Job Description

You make med pass meaningful.

You have a can-do attitude with a passion for living every day to the fullest. Fulfilling your purpose is what drives you and your love for caregiving keeps you going. You don’t see your job as a series of tasks; you see it as an opportunity to provide healing, brighten lives and offer empathetic care to residents and patients. You’re all about exceeding expectations, and you’re proud of your medication aide certification. You know that bringing your best self to work every day is important and that’s exactly what we need in a Certified Medication Aide at Ohio Living.

Why Ohio Living is different

• Close-knit culture. We’re more like a second family here. You’ll get to know your team, our residents and patients, and you’ll appreciate the additional joy it brings to your work.
• Rewarding work. If you are called to care for others, you’ll find real satisfaction at Ohio Living. This is an environment where you can fully use your skills to comfort, assist and inspire.
• Just the start. This is often the beginning of a career with us or within healthcare. Many of our Certified Medication Aides have gone on to become LPNs or RNs – with our assistance along the way.
• Excellent staffing ratios. We are not-for-profit and put quality care first, so you will have fewer residents and patients than at other organizations. That means you can do your work better and build stronger connections.
• Attractive pay and benefits. We offer everything you expect, plus shift differentials, a retirement plan, paid time off, education assistance, pay advances up to $500, recognition programs and free meals.
• Schedules that fit. We’ll work together to find a schedule that meets both of our needs, and we won’t mandate extra hours after your shift.

What you’ll do

Under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse, you will be responsible for dispensing oral, inhalation, and topical medications to patients. You’ll also be an expert in observing patients for drug reactions, taking vitals, and assisting the Charge Nurse in providing patient care. It will be your responsibility to stock the medication carts and ensure that the STNAs are doing frequent rounds. Most importantly, we will look to you to create and maintain an atmosphere of warmth and empathy, as well as a calm environment throughout the unit!

What it takes

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Current unencumbered certification for the state of Ohio to practice as a Certified Medication Aide required
• One year of health care industry experience required
• Proficiency with electronic medical records (EMR) preferred
• STNA License Required
