  • Salary:  70-78k, Based on experience and credentials
  • Schedule:  Full-time / Days with some schedule fluctuations based on the needs of the centers

  • Travel:  We have 8 locations (SNF, ICF & SMHRF) within the Chicagoland region.  Your daily travel will be extensive. 

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.

  • Employee recognition program
  • Annual merit increase opportunities
