More about Cedarhurst Senior Living
Your days would turn on residents and their families. A former resident assistant who left still named that work as the main plus. A current employee of more than a year described supportive managers, a fun workplace, and scheduling that works around life outside the building. That picture is not the only one: a former Springfield RA described a hostile, drama-filled workplace and said family members of management were shielded from complaints while others lost hours. If you step toward RCM, a former RA said that role means near-daily 24/7 coverage with little help. Across 184 reviews the company sits at 3.0, with 50% willing to recommend and 46% seeing a positive business outlook. Nine DON reviewers average 3.5 and 79% would recommend, but only 19% report a positive business outlook.
