For bedridden residents, this may include turning or repositioning residents for comfort and prevention of bedsores.

Maintaining a clean and sanitized environment Depending on daily needs, this can involve changing soiled sheets, cleaning up spills, changing bedpans, setting up equipment, and reducing the spread of germs and infection in the residents' living area. Facilitating resident care The daily direct contact you have with residents also gives you the opportunity to identify bruises, blood in urine, and other injuries and report them to medical staff who can initiate care. Providing companionship and friendship Since you'll spend so much time with the residents, you'll often have to provide compassion and comfort to those who are lonely, frustrated, or scared.
