House of Care - Personal Care Home

Administrator Position

Application Reviews Begin 11/4

The House of Care is a small, personal care home for 5 residents located in downtown State College that provides care for individuals in need of assistance with the tasks of daily living and who do not have the finances and/or family support to obtain that assistance.

The mission of House of Care is to recognize the dignity and worth of each person, to establish personal care for those with limited life expectancy and care for people with declining or compromised health, and to administer to the emotional and physical well-being of residents in a family-like atmosphere.
 

Position Description:
The House of Care Administrator is responsible for the overall business operation of the House of Care and the day-to-day operations of the facility. This is an exempt management position that requires a minimum of 20 on-site hours per week and may involve evening or weekend hours as needed. Specific daytime hours are flexible when responsibilities allow and the administrator remains accessible to staff. Benefits are not included with compensation at this time.

The State College Food Bank, the State College Area School District (SCASD), and the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank want to ensure that Centre County families have the food that they need for a great Thanksgiving meal. They will be distributing turkeys and groceries for a Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday, November 17.

The State College Food Bank serves many area families, and they are already signed up to receive food for their Thanksgiving feast. The Thanksgiving distribution that is being coordinated by SCASD is for individuals and families in Centre County who are not typically clients of the State College Food Bank but could use a little extra help this holiday.

If your family would like to take advantage of this program, please register to reserve your Thanksgiving supplies by November 6, 2020

Pick up will be on November 17, from 4:00 - 6:30 PM, at the SCASD North/Delta Building, 653 Westerly Parkway, State College.

Please feel free to share this information with any Centre County family or individual you know who may benefit from this program.
