Caregiver Job Description
“The reasons I like to work at Highgate is the sense of family with coworkers and as well as residents. Us coworkers are on the same page when it comes to providing care to the elderly and we also help each other out when needed. You won’t hear "that’s not my task" here. You will see CPs/med aides sharing the role at times. The reason I stay is because of the teamwork I’ve witnessed for the past 3 years. I never really saw that kind of unity elsewhere before coming to Highgate, plus I care for my residents' wellbeing, I enjoy seeing them during the week and interacting with them. I would trust this team with my own family” -Kathleen, Medication Assistant Care Partner needed for full-time or part-time SWING (2 pm-10 pm) and NOC (10 pm to 6 am) shift! LOVE YOUR WORK.
