Would I Recommend… • I really enjoyed working in this environment, however it is not for everyone… • You get to know residents by a first name basis, thereby establishing a relationship with those residents; even when you only see one particular resident once a week it is still hard to come to terms with the fact that the resident may very well not be there when you come back the next week • The hours are very flexible; during my time in the facility, I was able to come at any time between 9am-5pm (this includes weekends)
