In this role you’ll join a dedicated team that blends clinical excellence with warm, person-centered care, all within a region celebrated for its sunlit skies, expansive landscapes, and welcoming communities. The beauty of New Mexico is a constant companion to your work, from the Organ Mountains’ rugged serenity to the otherworldly allure of White Sands, offering inspiration and renewal outside the workplace. Imagine mornings that begin with crisp desert air, afternoons spent enjoying local cultural events, and evenings where you can unwind in a city known for its heritage, cuisine, and outdoor adventures.

You’ll participate in care planning, document clearly and timely, educate residents and families, and respond promptly to changes in condition with clinical judgment and professional composure. The role emphasizes professional growth within the long-term care specialty, with opportunities to advance toward leadership tracks, specialized certifications, and cross-training across geriatric care services.
