Resident Services Deliver compassionate, individualized care aligned with Legacy's philosophy and resident rights. Support residents' physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Promote resident independence while ensuring safety and respect for personal choice. Explain each medication and its purpose to residents before administration. Observe and promptly report any adverse reactions or changes in condition to the Wellness Nurse or supervisor. Adhere to infection control and OSHA regulations, including safe waste disposal. Respond calmly and effectively to resident calls and emergencies. Build positive relationships with residents, families, and team members.
