Monitoring and documenting client progress and ensuring their safety and well-being. Foster a positive environment that encourages independence, dignity, and respect for all individuals. Provide support in medication administration as per prescribed guidelines.

Hear From Our Staff:

"What I like most about working at community care of Iowa is that most days it does not even feel like work I get to come in and spend time hanging out with amazing clients with great personalities. What gives me the greatest sense of fulfillment is when I am able to come in and bring a smile to someone's face and just being able to be a listening ear to someone who is having a tough time. I choose to do this work because I love being able to make a positive impact on someone's life."
