I believe general caregivers should include friendly great customer service skills. Not just licensed CNAs or RNs a caregiver is able more than able to basically pass meds transport patient and! Have a class c driver license for patients servings needs. Most importantly I stress can't enough that they need medical hospital friendly care and! Companionship! I always refer to my job as a "built in housewife" lol because these elderly need care and not only medical assistance!

I currently live in Bartlesville, OK. It's a wonderful retirement community because it's a small, safe town. But it is big enough that it has everything you need (grocery, hair dresser, restaurants, Movies etc...) close by. There are lots of activities for the community.

I receive information on line almost daily for available jobs in Bartlesville, OK. When I click on the site, there is zero jobs for for Seniors in my area. What jobs are available is other jobs which are not related to jobs for Seniors. The advertisement ads are deceiving, and the heading is a come on for Seniors. Bartlesville is a community of over 35,000 residents, so some jobs should be available. Al Fratzke, Bartlesville, OK
