Omar Cain

CNA
Golden LivingCenter - Stenton

Every morning, Omar Cain greets the residents at Golden LivingCenter – Stenton with a smile and a wave. As a certified nursing assistant for the past nine years, Omar is responsible for quality, hands-on care of the residents, including helping residents in and out of bed and making sure that they receive their meals.

For Omar, being a CNA is very meaningful work. “I love interacting with the residents and listening to them spread their knowledge about life,” Omar explained.

Omar made the decision to be a CNA after his aunt, who is a director of nursing, encouraged him to try it out. Although he was unsure about pursuing this sort of career, he quickly realized that the reason it was right for him was because his heart is in the work. “Being a CNA is not for everyone,” he said. He believes that showing integrity and respect is the way to provide his residents with excellent care.

Besides the fact that Omar is consistently kind and helpful, the residents and staff members at Golden LivingCenter – Stenton love the fact that he writes and performs his own positive raps about the residents and being a certified nursing assistant. Since he has always loved music, he chooses to use it as a way to spread love, caring and positive thoughts.
