Located in Highland Park, the Center is just four miles from Downtown Pittsburgh, with easy access to public transportation. The Center features three large outdoor balconies, an activities center, and off-street parking.

The center is currently seeking a Certified Nurse Aide to provide personal and restorative nursing care and assists, as directed by onsite nurses. The aide will be responsible for providing high quality care for the center’s  geriatric residents and residents of varying ages, and must display patience, compassion and, above all, a deep commitment to maximizing clients’ well-being.

• Positioning, lifting and turning residents, as needed, to ensure maximum comfort and support
• Ambulating and toileting residents, as needed
• Aiding in additional procedures as requested, such as admitting, transferring, discharging, taking TPR/blood pressure, measuring/recording intake and output, collecting urine/stool specimens and administering enemas
• Assisting with daily movement and exercise routines, as instructed by physicians and/or therapists
• Assisting with the care of dying and deceased residents, and providing support to families and other residents
• Making ongoing rounds to assigned residents, and responding to outreach  promptly
• Transporting residents to the dining hall, serving food trays and feeding, as needed
• Observing residents for social, emotional and physical changes, and reporting findings to nursing staff

This is an entry level position with significant growth potential. All applicants must possess current nurse aide certification or the completion of an N.A. training program, and have some prior resident care or related experience. A high school diploma or GED equivalent is also required, as are strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to follow written and verbal instructions, and the physical capacity to walk, stand and lift throughout the day. Vaccination from covid-19 is a condition for hiring.
