Resident Care Aide

Job Description

Job Description

You’re the familiar face someone counts on.

You know how she takes her coffee. You know he likes the window seat, and that a quiet morning from him means something’s off. That’s not a checklist. That’s care.

Orchard Hill is a 45-apartment assisted living community in Sudbury. At that size, you'll know every resident by name, and they'll know yours. The work you do shows up in someone's day, every day.

Why you’ll love this job

• Time to actually connect. In a small community, you’re not rushing from room to room. You get to know the people you care for.
• What you notice matters. When you see a change, the nurse hears about it and acts on it.
• A team that has your back. You’ll work side by side with the Wellness Nurse, the Director of Resident Care, and team members who lift each other up.
• Flexible schedules. Full-time and part-time shifts are available.

What you’ll do

• Help residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, always with dignity
• Support safe transfers, walking, and getting around the community
• Give medication reminders and answer calls quickly
• Encourage independence, conversation, and joining in on activities and events
• Notice changes and report them to the Wellness Nurse
• Document care accurately and share updates at shift change
• Help new residents settle in, and keep their rooms comfortable and tidy

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent
• CNA or HHA certification, as required in your state
• 1–2 years of caregiving experience is a plus, especially in senior living or healthcare
• Patience, compassion, and dependability
• Reliability. Our residents count on seeing familiar faces.
• Comfortable on your feet all shift and helping residents move and reposition

What we offer

• Full-time and part-time schedules
• Paid time off (for eligible team members)
• 401(k), starting January 1, 2027
• Room to grow and develop
