Life with the
Newbrook Group

Working in a Newbrook Group nursing home is an extraordinary experience in that you’ll be a member of the care team collectively taking care of your residents. Everyone works together to provide the best care for the residents. And because these are long-term care residents, you’ll get to know them and their conditions much better than in other types of care positions.

You’ll play an essential role within an interdisciplinary team, that includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, case management, and more. Together you’ll work on forming care plans for your residents that will, in turn, give them the best quality of life possible.

And if you’re worried that nursing homes aren’t active and lively enough for you think again. Every day is different. Every day is rewarding. And every day you make a real difference
