  • Minimum age of 21 years; satisfactory criminal background check is necessary.
  • Completion of a physical examination by a licensed physician and a negative drug screening is required.

  • Follow each resident's Negotiated Service Plan and promptly inform the Wellness Director or Executive Director of any changes in resident health.
  • Respond immediately to resident requests for assistance.

  • Administer medications according to the Medication Observation Record (MOR) while safeguarding resident privacy. Document all medication-related actions accurately following Oaks Senior Living policies.
  • Respect residents' rights to refuse medication and ensure their safety during administration. Clearly explain the purpose of each medication prior to administration.
