over three years ago I worked at a Regis and they spend very little money on residents. They wouldnt even buy a DVD player for them to watch movies.working for the Government is better pay I choose the hours I work to fit in with family and I really love the residents and the staff are extremely helpful with large events.
Hope you are treated better at another facility.

Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.
