Dignity Health • Phoenix, AZ 85067
Job #2689833744
Overview
Hello humankindness (~~~/)
Founded in 1895 by the Sisters of Mercy, St. Joseph's was the first hospital in the Phoenix area. More than 125 years later, St. Joseph's remains dedicated to its mission of caring for the poor and underserved. Operated by St. Joseph's Hospital, Huger is an assisted- living facility for people with dementia. The grassy five- acre campus was established nearly 20 years ago due in part to the generosity of the late Dr. Raymond Huger, a St. Joseph's psychiatrist whose wife had Alzheimer's disease. He envisioned a facility where residents could remain active, while being treated with dignity and respect. Today, that vision is a reality for the 48 residents who call Huger home; many will live their final days here. Every detail at Huger is carefully crafted to accommodate the special needs of those with dementia, a progressive loss of brain function that can be caused by a multitude of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
Responsibilities
Huger adheres to a social, activity-based model, in which residents are encouraged to interact through a variety of activities. On any given day, you'll find residents involved in anything from music and art to pet therapy.
