Exceptional Benefits

We believe that taking care of our employees is just as important as taking care of our residents. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being and professional growth.

Little Sprouts On-Site Daycare Operated by Colonie Youth Center

We understand the challenges of balancing work and family. That’s why we provide care by Little Sprouts, our low to no-cost on-site children’s daycare. For our full-time CNAs, daycare services are entirely free, ensuring peace of mind while you’re at work. Designed for toddlers (18 months to three years) and preschoolers (three to five years), the program features a play-based curriculum that supports language development, social skills and cognitive growth. Toddlers engage in structured activities and outdoor play to enhance motor skills, while preschoolers benefit from a comprehensive curriculum emphasizing early literacy, numeracy and critical thinking. Hands-on learning in science, art and music, along with intergenerational socialization with our residents, ensures a rich and engaging experience. Little Sprouts offers a safe, stimulating environment where your child can thrive.

Free CDTA Bus Pass

Convenient transportation is crucial, which is why we offer a free CDTA bus pass with a direct stop at Shaker Place, making your commute as smooth as possible.

Experience-Based Pay and Shift Differentials

We value the experience and expertise you bring to our team. Our compensation structure includes experience-based pay that reflects your professional background. Additionally, we offer shift differentials for those working evenings, nights or weekends, recognizing the additional commitment required for these shifts.

New York State Pension and Optional Deferred Compensation

Planning for retirement is crucial and we support your long-term financial security with our New York State Pension plan. For those seeking additional retirement savings options, we also offer deferred compensation plans. These benefits help you build a secure financial future and enjoy peace of mind in your retirement years.

We are dedicated to your professional growth. Our tuition reimbursement program supports your pursuit of higher education and advanced certifications. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skills or advance your career, we provide financial assistance to help you achieve your educational goals.

We believe that taking time off is essential for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Our generous paid time off policy includes vacation days, personal days and holidays, allowing you to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones. We want you to feel rested and rejuvenated so you can perform at your best.

529 College Savings Plan

Investing in education is a valuable goal for many families. Our 529 college savings plan provides a tax-advantaged way to save for educational expenses. This benefit helps you plan and prepare for your children’s future college expenses, making higher education more accessible.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Managing health care costs can be challenging and our Flexible Spending Account (FSA) helps by allowing you to set aside pretax dollars for qualified medical expenses.
