With only 5-6 residents, our team is able to provide personalized care in a calm, comfortable environment rather than working in a large institutional setting.
Please note:
This is not a medication-only position. Because we are a small residential assisted living home, our RMA is also an active caregiver.

Our assisted living home is intentionally small. With only 5-6 residents, you have the opportunity to know each resident personally and provide the kind of individualized care that can be difficult to provide in a large facility. We value our staff and strive to provide a positive, respectful workplace with supportive and accessible leadership. We are looking for someone who wants consistency, meaningful relationships with residents, and a workplace where their contribution truly matters.
