More Than Traditional Long-Term Care

Elderwood is a skilled nursing community providing long-term care, memory care, and comprehensive subacute rehabilitation.

- Dialysis coordination

Depending on your assignment, resident needs, physician orders, and demonstrated competencies, you may care for patients receiving these treatments while managing medications, completing assessments, monitoring clinical progress, coordinating services, and preparing patients for a safe transition to their next level of care.

For RNs who enjoy med-surg-style clinical variety but also value continuity, teamwork, and meaningful patient relationships, this is an engaging post-acute nursing environment.

You will also collaborate with providers, rehabilitation professionals, and other members of the interdisciplinary team.

Facility clinical leadership receives additional support from Elderwood Administrative Services, including organization-wide direction from the Chief Nursing Officer and an assigned Regional Nurse Consultant. This broader structure supports clinical standards, quality, regulatory readiness, leadership development, and problem-solving throughout the facility - giving bedside nurses the benefit of working within an established clinical organization.

Registered Nurses may have opportunities to develop as preceptors, RN Supervisors, Unit Managers, Nurse Educators, ADONs, DONs, and other clinical leaders.
