Job description

Weekend and PRN | Day & Evening Shifts | M Memory Care

Some of the most important moments in dementia care happen quietly.

Great overnight caregivers notice these things.

• A resident wakes up confused and frightened at 2 a.m.
• Someone who cannot explain discomfort becomes restless overnight.
• A subtle change in walking, breathing, appetite, sleep, or behavior may be the first sign that something is wrong.

We are looking for calm, attentive caregivers who understand that care is active, engaged, highly observant to help residents be safe, reassured, comfortable, and known.

• This role is ideal for someone compassionate, dependable, and genuinely respectful of older adults.

Available shift times may include:

• 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
• 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
• 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
• Additional PRN Day Shifts as well as PRN Night Shift opportunities based on staffing needs.

Applicants should be reliable, punctual, and able to commit consistently to the every-other-weekend overnight schedule.

We believe excellent dementia care requires:

• and genuine human connection.
