Direct Care Worker

Rockwell Senior Living
Milton, PA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/4/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/30/2026

Rockwell Senior Living is hiring a dependable, hands-on Multi‑Purpose Aide to support our community during our start-up census phase. We are beginning with a very small census (starting with 1 resident), so this role is ideal for someone who is comfortable wearing multiple hats and working independently.

In the beginning, there will be one Multi‑Purpose Aide per shift, and you will help with resident care (ADLs), meal prep, housekeeping, laundry, and medication support/passing meds (only as permitted by state regulations and based on your training/certification).

As our census grows, staffing will expand and job roles will become more defined and specialized. Until then, this role is essential to keeping the building running smoothly and providing excellent resident care.

Responsibilities

Resident Care / ADLs

  • Assist residents with activities of daily living (ADLs): bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, mobility/ambulation, and personal hygiene
  • Provide companionship and help with daily routines
  • Observe and report changes in resident condition to leadership per policy

Medication Support (as allowed)

  • Assist with or pass medications only if trained/credentialed and permitted by state regulations and community policy
  • Document medication assistance/administration accurately and report concerns immediately

Meals

  • Prepare and serve simple meals and snacks
  • Assist residents with meals as needed
  • Maintain clean/sanitary kitchen and dining areas and follow safe food-handling practices

Housekeeping & Laundry

  • Clean resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas
  • Laundry: wash/dry/fold/put away linens and resident clothing (as applicable)
  • Stock supplies and report low inventory

General Shift / Start-Up Support

  • Work independently and manage priorities during your shift
  • Complete required documentation/logs and communicate at shift change
  • Help with move-ins, room set-up, and start-up tasks as assigned

Qualifications

  • Reliable attendance and strong work ethic
  • Comfortable working independently and taking initiative (especially during early census)
  • Ability to communicate respectfully with residents, families, and team members
  • Ability to pass background screening and pre-employment requirements per policy
  • High school diploma/GED preferred

Preferred (Not Required but a Plus)

  • Experience in assisted living, senior living, home care, caregiving, housekeeping, hospitality, or food service
  • CNA/PCA/caregiver experience
  • Med Tech / Medication Aide certification (preferred if the role includes med passing)
  • CPR/First Aid (or willingness to obtain)

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to stand/walk for extended periods
  • Ability to bend, reach, push/pull, and lift up to 50 lbs (with appropriate assistance/equipment)
  • Comfort using PPE and following infection-control practices

Why This Role is Different

  • You are helping launch a community — you’ll make a real impact immediately
  • You’ll gain broad experience (care operations)
  • As census grows, there will be opportunities to move into more defined roles and potentially advance
