More about Westchester Village

The skilled-nursing side is described as a small unit with a high ratio of nurse managers to residents, so your day stays close to the people you are caring for rather than disappearing into a huge tower. LPN schedules are generally 12-hour shifts—days 6am to 6:30pm or nights 6pm to 6:30am—with full-time starting at 30+ hours, plus part-time and PRN paths. Postings mention shift differentials, holiday premium pay, referral bonuses, and service awards. Full-time benefits listed include health, dental, and vision with company cost share, a company-paid EAP that covers family counseling, 401(k) match, PTO, and volunteer time off. Tuition assistance, certification course payment, and career-path development are also on the table. The community earned the 2025 AHCA/NCAL Bronze National Quality Award and has been recognized on the U.S. News Best Nursing Home list. Glassdoor shows a 4.4 overall from two reviews, both willing to recommend the place. One honest friction: staff still buy a meal ticket for cafeteria food.

Mission to enrich residents' lives through purpose, passion, and joy, with emphasis on a fun, engaging team environment.
