Seasons CNA

$18.70 hourly - $22.24 hourly

 

 

The Seasons CNA assists with ensuring the health and well-being of our residents by providing resident related support services as well as therapeutic and social programming to meet the physical and emotional needs of residents.

Elderwood at Waverly is a skilled nursing community serving long-term residents, individuals with memory-care needs, and short-stay rehabilitation patients transitioning from hospital to home.

 

Our clinical teams care for individuals recovering from illness, injury, surgery, orthopedic procedures, and cardiac conditions. Facility capabilities include IV therapy, PICC-line management, wound-vac therapy, complex wound and ostomy care, enteral feeding, and dialysis coordination.

 

As a CNA, you will not be responsible for performing licensed-nursing treatments. You will play an essential role in the care team by assisting with daily needs, observing and reporting changes, supporting mobility and recovery goals, and communicating closely with nurses and rehabilitation professionals.

 

This is a strong environment for CNAs who want exposure to a clinically active post-acute setting while developing the observation, communication, and resident-care skills that create a strong foundation for continued healthcare growth.

A CNA position can be both meaningful work today and the beginning of a longer healthcare career.  At Elderwood, CNAs gain valuable experience working directly with residents, nurses, rehabilitation professionals, and clinical leaders. Tuition-reimbursement programs are available to help eligible employees pursue additional education and future opportunities.

 

Whether you want to become a stronger and more experienced CNA or eventually pursue a career as an LPN, RN, educator, or nurse leader, Elderwood offers an environment where your growth can be recognized and supported.

CNA work is active, hands-on, and deeply important. The right candidate will bring compassion - but also reliability, observation, teamwork, and a willingness to be accountable to residents and coworkers.

If you take pride in providing respectful care and want an opportunity with multiple shifts, meaningful clinical exposure, and room to grow, apply today to join Elderwood.
