Birchwoods at Canco

Shelly Warren

I worked there as agency for One day and it was my last. They gave me 27 resident's. 27. On my first day. The crma is not required to help on the floor. State of Maine has ratios for a reason to avoid injury and burn out.1 to 5 is state of Maine ratios. There was no organization, report, or communication. Meal times where a disaster as they pile to go boxes with food on it with NO NAME. It was top 5 worse places I've ever worked in my life. They would constantly call you on the walkie talkie if you are fast enough in there eyes, to answer a bell instead of helping you and answering it. They didn't even try to replace the 2 call outs they had that day. And didn't even tell me until over an hour into my shift that I was alone.No matter how good or how long of a cna you have been. 27 residents to much for ONE person. Would not recommend to work there.

We are ahead of others in terms of policies to avoid Covid 19. The results have been most encouraging as no one has contacted the virus. We are loved and served as if we are "kings" and "Queens"!!!

I can say that I really enjoy my job with this Company, arriving to work and getting the residents started for the day was the most challenging, because they were never in the same mood. Giving them choices of their own seemed to help get it done faster, letting them be involved. Having a plan and staying persistent while multitasking is very important along with fast and accurate documentation keeps things together, incase of any emergency that may occur where one resident require more attention than the other. Ive learned to stay ahead of my work and use any extra time to finish up with my “later in the day” jobs so things will go smoother through the day. The most enjoyable part of my job is to see the smiles on the faces when my day is done.😁
