A Certified Geriatric Nursing Assistant (CNA) is an important member of our care team dedicated to the well-being of each resident. Working under the direction of a licensed nurse (RN or LPN) the CNA build a respectful and warm relationship with each resident being cared for while providing hands-on support and nursing care in a variety of settings within communities. These settings can include, Assisted Living, Comprehensive Care, and Home and Community Based Services. The work focus of a CNA will vary depending on which of these settings has been chosen for a work assignment and the individual needs of the resident. CNAs provide various levels and types of care to our residents to include assistance with or completion of activities of daily living (ADLs): bathing, dressing, dining, and help with personal appearance, bathroom assistance, mobility, and restorative care. Working closely with each resident, the CNA will often obtain information such as vital signs, weight, and height and will be required to not only accurately document this (and other) information; but to also effectively communicate this information to the nurse and other members of the care team. Nursing assistants are a helpful liaison between the nurse and the resident. The nursing assistant is the person whose relationship with each resident makes communities "home."
