Part Time NIGHT Shift Caregiver - PLC of Hood RIver
About The Position
The Universal Caregiver is a pivotal member of our Assisted Living and Residential Care Communities. This role involves more direct interaction with residents than any other position. Universal Caregivers are responsible for consistently providing detailed information about resident status, needs, and issues to ensure appropriate actions are taken. They must be vigilant in observing changes in residents’ health, attitudes, and needs, and effectively communicate these observations. Adaptability is crucial, as Universal Caregivers must respond to the evolving needs of both the facility and its residents. By delivering essential care, they help residents achieve and maintain their highest level of independence. Our team at Senior Housing Managers is focused on being servant leaders to our residents, employees, and communities. We work to enhance the lives of those we serve. We want to ensure that our employees feel welcomed, prepared, and excited to care for our residents every time they are at work.
