**Why Evergreen?** At Evergreen, we believe in putting our residents first—whether it's providing a bath in the afternoon, serving a fried egg sandwich at 3 AM, or letting someone sleep in without worrying about missing breakfast. Our focus is always on maximizing our time with residents, creating meaningful moments, and ensuring their needs and preferences are met.

**Your Role as a Health Care Assistant or Aide** In this role, you'll work closely with our care team, providing essential care and support to our residents. Responsibilities include:

- Assisting with personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming.
- Making beds, cleaning rooms, and ensuring residents' living spaces are tidy.
- Performing laundry duties.
- Helping with meal preparation and serving, keeping residents' individual dietary needs in mind.
- Providing companionship and engaging in activities to promote socialization and mental well-being.
- Supporting rehabilitation programs and collaborating with other team members to ensure the well-being and safety of our residents.

Some people work rotating shifts, some work set days, some prefer 8-hour shifts, other prefer 12-hour. As long as the agreement is fair both ways, we are flexible and accommodating to the greatest extent possible.

To ensure we continue to provide the best care to our patients, we ask all team members to contribute to covering a variety of shifts, including evenings, weekends, nights, and holidays.

By sharing this responsibility, we not only create a balanced and supportive environment, but we also help each other manage the demands of the job while fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.
