5 reasons to choose a housekeeping role at a senior living community
If you've found your way to this blog, chances are you're interested in a housekeeping role. The question is though, what makes a senior living community such a unique place to work? Before we get into it, let's explain who we are.
In short, we've been creating great places to live for seniors for the last 35 years. Our housekeepers are just some of the many people that help us to do so. Their day-to-day activities ensure that every SRG community is clean and welcoming. Our residents truly appreciate the hard work, and that's what makes it a fulfilling and rewarding job.
If you're curious to find out more about the role and if it's right for you, here are the top five reasons to choose a housekeeping role at a senior living community:
Help create an experience like no other
People love living in our communities. And it's down to our team of housekeepers, caregivers, chefs, activity assistants, and many others that keep things ticking along nicely.
You will be responsible for ensuring their living environment is clean, comfortable, and safe, which can greatly improve their quality of life. You'll go above and beyond to create a great experience, reporting any issues to the maintenance team and making sure that every team in your community is working together to deliver excellent service and exceptional care.
Make personal connections
Remember, your role as a housekeeper is so much more than keeping spaces safe and tidy. The work you do can enable residents to be more independent and support their well-being. Here are four ways you can build personal connections:
- Remember their name and get to know them
- Take the time to chat and listen to their stories
- Tell them about your day and let them get to know you
- Remember their preferences and the finer details
- Participate in community activities
Career path
It's no secret that the US population is aging. Recent figures show that one in five Americans will be 65 years and older by 2040. This is creating more demand for senior living communities and sparking a greater need for housekeeping staff. If you're looking for job security, this could be the perfect environment for you.
At SRG, we provide the training you need to feel confident that you can do a great job. If you've got your sights on becoming a supervisor, we'll invest in your development.
Benefits
The benefits an employer offers can significantly impact your overall compensation and quality of life. They're an important part of evaluating a job opportunity. Always make sure to check that the pay is competitive and there's a strong benefits package.
At SRG, we offer access to affordable medical care, mental health support, and wellness programs. It's how we show that we care about your well-being.
Be a part of a community
Not only will you build connections with residents, but you'll work with great people. Working in a senior living community means you'll have the support of your supervisor, fellow housekeepers, and other custodians working in the housekeeping team. Together, you'll share responsibility for delivering resident services and ensuring every person is looked after.
At SRG, we like to say that we is a whole lot stronger than I. By that, we mean we can achieve so much more when we come together and support one another. No matter what SRG community you join - and there are quite a few to choose from - you'll understand what it feels like to be a part of something bigger than yourself.
Find a housekeeping role at an SRG community
Do you want to be a part of a supportive community and do a job you can be proud of? Then we're looking for people just like you to join our team.
In 2021, we were recognized as a Great Place to Work. What does that mean? It means our current employees believe in our leadership, values, and goals. And it doesn't get much better than that.
We know why SRG is a great place to work, now why not find out for yourself? Explore our housekeeping roles to find a community near you.
