Your role will also include skilled maneuvers such as catheter care, ostomy management, and rehabilitation support in partnership with PT/OT teams.

You’ll have opportunities to expand skills in infection control, dementia care, and behavioral health support, while pursuing additional certifications that strengthen leadership potential in a long-term care setting.
