• Observing and responding to changes in residents' health and wellbeing, reporting concerns promptly.
• Assisting with care planning, record keeping, and reviewing residents' changing needs.

• Providing compassionate end-of-life care and supporting residents and families during difficult times.
• Encouraging participation in activities, hobbies, and meaningful social interactions.
