Care Assistant

Ensuring our elderly residents have a pleasant and safe day. That is exactly what you were made for.

When Ada hears your voice, a smile appears on her face. She knows that you not only help with daily care, but also have an eye for her well-being. While helping her dress, you have a chat, notice small changes, and know when to act or when to simply take a moment. Whether you are a Care Assistant or a Care Assistant Plus: your attention makes the difference.

You provide daily care and guidance to residents according to the care or treatment plan. You stimulate their self-reliance and actively contribute to their well-being.
