Known for its strong community and supportive work culture, Park Place Seniors Living provides an enriching environment for both staff and residents.
In the coming months, Park Place is seeking dedicated individuals to join their team in Alberta, offering multiple positions across their facilities.
A collaborative and supportive work environment
At Park Place Seniors Living, the work culture is built on collaboration and mutual respect, and the organization fosters a sense of family and community among its staff.
"We rally around our shared S.T.R.I.V.E values of Safety, Teamwork, Responsibility, Innovation, and Voices that are respected," Kathy Nduwayo, vice president of operations says.
This supportive environment is further enhanced by a long-service recognition program, celebrating team members who have served for 5, 10, 15, and over 20 years.
Senior living offers rewarding work
Working in a senior living community offers a distinct experience compared to traditional healthcare settings like hospitals.
Park Place emphasizes creating a home-like atmosphere where staff can form meaningful relationships with residents and their families.
"In senior living, staff form relationships with residents and family members and one another. There is a sense of community well beyond an environment focused on treating and discharging," Nduwayo says.
This resident-centric approach fosters connections that often continue long after a resident has moved or passed away.
Impactful daily interactions
Daily interactions between staff and residents at Park Place Seniors Living are pivotal in enhancing the quality of life for seniors. These interactions provide emotional support and build trust.
"Residents get insight into a younger generation and the staff get a chance to learn from the experience and stories of residents," Nduwayo says.
This reciprocal relationship is a cornerstone of the rewarding nature of working at Park Place, where even the smallest gestures can make a significant difference in the lives of residents and their families.
Professional growth and development
Park Place Seniors Living is committed to the professional growth of its staff. Employees are encouraged to propose professional development opportunities to their supervisors.
"Because of the diversity of the Park Place Seniors Living portfolio, each operation is very unique," Nduwayo says.
This diversity allows staff to work in different communities and roles, providing a broad range of career opportunities in senior living.
"The uniqueness and independence of each home is encouraged, and ideas and practices are shared through committee work to build best practices," Nduwayo says.
The benefits of a family-owned business
Being a family-owned and operated business shapes the values and practices at Park Place Seniors Living.
"We have the ability to be more flexible and adaptable because the key stakeholders are a family as opposed to several unknown stakeholders," Nduwayo says.
This family perspective emphasizes relationships and commitment to fostering an inclusive environment, making Park Place a supportive and rewarding place to work.
Park Place Seniors Living offers various positions, including health care aides, nurses, maintenance, support services, and recreation services. Each role is designed to make a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors.
