Additional Job Information

SPECIAL NOTE: What sets us apart at ResCare Community Living is that we offer paid CNA training with class time ranging 4-6 weeks for our DSP's working at our Casa De Vida location, which should result in a CNA license upon successful completion of a written test, skills test and any additional state licensing requirements. This would be an amazing opportunity for someone new to the field, or someone who is interested in a pre-nursing, pre-health, or pre-med program, as being a CNA is an excellent way to get experience and patient contact hours necessary to satisfy prerequisites for these programs!
