Elder Sharaths
St. John's Lutheran Ministries vision for the future . . .
Enhancing the lives of our elders with the opening of the
new Assisted Living Alzheimer's Cottages.
Just like home - family taking care of each
other. Meals together, helping with chores, sharing stories,
celebrating special times together.
A new position "Elder Sharath" was introduced in the first
two cottages. This position enjoys the benefits of becoming
a family with the residents they serve. The "Elder Sharath"
will learn and take responsibility for multiple skills
focusing on the resident and will become an integral part of
the day to day decisions of the family.
An Elder Sharath will be responsible for creating a
nurturing home for residents and provide care and services
to meet their needs within an environment of hope, dignity,
and love. The Elder Sharath will work cooperatively and
respectfully with residents, co-workers, families, medical
staff, visitors, and volunteers to create this positive
environment. Responsibilities include, but are not limited
to, personal care, housekeeping, home maintenance, food
preparation and service, activities, record keeping, and
financial stewardship. Just like a home!
The Elder Sharath will need to acquire training in the
following skills:
-
Certified Nursing Assistant
-
Food Preparation and Service
-
Housekeeping, Laundry, Light Maintenance
-
Activities
-
Household Financial Management
-
Computer Skills
-
Teambuilding and Problem Solving
-
Leadership
-
Purchasing and Ordering
You must commit to over 60 hours of
training over a 6 month period, 8 hours per week. There will
be an additional 80 hours for non-CNA's. Elder Sharaths will
be paid for this training!
Fulltime and part-time employees at St. John's have access
to a wide range of
benefits.
Applications can be
picked up at the front desk of the East Entry or printed out
and mailed in. If you have any further questions, please
