You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, wound care, dressing changes, and mobility support, while contributing to the development and execution of individualized care plans. Your documentation will reflect accurate assessments, changes in condition, and responses to interventions, enabling the care team to make informed decisions. You’ll participate in multidisciplinary rounds, communicate changes to RNs and physicians, and collaborate with families to ease transitions and reinforce care continuity. You’ll support infection prevention practices, ensure patient safety, and help manage rehabilitation activities as part of a holistic approach to long‑term well‑being. The role also fosters professional growth through mentorship of nursing assistants, opportunities to expand scope within long‑term care, and ongoing exposure to varied clinical scenarios, empowering you to become a stronger, more versatile clinician.
