I have worked at the Beatitudes Campus since March 2015. I started out working in Admissions at the Skilled Nursing Facility, which is where my previous experience led me. In early 2020 I transitioned to a new role as Senior Community Outreach Ambassador and made a move to the Marketing Department. I LOVE this campus! I live over an hour away, right next to the Sun Cities communities and the wealth of Life Plan Communities they have to offer. I happily drive past every one of those communities to work at the Beatitudes Campus. Having worked for and visited a multitude of communities I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, there is something special about this campus. Hands down the residents that live on this campus are among the friendliest, happiest residents you will find in the Valley. It's impossible to have a "bad day" when working at the Beatitudes. Plus, the campus has so much to offer, we truly due offer every level of care from luxury Independent Living patio homes and apartments to Assisted Living and Advanced Memory Care at the SNF level. We also offer a monthly rental option for our Independent Living residences. We have 4 different restaurant options, a Starbucks, and our own bar, "The Plaza Club." As someone who eats on campus every day I can tell you, the food is REALLY good too! Our residents take classes via our LifeLong Learners program and we have a wide range of activities and spiritual life services available as well.
I'm posting for my mother Geri. She states - "I recently moved into the Beatitudes Campus. The employees here are so friendly, helpful and professional. So now I can say unequivocally that my new home is comfortable and safe. I have been welcomed into a wonderful community am most grateful for the staff at Beatitudes."
Beatitudes campus is a poorly managed community if you're not with the higher ups then your not valuable, if only the residents knew how much the real workers cared.
Very bad place to work. Grandaughter told me they make ypu punch out then go back to work on your own time.
Both of my great grandmas have been here for 15+ years and both passed away during COVID. I feel like the staff handled it poorly not to mention they made us pay them $500 for movers to move her things out after she passed because we weren t allowed to move her things and what do you know her wedding ring came up missing. So mad we chose this place to put them in for so many years. They are over priced for remodeling 50 year old building a and the staff is all ghetto. Please pick a better place for your loved ones.
My 90 something parents lived at the Beatitudes Campus of Care for 5 years. Independent Living was excellent overall. I would give it 5 stars. Pros: great food and environment at several venues on campus, many great activities that were well communicated, nice apartments, helpful and empowering staff, and a happy and friendly culture among residents. Home Health professionals were A+++. Con: AC and heating dated and variable, maintenance and IT hard to contact and unpredictable. Assisted Living was another world, and I would give it one or two stars. Pros: Kind, friendly, genuinely loving caregivers and Med Techs, reasonably good food, good available activities at assisted and on-campus, small but adequate rooms in older but nice building. Cons: Caregivers, and Med Techs were consistently overworked, understaffed and disrespected by management (my observations, not their complaints, and I was there a lot). I could see their stress and also the way they shook it off to give 100% when with my parents. This environment resulted in medication delays, wrong dosing, and running out entirely (communication between staff, pharmacy, and medical) not just with my parents, but others. It also resulted in poor communication shift to shift, employees routinely covering needs by working multiple floors, double shifts and days off. Management was pressed my me and others before me for changes; they were not addressed promptly if at all. I see a management-heavy authoritative culture brewing that is harmful to resident-contact staff, and therefore residents. I saw Admin space remodels while resident elevators routinely malfunction. My thoughts have been confirmed by outsude professionals, current and former employees (including management who left to not participate in what they viewed as policies not good for residents), and feedback from medical professionals who serve this population and have heard residents concerns over time. This is home to these residents. The mission statement and vision are beautiful and empowering, but not implemented by assisted living management and their up line management. All personal items have been removed from hallways that formerly looked happy and personal, leaving them bare and industrial (Surprising due to true focus by Beatitudes in general on creating as homelike an environment as possible - maybe new state regulations?) Elevators are old and frequently malfunction, requiring long lobby waits for unsteady residents. While my parents were in Assisted Living, I felt that I was constantly resolving glitches, confusion, and service gaps - it was a lot of work. The older and vulnerable people who live there without outspoken, proactive advocates cannot be as safe, happy, and empowered to live (as opposed to being housed and managed until they die) even as they are paying large amounts to be there. If you consider living or moving another here, I suggest walking the halls repeatedly at various times, dining there multiple times to observe residents and staff, sitting in lobby during med administration 8ish am multiple times, asking your medical professionals and fire dept EMTs what they observe. Things may be getting better and they deserve benefit of doubt. This facility had superb ratings and functioned better 5 years ago than now. Whatever the reasons, their reputation has declined. Do your research.
THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT: My wife's grandmother and mother both lived here until they passed. Aside from her grandmother pulling the fire alarm to see all of the "cute firemen" there was never an incident that was bad. My wife and I are now of age to live in the community (into which my wife's sister moved a year ago) but we didn't want to give it an "easy win" so we evaluated a total of ten other similar CCRE facilities. The only one that rated more highly than Beatitudes failed in the aspect that the only place they have for walking their dogs was on the street sidewalk or un-fenced parking lot. This put that particular facility immediately off the list. We have lived here at Beatitudes just over a month and are happy with our choice. The food is excellent, the staff is helpful, the community is thriving and there are many Life Long Learning and Community Events in which we can participate. Free transportation is even provided within a ten mile radius - scheduled several days in advance... but free. I read the other reviews just now, and one of the "ONE STAR" replies said that after their dog attacked another dog, they (a non-resident by the way) were told that their dogs were not welcomed into the dog park. The sign clearly states that aggressive dogs should find other alternatives and are not welcomed; as is the policy on most dog parks. The fault lies with the dog owner, not Beatitudes. Anyway, my wife and I have clearly made the right choice, and look forward to many more years as a happy resident.
I moved into a lovely one bedroom rental apartment with a spacious balcony almost two years ago. I love the friendly atmosphere, excellent food and multitude of activities available. It has been a positive move for me after being a widow for many years. I have made many new friends and reconnected with old friends as well. I call this my new simplified life. The staff is friendly and supportive. The vision is to constantly improve in opportunities and services. A great goal!
My mother was a very well known CNA for 35 years. Her last position was in the Alzheimer/Dementia unit. On August 8, 2015 a coworker neglected to clean up water from the shower room floor. My mother slipped and fell and shattered her knee into pieces and took an ambulance ride to the hospital. She was there for 6 days recovering and not one executive from the Beatitudes or the church reached out to her in the hospital or afterwards to insure she was being treated the way a loyal worker should be treated, especially by Copperpoint, their workers compensation insurer. From the beginning of the injury Copperpoint was a nightmare to deal with and the Beatitudes did nothing to support her after 35 years of service. The purpose of this post is to inform people who are considering placing their family members in this nursing home or assisted living facilities to see what kind of an operation they really are behind the scenes. It's been known the office people would not dare step inside the nursing home facility where the real work is done. They all look down on the CNA's and feel they are above all of the workers at the Beatitudes. They will do anything for money, but when it comes time to support their injured employee's they do absolutely nothing. After all the years of service they would not support my mother returning back to work in her field and instead offered her the opportunity to work in the home services at a much lower hourly rate. We feel it had to due with her age of 63 and the fact that they could replace her at a much lower hourly rate. Their only concern was treating the next injured worker the same way they treated her because they never dealt with an on-the-job injury of this magnitude. For anyone looking to put a family member at the Beatitudes or looking for employment, consider how they treated my mother, it really tells people what their all about. If they treat their loyal employee's this way, think how they treat patients behind closed doors. Shame on you Beatitudes for not supporting my mother after all these years and making sure Copperpoint treated your loyal, injured worker well. Trust me from being an insider for 35 years, these guys don't care and they tell you what you want to hear for the money and for the sake of filling up their apartments. Being tied to the Baptist Church is for show. All we have ever noticed is how they pray on dying patient's for their money and donations to sell at their annual garage sale. If we were bitter, I would have posted this after her injury, but I waited over two years to place this post to make sure my emotions did not drive this post. November 2, 2018: Thanks for the same ridiculous response Beatitudes that we all expect from Corporate America - just blowing smoke talking about how wonderful your organization is when you can see by my review what the Beatitudes is really all about behind closed doors. My mother has a life long injury to the nerve in her knee after a total knee replacement we had to fight hard for in order to get it. Copperpoint does a good job protecting its clients and works hard screwing your employee's. Her life will never be the same after this injury and your lack of concern and the fact that no one has ever reached out to her after 35 years show's how concerned you really are. Again, if you treat your employee's this way, I know you treat your patients the same way. I have seen and experienced what the Beatitudes is all about, the money.
The third floor of the care center is the worse place iv ever worked.there a nurse there who think she's god.and most of the staff well leaves something to be desired. The residence are such sweet people.and made you feel welcome. But the staff well ?
