Job Description
NOT LIKE OTHER FACILITIES!! Please read below. Also, find out who we are and what we are about on our website: https://livinglegato.com/our-homes/five-fountains/
Legato Living is a residential memory care. We care for 5-8 seniors who have memory impairment. This application is a base app for 3 of our homes. 19111 Western Ave. Elkhorn, NE 280 --- 280 Skyline Dr. Elkhorn, NE --- 10214 Elm Street Omaha, NE. Caregivers MUST have an active 40-hour Medication Aide. Caregivers will be assisting with ADLs, IADLs, and overseeing operations in the home.
Residential memory cares benefit not only the residents, but the staff as well. It is an intimate environment that is less stimulating than a large facility and allows staff to maintain a work-life-balance without being overworked or managing multiple residents on their own.
Caregivers are administering meds, charting, completing housekeeping, and assisting residents with dressing, grooming, bathing, feeding, toileting, transferring, activities, and more. However, as mentioned above, the resident to staff ration is 4:1 which is significantly lower than in a larger setting.
Benefits:
It is YOUR time to shine and grow with the business. We are seeking full time caregivers who are interested in working 12 hour shifts. We consider a full-time employee someone who is averaging 32+ hours/week. If they are full-time they are eligible for PTO. ALL staff will receive the option of dental, vision, and life insurance.
