Job Description

myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families – all under one roof.

For employees, myPlace Health offers the opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a highly collaborative setting. Team members are encouraged to contribute innovative ideas, and grow alongside a mission that prioritizes compassion, respect, and impact. The result is a culture where people feel connected—to their colleagues, their participants, and the communities they serve.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a mission-driven team player to make a real difference in the lives of frail and vulnerable older adults in your community. In this role, you’ll bring warmth, kindness, and compassion to every interaction—whether you’re supporting participants with personal care, accompanying them to appointments, or sharing a smile during a group activity. You’ll work closely with families, caregivers, and our interdisciplinary care team (IDT) to ensure each participant feels safe, seen, and supported, while also staying attentive to any changes in their health or well-being.

Responsibilities:​

• Offer Compassionate Daily Care – Help participants with everyday activities such as bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing, laundry, and meals—whether in the center, clinic, or occasionally in their homes.

• Be a Friendly Companion and Guide – Assist participants as they get in and out of our transportation vehicles and accompany them on rides or to offsite medical appointments as needed.

• Support Mealtimes with Heart – Make sure each participant receives the correct meal and offer a helping hand to those who need assistance with eating, always with patience and respect.

• Help Keep Everyone Active and Comfortable – Provide gentle physical assistance throughout the day using proper techniques to ensure safety and avoid injury for everyone.

• Pitch in with Food Service – Lend a hand with meal delivery and help create a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.

• Take Simple Health Measures – Monitor vital signs and keep a watchful eye on participant well-being as directed by the care team.

• Keep Supplies Stocked and Ready – Ensure personal care supplies like incontinence items and grooming tools are available and organized.

• Follow Team Guidance with Care – Carry out care tasks and status checks based on directions from our interdisciplinary team.

• Connect with Warmth – Communicate clearly and kindly with participants, families, team members, and outside providers—building trust and teamwork every step of the way.

• Jump In Where Needed – You’re a flexible team player who’s ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed to ensure participants receive the best care possible.

• We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.

• Actively support the achievement of SCAN's vision and goals.

• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience:​

• A Heart for Service – You’re passionate about caring for older adults and feel called to support high-risk seniors and those with complex needs.

• Hands-On Experience – You have experience as a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), especially working with frail or elderly individuals.

• Safety First – You’re CPR and First Aid certified—or willing to complete certification within 60 days of starting.

• A Plus, Not a Must – CNA or Home Health Aide (HHA) certification is preferred but not required—we value your experience and heart just as much.

• Ready to Go – You’re flexible and willing to provide care in participants’ homes when needed.

• Bilingual Bonus – Speaking more than one language is a big plus in serving our diverse community.

• Reliable Transportation – You have a valid California driver’s license, dependable transportation, a clean driving record, and current auto insurance—ensuring you can safely reach those who need you most.
