review

Activity Assistant (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 13 January 2019

Working at Holland Christian Homes has directed me on my path to becoming a nurse. The hardest part of the job is managing more than one resident at a time. It can be difficult at times to manage. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to interact with the residents and take part in the daily activities that go on everyday.

negative environment

Registered Practical Nurse (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 22 January 2019

Staff are neglected and left to fend for themselves, inadequate training provided and complete disorganization within the management team. Human resource department is run by highly insulting and negative individuals.

Productive and Team orientated place

Personal Support Service Worker (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 23 September 2018

This workplace is more of a home setting to provide care for tenants who are getting ill with age and are unsafe to be left alone. Daily duties include bathing, dressing, preparing meals, administering medications, assisting to handle emergencies, have a work phone to communicate with the department and all of the facility. Positive and friendly environment to work in, they do not focus only on the physical health but also their mental and emotional well being of staff and tenants/residents. The hardest part of the job was seeing someone in pain as I can be empathetic as I understand there pain and frustration. The most enjoyable part of the day is communicating with the amazing staff and tenants.

comfortable environment.

Personal Support Worker (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 15 August 2017

A good place to work where the managerial team isn't breathing down your backs. They expect the staff to act in a mature and responsible way. Because of that , the staff's behavior is that of a mature individual and not some one that is there for just a pay cheque.

Pros

lots of shifts

Cons

bad attitude from some staff

Holland Christian Homes - PSW review

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 6 April 2017

Very busy schedule due to staff shortage and cuts backs, thus, there is an increased workload for current staff.

Work Culture - is okay, at times it can be difficult to approach the nurses about a problem because everyone knows each other so sometimes you don't get the help and support you need.

Overall, the staff you work with make the difference between a good and bad work day.

Cons

not enough staff support, not enough supplies, no paid breaks, not able to take break

Fruitful place to work and learn at

RPN (volunteer) (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 22 December 2012

Saturdays can be very interesting because I get to learn many kinds of different things as a Volunteer. I learned how to give Medication to a certain patient. The whole home is maintained nicely, decent space, co-workers are cooperative and many more. Sometimes residents refuse to eat, take medicine, to walk etc which gets me a little head ache but it's OK with me because I like to convince them.
The most enjoyable part of the job is that I get to play with certain equipment or toys with the residents. They enjoy as well.

Pros

respectful workers
