Personal Care Assistant (CantoneseMandarin)

Imagine a center where our seniors can receive transformative health care that will allow them to age at home and in their communities.

At Asian Health Services we recognize that so many of our elderly patients continue to struggle to get the care they need because of challenges that go beyond the walls of the clinic.

To address these gaps weve found a solution and model of care that integrates the quality care our elders receive at our health center with the most comprehensive support system like transportation culturally-inclusive meals and social activities our elders deserve.
