✅ Ensure medication is properly managed and documented.
✅ Encourage personal growth by facilitating social activities and skill-building opportunities.
✅ Accurately document progress and communicate updates to the team.
✅ Drive residents to appointments, community events, and recreational activities.
✅ Actively engage in problem-solving and be flexible when challenges arise.
✅ Be a team player—reliable, punctual, and willing to step up when needed.
