Job Description

Are you tired of the fast-paced restaurant grind, late nights, and never knowing what your schedule will look like?

Personal Care Senior Living is looking for a dependable, friendly Cook to join our team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys cooking but would prefer a more personal, meaningful environment where you get to know the people you are cooking for.

Here, you're not just preparing meals—you’re helping make someone's day.

• No late-night restaurant hours
• A smaller, more personal kitchen environment
• Prepare home-style meals for a consistent group of residents
• Build relationships with the people you cook for
• Supportive, team-oriented workplace
• Opportunity to bring your own cooking experience and ideas to the kitchen
• Meaningful work where residents genuinely appreciate what you do

Restaurant, café, school, hospital, senior living, or other food-service experience is welcome. We are especially interested in finding someone who is dependable, takes pride in their food, and enjoys working with seniors.

As a Cook, you will prepare and serve daily meals for our residents while helping create an enjoyable dining experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Prepare and cook meals according to our daily menus
• Follow recipes and adjust quantities based on the number of residents
• Prepare attractive, well-portioned plates
• Maintain food quality and consistency
• Receive, label, date, and properly store food and supplies
• Follow safe food-handling, sanitation, and temperature-control practices
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe kitchen
• Help monitor food and supply inventory
• Minimize food waste
• Work closely with the culinary and community leadership teams
• Provide friendly, respectful service to residents and guests

You may be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy cooking and take pride in the meals you prepare
• Are dependable and show up when scheduled
• Have a positive, calm, and friendly personality
• Enjoy working with older adults
• Can work independently while also being part of a team
• Stay organized and manage your time well
• Are flexible when plans or resident needs change
• Understand the importance of food safety and cleanliness
• Want a job where your work has a direct and meaningful impact on others

Personal Care Senior Living provides a warm, home-like environment for older adults. Meals are an important part of our residents' day, and our culinary team plays a major role in making our community feel like home.

If you love to cook but are ready for something different from the traditional restaurant environment, we would love to meet you.
