About the Role

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is an integral member of our team, dedicated to creating a community where residents feel proud to call home. This position serves as the primary support for the Nursing Department, ensuring that every resident receives routine daily nursing care and services tailored to their specific assessment and care plans.

In this role, you will act as an extension of therapy services under the supervision of a nurse, assisting with range of motion exercises and ambulation. Your day-to-day responsibilities include providing compassionate personal care such as bathing, grooming, and oral hygiene, as well as managing essential household services like meal preparation, laundry, and light housekeeping to maintain a healthy environment.

Beyond clinical tasks, you will be a vital social connector for our residents. You are encouraged to initiate and participate in leisure activities, fostering friendships and encouraging socialization among residents. You will also serve as the eyes and ears of the nursing team, observing and documenting changes in residents' health and emotional conditions, and responding promptly to assistance requests or emergency pull cords.
