Responsibilities for RNs Working in Assisted Living Settings

  • Delegate tasks to and supervise caregivers and CNAs, providing guidance and on-the-spot training.
  • Support residents in memory care and those living with dementia, using person-centered approaches.
  • Communicate with residents' families about health changes, care plans, and concerns, offering reassurance and education.
  • Lead fall prevention, infection control, and safety practices throughout the community.
  • Document assessments, interventions, and incidents accurately and on time, following state regulations and community policies.
  • Maintain resident confidentiality, dignity, and professional conduct at all times.

* Responsibilities are at the facility's discretion and may vary.

Facility Requirements
