Pay is $16.00–$17.00 per hour, based on experience. Employees who complete required continuing education training receive a $300 bonus.

Professional development opportunities include monthly free continuing education credits for CNAs, Medication Technician certification, CPR and Basic First Aid, specialized dementia care techniques, and culinary training.
