Long Term Care Unit: Building on over 30 years of high-quality long-term care, Helen Porter provides dedicated support in a specialized Long-Term Care neighborhood, separate from our Memory Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation units. Residents receive skilled nursing care, daily living assistance, and individualized activities and programs tailored to their abilities and needs.

Memory Care Unit: Our Memory Care Unit provides specialized dementia care designed to meet residents’ changing needs as cognitive symptoms progress. Through our early-stage, activity-based memory care program, we offer a safe, supportive, and home-like environment that helps individuals maintain dignity, purpose, and functional abilities. This dedicated Memory Care neighborhood is staffed by compassionate dementia-trained caregivers who advocate for and protect our most vulnerable residents.

Post Acute Care: The goal of our Post Acute Unit is to provide supportive, goal-directed care following surgery and/or hospitalization. This amazing program helps prevent re-hospitalization and transition folks out of being hospitalized. Specially designed treatment programs provide patients with the preparation, support and education that enables them to return home as quickly as possible where patients can reach their highest possible level of independence. We provide rehabilitation and nursing support for a wide range of conditions, including stroke recovery, neurological disorders, orthopedic needs, respiratory conditions, cardiac issues, and post-trauma care. Routine therapy services are available Monday through Friday, with the option of six-day-per-week therapy when needed to maximize progress. Our nursing team extends therapeutic care between sessions by assisting with walking, exercises, and activity programs developed by our therapy staff, ensuring consistent support and strong clinical outcomes.

On-call: Not Required

Incentives: Up to a $10,000 sign-on bonus. Hourly Shift Differential: $3 Eve, $5 Night, $2 Weekend
