Brief Description

Drivers provide transportation services that enrich the lives of our residents.

Our Drivers understand the importance of time management, communication, and being patient and compassionate while interacting with residents.

Our goal is to build programming that enhances our residents’ quality of life and is enjoyable and beneficial to their well-being.

We expect all associates to be willing to lend a helping hand to co-workers, direct reports, and supervisors, whether it is one of their typical job responsibilities or not. This includes welcoming new associates and residents into the community and making them feel at home. Associates need to keep the best interests of the residents and other associates in mind, and be an active participant in accomplishing team, community, and company goals.
