What are the responsibilities and job description for the Caregiver: All Shifts position at Arbor House Assisted Living?
Do you LOVE helping others? Do you LOVE visiting with older people and learning from them? This may be the career path you are looking for!
We are an Assisted Living and Memory Care Community caring for the elderly. We need some dedicated, loving, compassionate and good people to join our Team. We call our folks who help our residents "carefriends". We want you to be "friends" with the residents. They are more likely to have you help them if they are friends with you!
