Anamosa Care Center
Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, based in Anamosa, Iowa, beginning on 01/19/2026. This is more than a job—it's a commitment to the well-being and dignity of our residents, day after day. As you step into this assignment, you’ll blend clinical skill with compassionate presence, guiding daily routines, monitoring health, administering medications, and coordinating with an interdisciplinary team to craft care plans that promote safety, comfort, and independence. Your work will matter in tangible, meaningful ways—the kind of impact that residents feel in the moment and families remember for a lifetime. Picture yourself building trustful relationships with residents, supporting families during transitions, and contributing to a team that celebrates progress, learns from challenges, and continuously grows in geriatrics. And beyond Anamosa, the opportunity exists to travel to diverse locations across the United States, broadening your professional horizons while you maintain the steady, trusted care that families rely on. This is your chance to shape your career in a specialty that honors aging with dignity, resilience, and respect, all while enjoying the unique beauty and welcoming pace of Iowa’s heartland.
Anamosa’s appeal lies in the warmth of its community and the balance it offers between a peaceful lifestyle and access to enriching experiences. The area combines the charm of small-town Iowa with proximity to cultural outlets, parks, and local trails that invite outdoor exploration after shifts. The region’s inviting neighborhoods foster meaningful connections with residents and colleagues alike, reinforcing a sense of purpose and belonging. For those with a sense of adventure, the possibility to work in other locations across the country adds variety, exposure to different facility cultures, and the chance to expand clinical competencies—from urban nursing homes to rural community settings. You’ll enjoy reasonable living costs, accessibility to services, and the reward of contributing to seniors’ quality of life in a setting that values steadiness, attentiveness, and professional integrity.
As a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care, your responsibilities will center on resident-centered care, safety, and continuous assessment. You’ll perform comprehensive observations, monitor vitals, and recognize early signs of medical changes. Administer medications and treatments in accordance with physician orders and state regulations, ensure accurate documentation, and communicate changes to the supervising Registered Nurse and care team. You’ll assist residents with activities of daily living, encourage independence, support mobility and fall prevention strategies, participate in wound care and skin integrity programs, and contribute to individualized care plans. You’ll engage with families, educate them about care plans, and coordinate with therapists, social workers, and dietary staff to maintain holistic well-being. This role emphasizes professional growth within geriatrics: opportunities to pursue wound care certification, palliative care principles, or specialty training with the support of mentors and access to continuing education. The position offers competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $1,517-$1,668, accompanied by a robust benefits package that recognizes the critical role you play in residents’ daily lives. You’ll have guaranteed hours at 36 per week, with a predictable schedule designed to support work-life balance while meeting the needs of residents. The assignment runs in weeks, offering flexibility and the chance to explore a variety of clinical environments as you grow.
To support your success, you’ll have a comprehensive suite of benefits. A competitive weekly rate is complemented by a sign-on or performance-based bonus, acknowledging the skill and dedication you bring to the role. Housing assistance helps ease transitional periods, ensuring you can focus on patient care rather than logistical hurdles. There are extension opportunities if you enjoy the assignment and the team—allowing you to continue building relationships and deepening clinical expertise in a familiar setting or to explore new locations if you choose. In addition, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with our company, giving you a trusted partner at all times, no matter where your assignment takes you. The combination of structured supervision, ongoing mentorship, and access to day-to-day support makes this a truly supportive environment for professional development and personal well-being.
Our company is built on empowering our staff. We are dedicated to career advancement, recognizing that growth comes from experience, education, and collaboration. You’ll join a culture that values your voice, provides resources to sharpen clinical skills, and fosters a work environment where compassion and competence go hand in hand.

Our aim is to create a workplace where nurses feel valued, heard, and equipped to deliver high-quality care every shift, every resident, every day.
