Transitional Care Management•Crestwood, IL

1d•$16 - $17

About The Position

You’re not just your job title. Your role here extends far beyond your job description. You are a friend and family member to each resident. You know their name and their story. You are providing compassion and companionship to those in our care. This family aspect is what sets us apart from other health care sectors. When someone becomes a patient here, each of us becomes their partner on their journey to healthy living. No matter the illness, injury or limitation. Join us and make a connection of your own. Join us and make a difference in someone’s life. Officially we title this job a Dietary Cook, but in other centers it may be called a Line Cook or even an entry level Chef. When you are sick or injured, food can be the highlight of your day. As a cook you will help prepare meals for our patients. This could involve menu creation, working with our Registered Dietician for special needs diets, kitchen sanitation and food safety. One day you may clean out the freezer or the next it may involve talking with the patients to see if they liked their meal. We wear many hats and do whatever is needed to meet the nutritional needs of the patient.
