Very poor

Care Aide (Former Employee) - Prince George, BC - 11 September 2021

Not worth you time of day… management in most areas love you bully you. AND when you happen to get pulled in with HR do NOT expect professionalism they as well like to make sure you know you’re just a number and can be replaced. 10 years I wasted trying to find a good spot to work, spent 7 years with one site then was bullied by managers till I left. Now have 3 mental health diagnoses PSTD, Anxiety are the two of the most difficult ones to deal with.

Pros

Absolutely NOTHING

Cons

Absolutely EVERYTHING

Work with residents. Getting them up from bed in the morning. Helping feed breakfast, lunch and dinner if they need assistance. Then in evening put residents to bed after snack time. get everyone comfortable before filing paperwork for end of day and giving report to nurses.

Productive workplace

Care Aide (Current Employee) - Prince George, BC - 16 August 2017

A typical day at work is basically caring for the elderly, who can no longer care for themselves. We toilet them throughout the shift, its a very heavy job. At the end of the day we do our report and do our work sheets.

Pros

Spend time with people

Cons

Hard to not bring home sometimes

I very happy to be working within northern health. You get and learn the concept on How fast life can end .. but working with the elderly is very rewarding as you feel accomplished as you helped ppl that could not help themselves
