You embody patience, kindness, and approachability, fostering trust and comfort among residents. Your exceptional communication skills allow you to actively listen to residents' concerns and effectively convey information. With a strong sense of responsibility and reliability, you prioritize the well-being and safety of residents, always staying proactive in anticipating needs and providing assistance. In challenging situations, you demonstrate adaptability and resilience, maintaining composure and grace. By collaborating with team members, families, and healthcare professionals, you ensure the highest quality of care and contribute to a positive living environment.

About The Role

You’ll meet the needs of the residents by providing support for their activities of daily living.

Effective communication of resident progress, attendance, and changes in physical and cognitive functioning is essential. As an ambassador of Baptist Housing, you will exemplify exceptional interpersonal skills and maintain positive relationships with residents, team members, families, and partners. You’ll assist with admissions, discharges, and transfers and ensure residents settle in comfortably. Your role also includes assisting residents in maintaining their independence by providing personal care such as bathing, dressing, and hygiene while respecting their dignity and privacy. You’ll implement individualized care plans, perform designated procedures and tasks within your scope of practice, administer medication under nurse supervision, and maintain updated clinical records. Additionally, you’ll assist with meal service and laundry, accompany residents to activities, and contribute to quality and care improvement programs. You will also identify and report any concerns or changes in residents' well-being. Participation in care planning and team meetings will be expected, along with staying informed through team communication channels. You may also perform clerical duties and contribute to the orientation and training of new resident assistants. Professional development through attendance at meetings, in-services, and continuing education sessions is encouraged while prioritizing health and safety in the workplace by promoting a culture of safety, identifying hazards, and adhering to safe practices.
