Your day will involve supporting residents with personal care needs, managing room tidiness, and ensuring food safety during meal preparation and service. You will also serve as a key communicator, relaying changes in resident conditions to the care team and maintaining respectful relationships with resident families. Success in this role requires a team player who is adaptable, safety-conscious, and committed to the highest standards of care.
Hiring Process & Requirements
To join our team, candidates must possess a High School diploma or GED. While experience in a long-term healthcare setting and a ServSafe certification are preferred, a genuine understanding of elderly care and the ability to work effectively within an interdisciplinary team are essential.
