Sunrise Senior Living is not just a provider of accommodation; it offers a vibrant community where seniors can live longer, healthier, and happier lives facilitated by a dedicated team of caregivers, service staff, and support personnel.
The Housekeeper position at Sunrise Senior Living plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety, cleanliness, and comfort of the community environment. This role is vital in ensuring that resident suites, common areas, and support spaces are kept in immaculate condition to meet and exceed Sunrise’s high standards of quality service. The Housekeeper is responsible for a range of cleaning duties including sweeping, dusting, polishing, and sanitizing both resident and public areas, while demonstrating respect for the privacy and dignity of residents by knocking and entering only with permission.
In addition to general housekeeping, this position also involves handling laundry services which include collecting, washing, drying, folding, and redistributing linens. Maintaining the laundry area’s cleanliness and taking care of worn linens in accordance with community standards are integral components of the role. The Housekeeper assists Care Managers and Department Coordinators in supporting resident care by following shared values that promote positive relations and attentive service.

They actively participate in risk management initiatives, adhering to infection control techniques and personal protective equipment guidelines to provide a safe environment for residents and team members alike.
The successful candidate will be a team player committed to the vision and core values of Sunrise Senior Living, contributing to team engagement and continuous improvement. Compliance with ongoing training and workplace safety protocols is mandatory, ensuring that every staff member upholds the highest standards of care and professionalism. The Housekeeper role is suited for individuals who are organized, have good judgment, and manage time effectively even with frequent interruptions.
Working at Sunrise means becoming part of a community where team members are celebrated for their unique contributions to resident wellbeing. The company offers a range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans, retirement savings, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and additional discretionary bonuses based on performance. The employment opportunity is contingent on passing pre-employment screenings and health evaluations, including potential COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations as required by law.
