We also believe caring for our staff in a supportive working environment where there is opportunity to learn, grow and be appreciated, is as equally important. The caring environments we create at each of our sites is not only for residents, it is also for each other. It is everyone’s responsibility to work together to build a culture where we come to work each day knowing that we will be treated according to the Covenant Care values of Compassion, Respect, Collaboration, Integrity, Stewardship and Social Justice.

Covenant Care is seeking a Resident Care Manager to guide and facilitate the care of seniors at Villa Marie, our continuing care center in Red Deer, Alberta.
