I witnessed a CNA did not catch her name engaged in a verbal tirade against another younger CNA. This was not a constructive correction or a private disagreement; it was a loud, aggressive, and demeaning display of hostility.<br>Most disturbingly, this occurred in the direct view and earshot of the residents. I find this behavior entirely inexcusable for the following reasons: disrespectful from one CNA to another CNA, This is bullying in a way that the older cna embarrassed the younger cna in front of the residents by yelling at her and not letting the younger cna speak and making her feel less of a person in front of other people. By the way the older cna was yelling it seemed it was not the first time its happened. I will continue to report this because its unprofessional and unsafe for residents to see and hear this.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this facility.. the staff are great and hardworking but as far as management is overwhelmed, underfunded and unable to meet the needs of those it cares for. Be careful placing your loved one here.
