CMT

Weller Place
03.2021 - 10.2022
  • Actively participated in quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and overall satisfaction levels.
  • Reduced errors in medication administration with thorough documentation and verification processes.
  • As Weller is a retirement home with one cook and one CMT on duty, I was also responsible for housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, and anything else they may have needed assistance with.
  • This was through the heaviest part of Covid 19, and the biggest help to these residents was keeping them company. They were, like many of us, cut off from going out, seeing family, holding their grandchildren, and more. Sitting and talking was the best thing for them. After all, they are just people like you and me.

  • Maintained confidentiality of patient information according to HIPAA guidelines while communicating effectively with team members about critical updates.
  • Answered call lights and supported patient comfort and safety by adjusting bed rails and equipment.
