Do you want to work somewhere with a truly ideal patient-to-caregiver ratio,
where you can actually take the time to provide meaningful, person-centered care?

This is not a nursing home.

This is the Sisters of Mercy Convent, a private residence for retired Sisters. We are not open to the public, which means a calm, respectful, and supportive environment focused entirely on quality of care, not volume.

You will be caring for a small community of retired Sisters in a setting that values dignity, compassion, and relationship-based care.

Why this role is different:

• Low patient-to-caregiver ratio
• Private, peaceful, non-public setting
• Strong team culture with consistent nursing support
• Focus on person-centered, dignified care
• Time to build real relationships with residents

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide direct, person-centered care to retired Sisters
• Assist with ADLs including bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and feeding
• Support mobility, transfers, repositioning, and ambulation
• Monitor and report changes in condition to the Charge Nurse
• Maintain a clean, safe, and respectful living environment
• Provide care with empathy, patience, and professionalism

Qualifications:

• CNA, NA, or HHA experience or certification required
• Dementia care experience is essential
• Experience in gerontology or healthcare preferred
• Strong communication, teamwork, and compassion
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and professionalism
