Responsibilities include providing personalized nursing care and assistance with daily living activities under the guidance of a registered nurse (RN).

Knowledge of age-appropriate care is essential, addressing both the physical and psychological needs of residents according to their care plans.

As a vital member of the nursing team, adherence to infection prevention protocols and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment is expected.

The Senior NA often supports other clinical staff while managing their own responsibilities, leading problem-solving efforts and maintaining accountability.


Key responsibilities include assisting with essential health care needs, such as bathing, grooming, dressing, obtaining vital signs, and offering psychosocial support to residents.

Assistance with mobility, including transferring and repositioning residents using appropriate techniques and equipment, is also a critical aspect of this role.

Additional tasks may include collecting non-invasive specimens, gathering vital signs, and providing housekeeping and laundry services to maintain clean living areas. Participation in wellness and recreational programs is encouraged, and involvement in departmental committees may be required.

Completion of Restorative Nursing training may be necessary within a specified timeframe.
