Caregiver- Full Time Midnights

Caregivers

are the main support providers to our residents. Caregivers work hard every day to offer emotional support, ease our residents' lives, and help them maintain a high quality of life. This is accomplished by supporting their ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) such as assisting them with waking, toileting, feeding, safety, and participating in social activities. Caregivers report to the Wellness Coordinator and are a part of the Resident Care Team. The caregiver role is challenging, yet extremely rewarding as the residents show their strong appreciation for the assistance that caregivers bring them.

Our Resident Care Department provides individualized care to seniors who are in need of assistance with personal tasks. Our care associates assist residents with their everyday needs such as bathing, toileting, dressing, mobility, medication administration, and engagement in social activities. Through constant compassion, patience, and understanding, they strive to maintain resident independence and dignity.
