Job Description

Life Care Centers is seeking a compassionate and dedicated RN Registered Nurse to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team at Life Care Centers.

As a key member of a senior living and rehabilitation community, you will provide patient-first, high-quality nursing care to adult and geriatric residents in a family-focused environment.

In this role, you will deliver direct bedside care, perform comprehensive patient assessments, administer medications and treatments, and closely monitor residents’ clinical status to support positive rehabilitation and long-term health outcomes.

You will collaborate daily with an interdisciplinary team—including physicians, therapists, CNAs, social services, and families—to develop, implement, and regularly update individualized care plans focused on safety, comfort, and functional improvement.

The RN Registered Nurse will be responsible for accurate and timely documentation in electronic medical records (EMR), adherence to infection control and fall-prevention protocols, effective pain management, and coordination of transitions of care, including discharge planning and education.

You will provide clear, compassionate communication and education to residents and their families about care plans, medications, and ongoing health needs, while modeling a patient-first, respectful, and supportive approach.

This position offers the opportunity to practice professional nursing in a team-based environment that values clinical excellence, continuous learning, and strong outcomes in rehabilitation and senior care.

Life Care Centers supports nurses with a collaborative culture, opportunities for professional growth, and a stable, mission-driven workplace focused on quality care for every resident, every time.
