What is an Assisted Living Technician?

Assisted Living Technicians provide compassionate support for elderly or disabled individuals who wish to maintain independence in assisted living facilities, residential homes, or retirement communities where full-time medical care isn’t required.

They serve others in practical and meaningful ways—helping with daily needs like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication reminders. They may also assist with light housekeeping, organizing transportation, and offering the gift of companionship, reflecting the Adventist value of caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

In this role, technicians not only help seniors live with dignity and purpose but also bring peace of mind to families, knowing their loved ones are being supported in a nurturing environment aligned with principles of service and compassion.
