Licensed Practical Nurse – LPN Full Time

Creekside Landing is a unique campus of care that offers aging couples, seniors, and friends — whose individual care needs differ greatly — the ability to continue to live together in proximity. The campus provides a safe, supportive home and 24-hour nursing care for seniors who can no longer live independently, whether due to physical or cognitive issues.

We have expanded our Creekside Landing location to include the newly constructed Osprey Court, located just a hop, skip and jump (literally!) over Vernon Creek. This new, state of the art, modern facility will be residence to 96 seniors. We are looking for dedicated and passionate nurses to support residents in making choices that promote independence, enhance their lives, and enable them to age with dignity.
We have permanent full time, part time and casual shifts available for days, evenings and nights at Creekside Landing and Osprey Court.
