Turn meals into moments that feel like home.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary kitchen

• Follow food safety, infection-control, and proper food-storage procedures

• Assist with inventory, food rotation, and minimizing waste

• Communicate effectively with dietary staff, nursing staff, and community leadership

• Help create a welcoming dining experience for our residents

• Step in wherever needed to support the dietary team

• Previous cooking experience preferred; senior living, healthcare, restaurant, or institutional cooking experience is a plus

• Knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices

• Ability to follow recipes, menus, and special-diet instructions

• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic

• Ability to remain organized in a fast-paced kitchen

• A positive attitude and genuine respect for older adults

• ServSafe certification is a plus, but not required

• Meaningful work that makes a difference every day

• Supportive and team-oriented environment

• Consistent schedule

• Competitive pay

• Opportunities to learn and grow

• Employee benefits for eligible team members

• The chance to build relationships with residents who appreciate what you do

If you enjoy cooking, take pride in serving others, and want your work to have a real purpose, we would love to meet you.
