• Provide hands‑on patient care under the direction of a Registered Nurse.
• Assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and hydration.

• Answer phones, support coordination of care activities, and help keep the unit running smoothly.
• Contribute to a positive, compassionate experience for patients and families every day.
