Description

This recruitment is open until filled.

Bartlett Regional Hospital is searching for a MDS Coordinator to join our Wildflower Court team!

Wildflower Court is a long-term care facility located in beautiful Juneau, Alaska. Our care creates the conditions of a home rather than an institution. From the individual private rooms decorated with family photographs and mementos, to the friendliness of the recreation areas, Wildflower Court is a place the residents consider their own.

Out of the genuine caring concern that develops between staff and residents, nothing becomes more important than the physical well-being of the people who are within our care. Wildflower Court is a safe and secure place to live. We believe everyone deserves to enjoy life to the fullest.

Our goal is to enhance the freedom, privacy, and dignity of each resident.
