Do work that matters to someone every single day.

Cardinal Senior Living is hiring Care Aides across our West Michigan communities in the greater Grand Rapids area.

We’re looking for dependable, compassionate people who understand that great care is often built through the small things.

Helping someone get ready for the day.

Remembering how they like their coffee.

Noticing when something seems different.

Taking an extra minute to listen.

Making sure someone feels safe, respected, and cared for in the place they call home.

This is hands-on work, but it is also deeply human work.

You’ll probably love this role if you like to:

• Build real relationships with the people you care for

• Stay active instead of sitting behind a desk

• Help people maintain their independence and dignity

• Work with a team that depends on one another

• Notice the little things others may miss

• Learn new skills and grow in healthcare or senior living

• Step in when someone needs help

• Finish a shift knowing your work actually mattered

What You’ll Do

As a Care Aide, you’ll provide direct support to residents with the routines of daily life.

You’ll help with:

• Bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal care

• Toileting and incontinence care

• Mobility, transfers, and wheelchair assistance

• Getting residents to meals, activities, and appointments within the community

• Following individualized resident care plans

• Encouraging independence, choice, and social engagement

• Observing residents and reporting changes or concerns

• Completing required documentation

• Light housekeeping, laundry, and other resident-support tasks

• Creating a safe, clean, comfortable environment

• Working alongside nurses, Med Techs, and other members of the care team

Most importantly, you’ll help make sure residents are treated with dignity, patience, compassion, and respect.

Experience Is Great. Character Matters More.

Previous caregiving experience is valuable, but we are also willing to train the right people.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Dependable

• Compassionate

• Patient

• Positive

• Comfortable working closely with seniors

• Willing to learn

• Able to communicate clearly

• Able to work as part of a team

• Physically able to assist residents with mobility and personal care

• At least 18 years old

Experience in senior living, assisted living, memory care, home care, healthcare, or direct support is preferred, but not required for every opportunity.

A Care Aide role can be the beginning of a career.

For people who want to grow, senior living can create pathways into:

• Medication Technician roles

• Lead Care positions

• Nursing

• Wellness leadership

• Community operations

• Other opportunities across Cardinal Senior Living

We want people who want to get better, take on more, and build something with us.
