The Waters of Edina

I worked at The Waters from Last spring to this past March. Id like to start this off by saying the assisted living management is amazing, but the dining room management, not so much. When I started it was honestly my dream job, being able to interact with the senior citizens was something ive always enjoyed. In the end they ended up firing me over me not being able to come in due to me being sick and the real reason was because of two majorly small issues that I was under the impression we had resolved. Toward the beginning of me working there when I had to call in, and even though I told them MULTIPLE times I had a fever, management still tried to make me come in with the excuse of If you cant find someone to cover your shifts youll have to come in even though OSHA recommends not going back into work 24 hours after the fever has ended. I just didnt feel comfortable serving the residents the same day i was sick. While I was working there I noticed some things I didnt really agree with. Management wasnt really respectful towards the residents, she were even so rude that one of the residents wanted to move out of the building, and when I went to say goodbye to her the day before she left, her exact words were Thank you so much, youve been one of the only ones that have been nice to me. The chefs sometimes would have us go back to the residents that ordered something off the menu and tell them we didnt have it even though we definitely did have it, they just didnt feel like making/cooking it. It really made me upset seeing the citizens I ended up getting close to getting treated like that inside of their ownhome. Many of the other servers ive talked to are gradually getting more and more upset over the management over-scheduling them among other things. Overall, The Waters is an amazing place for them to live, the only issue is the dining room and thats a big part of The Waters.

got fired from the dining room by lindsay over the phone. which im pretty sure isnt 100% morally correct.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Everything from the staff, the environment, and the apartments are truly excellent.

Nice facility, nice staff, but AWFUL, AWFUL food! Its indescribable how bad it is. I see no excuse for that. Ive eaten with my sister several times so it wasnt just one bad day.
