Ensure patient comfort by adjusting beds, providing pillows/blankets, and keeping water pitchers full.
Encourage patient independence where possible, offering support for ADLs while promoting autonomy.
Assist with patient turning, positioning, and mobility, using proper body mechanics to maintain safety.
Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized patient environment.
Monitor and observe patients’ physical and emotional well-being, reporting any significant changes to the care team.

Requirements:

Education: High School Diploma or GED (required)
Experience: 1-3 years in a healthcare or psychiatric setting (preferred)
Certifications:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification from the American Heart Association (preferred)
- Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) License (required, or eligibility to obtain Maryland CNA license)
