The role requires a mature, dependable individual who can bring an upbeat and positive energy to the community while working collaboratively with staff from all departments.

Day in the Life

Your day will be defined by direct, compassionate care. You will assist residents with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including bathing, grooming, dressing, and meal assistance.

Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, the ability to multi-task, and the initiative to use your own judgment in daily activities. You will be an active participant throughout your entire shift, utilizing equipment such as resident lifts and communication devices like earpieces and handheld radios.
