Our mission that the later years of life are filled with the potential for love, growth, friendship, peace, and dignity succeeds because of our experienced staff.

    Resident Care Registered Nurse

    Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., No Holidays, with Occasional Saturday Coverage (8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.)

    • No holidays
    • One Saturday per month, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
    • No routine evening or overnight shifts

    The Resident Care Office serves as the Primary Care Provider Office for the Independent Living population on our campus. Our Resident Care RN provides personalized nursing support to residents who live independently within our community. This unique nursing role focuses on building meaningful, long-term relationships while helping residents maintain their health, wellness, and independence.

    Working closely with our Nurse Practitioners, Physicians, residents, and their families, the Resident Care RN serves as a key clinical resource and advocate. Responsibilities include assisting with physician clinics and resident appointments, completing nursing assessments and health screenings, obtaining vital signs, providing treatments such as wound care and injections, and supporting ongoing wellness initiatives.

    A significant focus of this position is coordinating and managing resident care needs. The Resident Care RN conducts telephone triage, responds to resident health concerns, coordinates medications and treatment plans, and provides post-hospitalization and post-emergency department follow-up to support continuity of care and successful recovery. The RN must be able to recognize changes in a resident’s condition, exercise sound clinical judgment, and appropriately escalate concerns to providers or emergency services when necessary.

    Success in this role requires exceptional organization, strong communication skills, reliability, and a genuine commitment to working with older adults. Because the Resident Care Office operates within a small, collaborative team, the ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities, and taking ownership of responsibilities while also contributing positively as a supportive team member.

    Rather than managing a traditional bedside assignment, the Resident Care RN focuses on proactive health management, care coordination, resident education, and wellness support, helping older adults maintain their independence and quality of life in a community setting.

    Ideal Qualifications:

    • Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in Pennsylvania
    • Strong assessment, critical thinking, and clinical decision-making skills
    • Experience in geriatrics, primary care, ambulatory care, case management, community health, or a related setting preferred
    • Demonstrated ability to provide telephone triage and coordinate resident care needs
    • Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills
    • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with providers and interdisciplinary team members
    • Compassionate, resident-centered approach with a commitment to supporting older adults

    Community Location:

    Located near West Chester, PA, Wilmington, DE, and Maryland, our community is nestled on 500 acres of rolling hills, green meadows, and beautiful gardens. Adjacent to famous Longwood Gardens, residents and staff enjoy the local cultural opportunities, vibrant towns, and working in an oasis in the heart of the Brandywine valley.
