Whether you’re coordinating care with in‑home services, skilled nursing teams, or rehabilitation programs, you’ll gain exposure to a range of long‑term care models, documentation practices, and interdisciplinary collaboration. You’ll benefit from consistent shifts, reliable scheduling, and the chance to immerse yourself in communities that value compassionate, patient‑centered care. The experience is designed to broaden your horizons while keeping your clinical focus sharp and your professional trajectory moving forward.

You’ll participate in care planning, coordinating with physicians, residents’ families, and other care team members to ensure safety, comfort, and dignity. You’ll support activities of daily living, assist with mobility, and provide wound care, diabetes management, and palliative‑level care as appropriate. Documentation in electronic health records, accurate charting, and timely communication are essential. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within geriatric care, including opportunities to advance in wound care, memory care, diabetic management, or specialty certifications that enhance resident outcomes and your expertise. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll be part of a supportive team that emphasizes continuous learning, reflective practice, and quality improvement.
The compensation and benefits package reinforces the value you bring. This assignment includes a competitive sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to align with your career goals.
