Be part of a new and exciting program: The Hand-To-Hand Caring Touch Program. Enjoy one-to-one interactions as you help elderly residents relax with mini-hand rubs. You can help the residents on our Long Term Care units to obtain the benefit of a healing touch, such as deep relaxation, reduced anxiety and stress, a release of muscle tension and pain, and a greater sense of emotional and spiritual well-being. Traing is required and will be provided.

If you are responsible, caring, and compassionate, you can play a critical role by assisting dependent elderly residents at mealtimes. You can provide encouragement and nourishment by giving verbal cues to eat, physically guiding residents to feed themselves, and spoonfeeding those individuals who are dependent on caregivers. A one-hour training session will be offered by a speech pathologist and "on the job" training with certified nursing assistants. read more »
