My experience in working in the retirement and nursing homes includes assisting residents with activities of daily living and ensuring that their medication is being administered in a timely fashion along with promoting healthy socialization between residents and with the management of the homes. I am highly skilled in providing on time meals, laundry assistance and housekeeping services. I appreciate the need of handling seniors and people with disabilities.
