Lexington Health Care Reviews

I worked at Lexington Health Care full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Detailed orientation process for new grads . Pay is highest in area. Varying patient load with high level of medical complexity makes this rehab/nursing facility a great place to learn.

Cons – They do not utilize EMR as of yet which makes charting long and tedious.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – Attempting to change the culture and the great ability to learn within your role.

Cons – Royal-Lexington have a LONG way to go. Politics and favoritism is very apparent and career advancement is only for the well liked. If someone happens to be well liked and move through the ranks beware because you WILL get canned. In general, the company rarely promotes from within and usually seeks external candidates. The company has outstanding employees but do not value their own and invest in their potential. Good place to gain experience but not for longevity.

Advice to Senior Management – Value your current employees as they are gems. Talk to your mid level managers on developing their staff and don't allow them to hover over their staff as though they are property. As for senior managers, develop yourselves because it really starts from the very top then tunnel that wisdom to mid level managers. Consider not being SO top heavy, employees have great ideas and perspectives as they really have the heart of the organization. The company has lost A LOT of great talent because of lack of development. Please take heed!

Pros – This is a great place to work. I would recommend this employer to anyone. Management is very knowledgeable and very willing to assist employees.

Cons – I have worked with this employer for approximately eight months. So far I can't think of any cons. If I had to list one it would be that the parking is not all that great.

Advice to Senior Management – I would offer a little more training to the CNA's in regards to infection control.

I worked at Lexington Health Care

Pros – The facilities themselves are top-notch thanks to great administrators and caring staff. I was proud to represent them.

Cons – Upper management doesn't know how to treat their people and, despite their tag line for recruiting "One Big Family", they are anything but.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn how to mentor, nurture, and genuinely care for your employees and you will get more results out of them. Figure out what you want before you hire someone instead of trial and error which results in layoffs and very unhappy employees.

I worked at Lexington Health Care

Pros – There are some really great CNAs and support staff which unfortunately don't get appreciated as much and as a senior manager what you can do is limited. Wrong people end up getting the credit of things done and there are definitely no opportunities for enhancement within the organization.

Cons – The regional leadership and ownership changes and it causes inconsistency, if there are any changes in the MVVs this never gets passed to the line staff. They try to make it appear that they are still the same company with the same values but they are not.

Advice to Senior Management – The leadership has to allow change. Yes it is business at the end of the day but it shouldn't be only it. If the right people aren't appreciated and supported and you keep hiring people from outside nobody will want to work for you besides those who are not good or who are desperate. You need to find out also which ones are your good apples and which ones are the bad ones.

Pros – One of the best reasons to work at Lexington is the advantage of gaining knowledge of the long-term care and rehab field without having much experience or education. This job is a great resume builder because one is expected to take on endless responsibilities and projects as "other duties as assigned."

Cons – The company focus is on money and census rather than resident quality of life. Dietary, medical supplies, and payroll budgets are being cut dramatically (and the buildings/staff/patients suffer) while remodeling of buildings and offices continue. Giving your opinion or disagreeing with those higher than yourself can be detrimental.

Advice to Senior Management – This company is losing money because it forgets about the people. Making patients and residents happy will always bring in money- not the other way around. Refocus the goals. Take new perspective. Listen and take advice from the professionals working within the buildings- stop blocking them out.
