• Protect resident privacy and confidentiality while promoting dignity, independence, and personal choice.
• Promptly report resident concerns, incidents, or suspected abuse in accordance with facility policies and applicable requirements.

What We're Looking For

• A compassionate attitude and a genuine desire to care for seniors.
• Dependable, punctual, and committed to providing excellent resident care.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well with others.
• Patience, empathy, and the ability to remain calm in challenging situations.
• Willingness to learn and follow established care procedures.
• Ability to recognize changes in resident conditions and communicate concerns promptly.
• Basic computer skills and the ability to complete electronic documentation.
