Luxury Senior Living Communities, located in Kendall, Coral Gables, and Homestead, are premier providers of upscale independent living options for active adults. Among these communities stands the Palace at Coral Gables, situated at 1 Andalusia Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134, which proudly holds the distinction of being the Best Independent Living Community in the US, as recognized by the National Association of Home Builders in 2014. These communities emphasize providing residents with not only high-quality living spaces but also an environment that supports wellness, social engagement, and comfort in their retirement years. With a focus on luxury and care, these communities have established themselves as leaders in senior independent living.

The Housekeeper role at the Palace at Coral Gables is integral to maintaining the high standards of cleanliness and hygiene that contribute to a safe and pleasant living environment.

Housekeepers in this role are responsible for a variety of cleaning tasks including rooms, public areas, restrooms, corridors, elevators, stairways, offices, and designated outdoor areas. Attention to detail is paramount, as is the ability to manage time efficiently and multitask in a sometimes fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate will bring at least three years of housekeeping experience, particularly in healthcare settings, combined with a strong work ethic and the flexibility to work weekends, holidays, and emergency situations. Bilingual communication skills, especially English and Spanish, are a plus, facilitating better engagement with the diverse community and staff.

This position offers an excellent opportunity for individuals who take pride in their work, are meticulous and punctual, and who find satisfaction in contributing to the well-being of senior residents through maintaining a spotless environment. Candidates are expected to be self-motivated but also able to collaborate within a team setting. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are essential to interact effectively with residents and colleagues, ensuring that the atmosphere remains respectful and empathetic. Overall, this role is crucial to sustaining the luxurious and caring ambiance that the Palace at Coral Gables is renowned for, supporting both the physical health and the quality of life of its residents.
