Community Care Center

Your role goes beyond daily tasks—you become a source of comfort, encouragement, and connection for the people you serve.

We don’t just treat the condition, we walk alongside them on their journey toward healthier, fuller living. Whether you’re providing direct care, preparing meals, or keeping our spaces welcoming, your work makes a real difference in someone’s life.

What makes us unique:

This is a large, inner-city skilled nursing facility that provides care across multiple levels—from geriatric long-term care to a robust behavioral health program. Our patients range from their mid-40s to 80+, many living with physical, cognitive, or behavioral health conditions.

• Our staff and patients are known for their warmth—you’ll be greeted with smiles and “hellos” as you walk through the halls.
• We’re easy to reach, located near W. 43rd & State Street, just off 90/94 and a few blocks from the train.
• We invest in your future. Ask us about educational assistance and how we can help turn your job into a career.

Join us—and find more than just a workplace.

Here, you’ll find meaning, growth, and the chance to change lives, including your own.

What you will do in this role:   Officially we title this job Social Services Director, but in other centers it may be called a Medical Social Worker or Discharge Planner or a PRSD.  

As a Social Services Director, you will help to organize programs for our behavioral health population as well as spearheading multidisciplinary services so they can safely transition home.  This could involve coordinating communication with therapy, nursing and other medical needs.  You will juggle many things at once:  One moment you may be ordering DME & meds, then conducting a Psych/Social Assessment and the next you could be involved with educating the family as they prepare to become the primary caretaker. 

• You will do whatever is needed to support medical & psychological needs of the inpatient guests.

What’s in it for you: 

• Our patients are loud, happy and eager to say hello to you as you pass by.
• You will immediately feel like a part of the family.
• Employee recognition program
• Annual merit increase opportunities
• Robust benefits package, including a retirement savings plan
• Refer-a-Friend programs – Bring your friends & earn a $ bonus $.
