More about Shorehaven
Scheduling can flex when you want extra hours, and reviews note room to switch jobs or get promoted from inside. Pay gets called decent. The hard part is plain: short staffing shows up often, especially weekends, and you may cover assisted living alone across several roles or get pulled into memory care when the on-call nurse does not come in. Training for serious conditions is often word-of-mouth rather than a structured program. Longer-tenured caregivers still describe it as a solid Southeast Wisconsin workplace where residents are highly valued. Oconomowoc's downtown feels quaint, and people tend to come across friendly from the first hello.

What to weigh
Short staffing is chronic, especially on weekends, so you can end up alone on assisted living covering multiple roles or pulled into memory care when the on-call nurse does not come in.
