that
Cons
Treated poorly

Management Operates in Silos
Leadership (Former Employee) - Delta, BC - 3 February 2021
The Management operates in silos. Hiring processes are discriminatory to people who are not Christians. Salary is not good, and leadership is kind of secretive. Some staff is not qualified and cant is replaced. Lack of consideration for a different point of view and Leadership is very rigid, not friendly or compromising.

Our work environment had a peaceful and fun setting.
Care Aide (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 22 May 2012
Bethesda homes were just that A real home setting. The homes offered a peaceful and fun environment with all the surroundings that a home life should offer. Love, Joy peace and entertainment as well. There were daily programs appropriate to each individuals needs. A typical day was filled with, common daily schedules. Morning care and preparations dressing teeth face wash and scheduled baths. Breakfast and scheduled programs. Outings or visitors with family or friends. Swimming or going for walks. I learned how to relate and understand the individual's means of communication. How to deal with issues physical, health or emotional issues. Also with co workers. Learning how to communicate in a close environment from day to day. Agreeing to disagree. The hardest part of the job was to see any of the individuals suffer as they seemed to be more vulnerable to illnesses because of their mental and physical disabilities. Seizures for an example. And sometimes because the individuals could not verbally communicate It was not always easy to help them. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help them, and love them and receive the love back.
Pros
the benefits and pay
Cons
working the different shifts, having to leave your loved ones.
