Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 5 December 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI worked as a personal support worker at millcreek for 4 years. Over those years I had many good shifts and also many bad ones. There were times we worked short with just 2 psw's on evening shift, and management who were working evening (nurse managers) were resistant to helping with care. There were lots of good RN's and RPN'S who would help but that also depended on the nurse. Overall it was stressful, but when you got onto a floor full time and got into a routine it got a bit easier. Also they had so many bed alarms, chair alarms, floor alarms, it was insane the amount of alarms they placed on falls risk residents. Very Fast paced
Pros
Benefits, lots of hours available
Cons
Stressful

the residents and the fact that i was helping people was the only good thing about this job. they didn’t offer any programs to become a psw. which is too bad

Busy and good people to work with - even during Covid-19
Dietary Aide (Current Employee) - Barrie, ON - 14 June 2020
Nice place to work, friendly people, very careful of clients' needs and very clean. Staff is well-respected by management and has strict policies in place to handle Covid-19 pandemic. There have been no cases of the virus at the long-term care facility that I'm aware of.

Was a very stressful atmosphere
Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 9 April 2020
Staff can be very cliquey making it difficult to learn the ropes as a new staff member. Also can be bounced around to different floors if working casual which can make it hard to get into a routine.

Always short staff
RN (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 20 January 2020
Awlays short staffed. Calls from cyner voice multilple times a day-gets super annoying.
Stressful job with lots of additional duties assigned all the time.
Always getting new people on the management team cause they quit.
Teams are nice for the most part. Very gossipy

review
PSW/Caregiver (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 20 December 2019
mill creek was an okay place to work at in the beginning in 2016. they have lots of turn overs, and more then enough casual staff but yet decline full timers stat requests.
majority of staff and management are nice and understand but obviously to an extent. not much sympathy from others. i would recommend working here if you have a strong back bone, and are will being treat not fairly.

Modern facility
Registered Practical Nurse (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 2 September 2019
Mill creek care centre was a nice facility to work at. Clean home and most staff were good. Psw’s each had a phone which is helpful. Pay was 23 starting out if you didnt have experience. 12 hour shifts for rpns. Auto dialler calls for shifts. Not many shifts were available to pick up after they changed to 12 hour shifts. Few opportunities for advancement. Good place if you are starting out as a nurse. Management was ok.

Rude managers and poor working conditions.
Dietary Aide (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 21 March 2019
Managers are very rude and not understanding of people lives and they expect you to be on call 24/7,
Never having any of the equipment we needed to do our jobs, shortage of plates for residents, shortage of cutlery and cups, serving spoons. Kitchen would not make special meals for residents and they management didnt care. Disgusting way to run an old age home. Wont work here again. Pay was also quite low.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything.

Always Shifts available!
Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 10 March 2019
I did enjoy working here for the most part! It pays well and there were always shifts available, which is nice if you're looking for extra shifts. They are often short staffed, and if you don't know the unit or residents it can be very stressful, but it gets better with time! The staff are pretty good overall, though they love to gossip which can add unnecessary stress to the job. The residents are amazing, they have the best personalities and you'll learn so much from them!
Overall it can be challenging but it is a great learning experience and you'll meet so many wonderful people along the way.
Pros
Amazing residents, always shifts available.
Cons
Short staffed, staff gossip

Great Co-workers and Residents
Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 25 May 2018
Terrible Management, poorly managed by all levels of management. Constant staffing changes provide unfavourable conditions for residents and their continuity of care.
Cons
Cinder voice CONSTANTLY calling for shifts that you're already working or aren't available
