Working at Brookdale Senior Living in Puyallup, WA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Puyallup, WA Area

"After 9 years I just don't know how to express my gratitude for the more then generous raise I received. The 14 cent raise should help me and family have a better quality of life. NOT. I worked alone in the building as the only dayshift caregiver for months because the rest quit. I couldn't give showers, I couldn't keep and eye on everyone, I couldn't give them what they deserved or were paying for. Management helped with nothing. I did it all. And I'm not even worth a quarter. Not even a full 15 cents. All my back breaking work over the years, all the hard times, and all I'm worth is a lousy 14 cents. SMDH."

"I have worked at the Courtyard for over 5 years. I stay for the residents, that's the only reason I am still there. The pay is horrible. No incentives at all. Even the residents talk about how horrible the company is. We are so short staffed our med techs on day shift take turns working doubles every day. We have no RCD, no full time day nurse and the care staff is so short that sometimes there's only 1 caregiver for 3 floors. We never have all the supplies we need. We have to watch our overtime they tell us, but we have to work extra or who's gonna do all the work."
