C.N.A./Caregiver

Website Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace

At the heart of caregiving is the caregiver. Caregivers at Terra Vista have an innate understanding of what it means to care for someone with compassion, patience, and dignity. It is not just a job; it is a calling to take care of those who took care of us.

We’re looking for an additional Caregiver to work with our residents. Being a certified nurse assistant is preferred, but not necessary. This energetic individual has experience caring for older adults, with an emphasis on dementia and memory care. He or she is ready and willing to provide residents with the person-centered, direct care that makes Terra Vista unique. Assisting residents during mealtimes and activities as well as with daily tasks of housekeeping and laundry of all residents is also required.

Additional responsibilities include keeping inventory of residents’ personal supplies and communicating needs, issues, and concerns with families and the Terra Vista administrative staff and nurses. Basic computer and smart device skills are necessary.

Are you interested in becoming a caregiver? Apply now to join the Terra Vista team!
