Responsibilities

Engage with others empathetically: Each person that lives, works, and visits our building has their own story and background and personal preferences. Can you navigate these with patience, understanding and a positive attitude?
Multi-task and reprioritize requests effectively: Can you juggle a request to toilet one resident, assist with bedtime routines for another, and take the resident you are currently helping down to the dining room for dinner?
Ask for help: Shifts can be full of resident requests, questions, and concerns you do not know how to answer or address. Can you communicate with your team throughout your shift and keep everyone informed on how we can best support you?
Have a willingness to learn: While some of our caregivers arrived with extensive caregiving and medical backgrounds, for many – this is their first experience in senior living. Are you willing to learn about our seniors and how to take care of their needs with dignity and respect?
