Noc Med Tech-Behavioral Health
About The Position
Elite Care at Oatfield Estates, located in Milwaukie off Oatfield Road, prides itself on being different. More than 20 years ago, our founders set out to fundamentally rethink senior living. We are not a typical senior living facility run by a large corporation with thousands of employees. We are locally owned and operated. Our community is designed to provide residents with excellent care, a high quality of life, and feelings of belonging, influence, and purpose. Additionally, we are the first assisted living community in Oregon to earn the JCAHO accreditation. As a Med Tech with us, you will provide daily care to our residents by supporting their daily activities of living. This includes hygiene assistance and providing emotional support and encouragement, monitoring and reporting changes in health and behavior, and supporting the overall needs of our residents. You will be genuinely interested in supporting our residents and their team members. Experience working with seniors is a plus; however, it is not required. Other requirements include valuing and respecting our residents and having consistent attendance and a reliable method of transportation; the ability to correspond and document properly for resident charting purposes; and excellent communication skills. Training is provided, and a medication administration certification is not required. Please be advised that you will train as a caregiver first for 30 days to better understand the needs of our residents.
