What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is kind, reliable, patient, and willing to help wherever needed. This role is centered around supporting our residents with their everyday needs, providing companionship, and helping maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment.

While our Personal Assistants may provide basic assistance when needed, this is not intended to be a traditional caregiver or CNA position. Our goal is to help our residents maintain their independence while being available to provide support when they need it.
