  • Status:  full time, 40 hours per week
  • Schedule:  Days, Monday-Friday with occasional Manager on Duty (MOD) weekend day rotation.

You’re not just your job title.  Your role here extends far beyond your job description.  You are a friend and family member to each resident.  You know their name and their story.  You are providing compassion and companionship to those in our care.  This family aspect is what sets us apart from other health care sectors. 

When someone becomes a patient here, each of us becomes their partner on their journey to healthy living. No matter the illness, injury or limitation.

 

Join us and make a connection of your own.  Join us and make a difference in someone’s life.

 

A little more about our center:

Crestwood Terrace is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) with 126 beds and is providing patient care to the mentally ill/behavior health population (ages 21 and up).  Located in a quiet neighborhood, we are one of 3 medical centers on our street.  What makes us unique:

  • Highly ranked Quality Measures – this means we provide excellent clinical care
  • Consistently high patient satisfaction rating and feedback – our residents love us
  • Our Social Services team is proud of their specialized programming, including restorative, Life Skills Training as well as off & onsite therapy sessions.
  • Our patients are active and ready to engage with you. Stop by the game room and play a little basketball, air hockey or arcade games with them. They can’t wait to meet you.
  • We have a close-knit team that has FUN and even produced a Crestwood Family Christmas card.  Casual Fridays, Ugly Christmas sweater contest, t-shirt slogan contests…  It’s a happy place to work.

The National Association of Rehab Providers & Agencies (NARA) awarded Transitional Care Management their “Impact Award” for 2023 for our Life Skills Programming.  This center is using that very same “Life Skills Program” and changing lives every day.  Ask us about it during your interview – we’d be delighted to share our Social Services success stories.  It’s so much more than what your current Psych/Social team is doing now
