LOVE YOUR WORK. JOIN OUR TEAM.

As thought leaders in the industry, we take a positive, holistic approach to senior care and encourage independence, as people are happiest when they can make their own choices. We provide opportunities for physical activity, social engagement, intellectual stimulation, spiritual involvement, and fun. We treat our residents and our team members like family. This opportunity will allow you to positively impact the quality of life for over 700 seniors and their families.

Nurse - RN, LPN or LVN

We are looking for the right person to partner with our team to implement the day-to-day nursing activities for our assisted living and memory care residents.
