Certified Nursing Assistant

Overview

Join our residential neuro rehabilitation team and become part of a home-like environment where you can make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals recovering from brain injuries and neurological conditions. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), you'll do more than provide direct care—you'll help residents build independence, confidence, and life skills while supporting them in their recovery journey.

This unique role combines traditional CNA responsibilities with opportunities to assist with medication administration, transportation, meal preparation, community outings, and daily household activities. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team, you'll build lasting relationships with residents and help create a supportive environment focused on dignity, growth, and quality of life.

• Provide direct personal care assistance, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, feeding, and ambulation.
• Monitor residents' physical condition and report changes in health status to the appropriate clinical staff.

• Support residents in developing and maintaining daily living skills and self-help activities.

• Foster positive relationships and healthy interactions among residents and their housemates.
• Ensure the safety and well-being of residents at all times and maintain a safe living environment.
• Assist residents with recreational, social, and community-based activities.
• Accompany residents to scheduled appointments, community outings, and other approved activities.

• Communicate effectively with residents, families, healthcare providers, and team members.
• Follow individualized care plans and support strategies.
• Maintain compliance with all agency policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in team meetings, training programs, and ongoing professional development activities.
