What are the responsibilities and job description for the Resident Assistant - Rotating Weekends (Sat/Sun) (6a-2p) position at Colby Senior Care?
Your Family. Our Focus.
Rare opportunity to join an amazing team of individuals committed to compassionate, quality care! With dedicated nursing, activities, dietary, and housekeeping personnel, our caregivers can focus on what matters most – our residents.
As a Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), our residents live in their own apartments, furnish them as they please, and come and go as they choose. To these essentials, assisted living adds around-the-clock caring with peace of mind that comes from a secure environment. Residents can get help whenever they need it – with medications, bathing, and dressing. Meal preparation, housekeeping service, transportation, and social activities are all part of this lifestyle.
The goal is to meet each person’s needs, even as those needs change, maximizing independence for as long as possible. At Colby Senior Care, we strive to promote independence, preserve dignity, and offer choices that lead to happier living.
