• The ''Vibe'': A ''people person'' who is patient, upbeat, and empathetic toward the elderly and those with dementia.
• Communication: Ability to speak clearly and engage with residents, families, and staff professionally.
• Reliability: Long-term care requires consistency; our residents thrive on seeing familiar faces.
• Experience: Prior experience in a nursing home, assisted living, or memory care setting is a major plus, but we are willing to train the right personality!
