More about Essex Center
The facility provides long-term residential care and rehabilitation services, employing Registered Nurses (RNs), Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs), and other caregiving staff. Job listings indicate the facility is actively recruiting across all shifts, offering sign-on bonuses and recently increased pay rates to attract nursing talent. The facility's care model centers on resident personal hygiene assistance, medication administration, nutritional support, health monitoring, and multidisciplinary care strategies. The discrepancy between the listed location (Plattsburgh) and the job posting address (81 Park St, Elizabethtown, NY 12932) suggests prospective applicants should verify the exact work location during the application process.
Job descriptions emphasize resident-centered care, adherence to facility philosophies and standards of care, multidisciplinary teamwork, infection-control protocols, and maintaining resident confidentiality and confidence.
