![]() You’ll have to stay over and/or work doubles (16hrs) because staff always calls in and that leaves the person who should be getting off, to stay until someone can come to the home. Some house managers are ok but there are some that’s not friendly or professional. ![]() The residents in the group homes are lovely to work with if you like to help and care for people who may be physically or devevolpmentally disabled. Serenity also condones you working for free because - more. Not to mention the mentally ill staff who some of them admit to not recieving treatment themselves. ![]() It is impossible to provide quality services if you are overly stressed and decompensating yourself. Most of the mental health personnel are inundated and severely overworked and drained. They have staff that cross boundaries with the clients regularly i.e., eat clients food, provide food to clients and even request personal favors from clients like cosmetology services. The staff is disgustingly rude and have the audacity to have biblical verses on their emails. They do not provide adequate training and they "cover up" issues when they arise. Serenity is a "con" agency to exploit both workers and clients. They are oblivious to what professionalism truly means. Serenity is a "hustle" for the staff members there. No disrespect to the mentally ill but a person who is unstable cannot lead appropriately. Allow the perspective candidate to decide if they will be able to tolerate the inconsistencies of unstable coworkers and managers. Or clearly inform perspective staff that you will be working predominantly with mentally unstable staff. They should only hire mentally ill staff to work with others with the same or similar challenges. The agency favors and gives privileges to the staff that they hire that have a mental health diagnosis. It honestly feels like high school, but everyone is grown adults. There is a lot of gossip and rumors about everyone, and people have formed cliques, which adds to the negative culture. Finally, the general vibe and culture is very negative. But the keep you strung along by dangling the carrot of a raise or promotion in front of you. The company also under pays all of us, and there are no opportunities for a raise without advancement. You can ask your supervisors to help and they act like they care but they never take any real action to help you. Give you completely unmanageable caseloads and write you up for not getting all of your work done, which is impossible to get done. The clients are so amazing and light up your day everytime you see them. And a lit of the people who work at serenity are very friendly and caring. If you're working in the office you can flex your hours, which is nice. I'll start with the positives: if you work as direct care you can get basically unlimited overtime as long as you're willing to work.
