Mount Trexler Manor Misleading Job responsibilities, poor work enviroment Coopersburg, Pennsylvania

Sorry, Bob, but everyone who worked with you knows that you are a sycophant.  I'm glad MTM took care of you after your injury, but the fact is that none of the criticisms listed here are untrue or unfair.  But you didn't actually address any of those criticisms, did you?

I've worked at Mount trexler manor for several years and it is by far one of the worst places to work for there is so much lack of teamwork, lack of communication and of course lack of staff. during the interviews you are not told when hired that you will be juggled from different departments whether cooking in the kitchen alone, or doing personal care, when graduating from college or if already have received a bachelors or a masters, you do not receive the pay rate as told on the interview. the administrator is also a coward, very immature she spends most of her time laughing and joking around in her office with the med teck and if there is a problem instead of confronting a staff she text the receptionist to do her job for her. The lead mentor supervisor is a hypocrite he does in fact scream from the top of his lungs towards his staff as if they were children I was in fact screamed at many times myself which led certain staff resigning with tears in their eyes. the lead mentor was reported by his superiors due to his unprofessional and gross behavior but it was excused due to favoritism also the Mentors are not considered care specialist they really are cab drivers and when the client's complain to the lead Mentor or threatened staff not to go to doctors appointments then they are bribed with food not according to the clients diet, and with cigarettes the supervisors would give the clients whatever they want in order for them to just go. The owners of this facility only show up twice a year only to give family portraits of themselves on Christmas cards to hand out to the clients or just to come by to sell their daughters Girl Scout cookies without no concern on how each department of the building are doing.

 I absolutely agree with the person who stated this place is just plain awful. I was employed there some time ago when I was working on my bachelors in social work. This place went against all the values I was taught. There were clients from both the adult floor, and young adult floor having sex with each other. There were no real life skills taught to the clients, and no formal training for the staff. I was hired to be a mentor, and then in the middle of my employment period there, I was told I was a support staff. I was asked to clean rooms, and even a urinal bottle for one of the disabled clients. I was never clear of what my role in the agency was. I was often told to interact with the clients, but then I was told not to. One of the clients (young adults) became pregnant. The whole place was a mess. The young adults would receive holiday cards from the family who owned the establishment. These "holiday" cards would show pictures of the family on vacation. How insensitive?!?!? The supervisor was very rude, and would promise the young adult clients many things but never come through.The same supervisor was NEVER around, and was rumored to be sleeping with a married woman from administration who was equally rude. The thought of waking up to come to work literally depressed me, and made me cry! I was treated poorly and lied to from the very beginning. I truly feel bad for the clients who literally have no place to go but this place. My brother has severe mental health and I would NEVER send him here for help.

Mount trexler manor is one of the finest companys I have ever worked for, as the mentor and activity cordinator I have had 12 to 30 employees,most have won monthly awards,for employee of month,to employee of year.Proud of my staff,and proud of running two departments for 6 years.Our employees are cross trained so they can work any position at any time.All employees are told when hired there duties could change at anytime,and you maybe  needed in a different role if someone calls off sick.

The versatility of our staff is what makes our company so strong. Arriving to work, i will see my administrator cleaning rooms,no titles just team work.I have given exit interviews to people that have left,and always thanked me for the experience and I have given references for my mentors That have given notice.The statement about screaming on top of my lungs is a blatant lie.I have altered my voice when i found someone sleeping,or whering headphones not listening or on cell phones in parking lot with their car instead of with their resident. 

People who quit without notice like the person who wrote these terrible lies show their lack of care for our residents, lack of integrity,and lack of  professionalism. our employees have difficult challenges everyday,but are supported everyday,and safety is always on everybodys mind.Our employees get a free meal every shift,unlimited coffee,beverages,how many companys do that?Vacation,personal days,sick days,and birthday off.Rides to work in bad weather,and home. 

Free outing to iron pig games,monthly staff meetings that include some goodies.I love where I work,residents and staff alike,and when someone takes cheap shots,or lie like a rug,I am going to set the record straight.I almost lost my life falling from a roof saving a resident,and MOUNT TREXLER  supported my family with meals,and had my job waiting for me when I came back.We are owned by a family,we work as a family,sometimes fight as a family,make up as a family,and love our residents like family.tHE OTHER SIDE OF STORY-THE TRUTH
