Have to admit, first impression was concerning. BUT they quickly won me over. From the nurses,…read moresocial worker, therapist, to nutritionist, every single person was kind and caring, advocating for my mom. Are they understaffed? Yes, but who isn't. The most telling was when my mom was able to come home, she said she missed her friends (staff) there and said she loved every single one of them. My mom is a glass-mostly-empty person so this is truly of the highest compliment.

As a prospective employee who dealt with a ton of issues during the hiring process and was given…read morethe run around by HR for a month before having my offer rescinded, I would strongly recommend that you reconsider working for or residing at this facility. Ultimately, it became clear to me that VMP does not like staff who speak up and their primary goal is to better cover up issues rather than actually fix them. They are currently under corrective action from the state and have a one star rating. The HR manager slipped up today when I pressed her and admitted she had conversations with the CEO, COO, and therapy director and that they were concerned that I would be one to report issues that I saw and that was the primary reason that they decided to rescind my job offer. Prior to this conversation, I was given a bunch of other conflicting reasons and lies were made up, including claiming that I refused to accept the pay they offered me even though I only learned in that conversation that they actually got exactly what I asked for approved. Holly (HR) and Lisa (HR manager) were the two people I've been dealing with for the last month and I would recommend that you get everything in writing or record your conversations with them in particular to protect yourself (WI does not require you to let them know you are recording them FYI). Holly said so many lies it made my head spin and the few times I had hard evidence that she was lying her story would change entirely and she would say that she "made a mistake" and "misspoke". Lisa said that Holly followed company policy, even when I pointed out that Holly was even caught in a lie in a conversation we all had on the phone together. Lisa also claimed that no one has ever said Holly is unprofessional, implying that I was the issue, but in the exact same sentence said that Holly admitted to being unprofessional with her lack of communication with me and follow through of actually calling me when she said she would (for reference, on several occasions she would tell me she'd call me on Friday, and then we didn't speak again until the following Thursday only because I would call her). Ultimately, the therapy department is understaffed right now, they told me how desperately they needed my help, and offered me the job on the spot, but they would rather operate understaffed than risk having an employee who advocates for the residents. I am passing this information along to the state too since they are still under corrective actions, but feel it's important that potential employees and residents are aware of the depth of problems here. Other past employee reviews on different websites also echo that anyone who speaks up about treatment of residents is fired, so be prepared to file a whistleblower claim if you take a job here. As someone who rarely reviews places, it really means something that this place made me concerned enough to warn people on several review platforms. I knew that VMP had high turnover in staff, but now I know why.
