Cook – Full Time | Leonard Florence Center for Living Payrate: $20-$22 per hour

The Leonard Florence Center for Living, located in scenic and historic "Admirals Hill" in Chelsea, MA is part of Chelsea Jewish Lifecare—a non-profit, mission-driven organization which has been providing innovative care to the elderly and disabled in Massachusetts for over 100 years!

The Leonard Florence Center for Living sets the stage for a model of care that is far removed from traditional nursing homes. The prevailing goal of the Leonard Florence Center is to create a "real" home that provides exceptional care, but also supports those seeking to redefine the worth and meaning of late life and those living with debilitating diseases. It is not only the first urban Green House skilled nursing facility in the country, but it also has the remarkable distinction of showcasing three homes dedicated to caring for individuals living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) and multiple sclerosis (M.S.). Most recently, we opened a state-of-the-art Ventilator Unit--the only one of the kind in the world!

Overview We are seeking individuals that take pride in delivering excellence in serving others, especially our elderly population. Working to support the Green House model of care, the cook will prepare food in accordance with local, state and federal standards, guidelines and regulations. The cook will work in collaboration with the dietitian, residents and the Shahbazim (CNAs) to ensure the that nutritious and delicious food is prepared for our residents.
