Schedule available: PRN (as needed) 

Pay Range: $18 - $20

Make a difference by providing great care and love for our treasured residents!

At MorningStar Senior Living, we talk a lot about culture.

In fact, we rather obsess about it.

For without a transformative culture, we cannot begin to elevate and celebrate the lives of our resident-heroes, and be ourselves changed for the good in the process.

So, we seek great hearts, other people like us, who care and want to do work that matters.

We select people like us who believe that the most satisfying life is one that is outward-bound and rooted in servant-leadership.  

JOB SUMMARY 

The Med Care Manager/QMAP must administer, pour, pass, and document all routinely prescribed medications per physician orders under the direction of the Wellness Director and as approved by the State Medication Administration Regulations.

Some may even play a game of hide and seek, pressing you to find where they may be in the community when it’s time for their medication.
