As far as schedules go, some facilities give you alot of days off, others don't. Some facilities are so short of staff that you are fortunant to get one or two days off a month. On the other hand I have seen facilities that advertise a 4 days on and 4 days off schedule. Most however fall somewhere in between. I am sure there are several others out there.
Benefits also vary with the facility.
Housing quarters also vary. My wife and I have worked at one facility where we had a 110 square foot room for our entire family of 4. We lived there for 15 months. Most are somewhere in the middle. For me, being a Houseparent is the most stressful job I have ever had.
