The short version

You would be joining Kingsway Community on a 25-acre campus in Schenectady’s Woodlawn section—locally owned and family-operated since 1975. The same grounds hold skilled nursing and rehab at Kingsway Arms, assisted living and memory care at Kingsway Manor, plus independent living, home care, respite, and adult day, so your day can span med-surg-style skilled care, care-plan oversight, or memory support depending on the unit.

Employer research, Jul 28, 2026

  1. Kingsway Arms holds a CMS 4-star overall rating and landed in U.S. News’s top ten percent nationally for long-term care in 2025, so your skilled nursing work sits inside a recognized quality bar.

The hard parts

What to ask

  • How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
  • Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
  • How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
  • What does a usual day’s workload look like?
  • Which requirements must I meet before applying, and which can wait until after hire?
