About the Community Care Associate Role
CCAs provide quality day-to-day care for seniors at nursing homes or senior care centres and are trained in cross-functional areas such as nursing and therapy. They work closely with clinical and therapy teams to ensure that seniors are equipped with skills for independent living.

As a CCA, you will provide seniors support in:
- Activities of daily living (personal hygiene, feeding, transfers)
- Curating recreational programmes and activities
- Interacting and engaging seniors, including developing a supportive relationship between seniors and their family members, for their psychosocial well-being
- Performing motion exercises, mobility training and rehabilitation activities
- Nasogastric tube feeding and planning activities as part of nursing care plans
- Serving pre-packed medication and applying prescribed topical medication
- Performing basic wound care in residential care settings (only applicable to Senior CCAs)
