Do you want to work somewhere with a truly ideal patient-to-caregiver ratio?
Where you can actually take the time to provide meaningful, person-centered care?

This is not a nursing home.
This is the Sisters of Mercy Convent, a private residence for retired Sisters. We are not open to the public, which means a calm, respectful, and supportive environment focused entirely on quality of care, not volume.

You will be caring for a small community of retired Sisters in a setting that values dignity, compassion, and relationship-based care.

Why this role is different:

• Low patient-to-caregiver ratio

• Private, peaceful, non-public setting

• Strong team culture with consistent nursing support

• Focus on person-centered, dignified care

• Time to build real relationships with residents

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide direct, person-centered care to retired Sisters

• Assist with ADLs including bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and feeding

• Support mobility, transfers, repositioning, and ambulation

• Monitor and report changes in condition to the Charge Nurse

• Maintain a clean, safe, and respectful living environment

• Provide care with empathy, patience, and professionalism

Qualifications:

• CNA, NA, or HHA experience or certification required

• Dementia care experience is essential

• Experience in gerontology or healthcare preferred

• Strong communication, teamwork, and compassion

• Ability to maintain confidentiality and professionalism

Position Details:

• Status: Per Diem (2 positions available)

• Location: Buffalo, NY

• Pay Range: $17.00 – $21.00 per hour

If you are looking for a role where you can slow down, connect with your patients, and provide the kind of care you went into healthcare to give—this is that job.
