About You:

You're known as the 'go to' person to talk to, given your warm and compassionate personality and how you make people feel heard.

You can quickly put yourself in someone else's shoes and relate to their unique challenges and needs. You have an impressive analytical mind that comes up with solutions to problems without getting frustrated.

Negotiation, diplomacy and tact are your trademarks, and you're known for always being so kind in your interactions with residents, families and team members.

Servant Leadership also comes naturally to you as you don't mind rolling up your sleeves to "jump in" when the situation calls for it.

You are obsessed with organization and preparation and always seem to find time in your calendar for unexpected situations that pop up occasionally.

Your years of experience in this field have made you very resilient, with an ability to be laser-focused on your resident's needs even when the situation is challenging.
