More Than Cleaning — Help Make Prairie Ridge Feel Like Home! Do you take pride in a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment? Do you notice the little things that other people overlook?

We're looking for a dependable, caring, and detail-oriented Housekeeper to join our team and help keep our community clean, comfortable, and welcoming. If you enjoy staying busy, take pride in your work, and like knowing that what you do makes a difference in people's everyday lives, we'd love to meet you! What You'll Do As a Housekeeper at Prairie Ridge, you'll help maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable home for our residents. Keep Our Community Looking Its Best Clean and maintain resident rooms, common areas, hallways, bathrooms, dining areas, and other assigned spaces. Vacuum, sweep, mop, dust, disinfect, and perform other routine cleaning duties. Clean windows, mirrors, furniture, fixtures, and other surfaces as needed.

While you're cleaning, you'll also become a familiar and friendly face to our residents. Take a moment to say hello, ask how someone's doing, or stop for a quick conversation.
