Why Work in Senior Living?
Choosing senior living as a career path is both rewarding and fun! At Pegasus Senior Living, there are plenty of opportunities to advance and broaden your horizons with continuing education and many ways to grow.
Whether your goal is to learn more about leadership within a community or to serve residents by providing care, Pegasus Senior Living is a great environment to gain new skills and find the next exciting step in your career journey.
“Senior living is definitely a calling,” shares Arle Hsu, Executive Director at Historic Roswell Place. A career in senior care isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others in a way that you won’t find in any other career. Whether your role is in housekeeping, dining services, or on the care team, the work you do every day helps to enrich seniors’ lives. Working in assisted living or memory care allows you to provide the much-needed help and support that residents need to live comfortably after retirement.
Working in memory care is a great way to help seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia live fulfilling, meaningful, and productive lives. Pegasus’ evidence-based Connections program helps seniors Connect, Move, and Learn on their terms. With brain-building activities, sensory stimulation, social engagement, healthy meals, and more, Connections offers a robust approach to memory care.
Working in senior care is a noble and rewarding endeavor that offers a unique opportunity to positively impact older adults’ lives. Here are several compelling reasons to consider a career in senior care:
