Currently, Pomperaug Woods is seeking a hospitality-focused Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to join its committed team. This role is open for both part-time (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) and full-time shifts (6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.), providing flexibility to candidates. The selected CNA will play a pivotal role in delivering personalized care that aligns with each resident's individualized plan of care, adhering strictly to the community’s policies and procedures. The CNA is more than a caregiver; they are a vital part of the residents’ daily lives, supporting their physical needs such as dressing, grooming, feeding, bathing, positioning, and assisting with treatments, tests, and specimen collections as instructed. Attention to detail is critical, including prompt responsiveness to signal lights, maintaining room cleanliness, and ensuring that residents’ comfort and dignity are upheld at all times. This position requires compassionate interaction, as CNAs escort residents, assist with meals under the Resident Centered CARES Dining Service program, and provide range of motion and skin inspections to promote health and wellbeing. Pomperaug Woods uniquely fosters a workplace culture where employees work alongside domestic animals like dogs, cats, and birds, reflecting the homelike environment they nurture.

The CNA role at Pomperaug Woods is instrumental in modeling the community’s core values and hospitality philosophy.

This position is perfect for individuals passionate about elder care and hospitality who seek a supportive workplace that respects and rewards dedication, empathy, and excellence in caregiving.
