About Senior Community Care of Michigan:

Senior Community Care of Michigan - PACE is part of Volunteers of America National Services which serves as the Housing and Healthcare affiliate of the Volunteers of America parent organization.

PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Our team members include clinical professionals, housekeepers, maintenance associates, and culinary employees among others. Unlike some clinical environments, PACE centers offer employees flexible work schedules, with most positions only requiring occasional weekends. Team members have an opportunity to get to know their patients and build meaningful relationships.

Our Senior Community Care of Lansing, MI, values our staff and residents at the highest level. In the capital city of Michigan, staff call a vibrant, diverse, and bustling city their home. Our PACE program allows for more standard working hours than is usual with elder care careers, and we foster a work-life balance by offering employees paid-time off benefits as part of our comprehensive benefits package, as well as creating moments of appreciation in the workplace throughout the year. Come join us at SCCMI, and see why VOANS has been voted by employees as a Great Place To Work the past 4 years running.

In our 2022 Great Place to Work survey, employees said their work has a special meaning: this is not "just a job".
