You will assist with facility tours, move-in and move-out processes, and provide orientation to the assisted living community. You’ll conduct assessment interviews to determine residents' functional levels, needs, and preferences. To ensure individual resident needs are met, you will actively participate in activity programming, meal planning, hospitality, and personal care services. You’ll oversee the implementation of individual care plans, perform nursing interventions, and conduct regular visits as requested. You will observe and assess residents during community activities, responding to changes that require intervention or adjustments in service provision.
