When someone becomes a patient here, each of us becomes their partner on their journey to healthy living. No matter the illness, injury or limitation.

Join us and make a connection of your own.  Join us and make a difference in someone’s life.

A little more about our center:

West Chicago Terrace is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) with 120 beds, proudly serving the behavioral/psych population.  We are in a quiet residential area, across the street from an elementary school and easy to commute to.  A few key highlights:

• Highly ranked Quality Measures – this means we provide excellent clinical care!
• The average age of our patients is 35-55 and the most common diagnoses are schizophrenia, bi-polar and major depressive disorders.
• Our residents have created a garden club, a poetry club and are eager to interact with you.  Many of them return to the community (or home) after residing with us.
• We welcome new grads and work with students from multiple schools/universities in the area.
  • Our nurse orientation program is extensive – let us teach you.
• Our team gets excited about casual Fridays and fun events like ‘ugly sweater days’.  Come join us.

The National Association of Rehab Providers & Agencies (NARA) awarded Transitional Care Management their “Impact Award” for 2023 for our Life Skills Programming.  This center is using that very same “Life Skills Program” and changing lives every day.  Ask us about it during your interview – we’d be delighted to share our Social Services success stories.  It’s so much more than what your current Psych/Social team is doing now!

This is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF).  Residents do NOT require skilled care; your job is a little different here:

• Residents are more independent
• LOVE patient interaction and one-on-one time?  This is a slower paced center so you get to know your patients.
• This environment has less lifting and less physical demands on your body.
• You will have the chance to assist and attend activity outings with residents.
• You may help residents with things like choosing clothing or setting appointments.
• Overall you will provide compassionate care monitoring to this unique population.

What’s in it for you: 

• Casual Fridays & manageable workload – no wound care or IVs, most can transfer themselves (not a lot of lifting) & we have a great falls prevention program
• Nurse daily tasks:  med pass, assessments, admissions & supervision of C.N.A.’s
• Low medical rehospitalization rates
• Flexible scheduling with rotating weekends
• Employee recognition program
• Annual merit increase opportunities
• Refer-a-Friend programs – Bring your friends & earn a $ bonus $.
• Educational Assistance program – We’ll help you $ pay $ for your classes.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA): officially we title this job a Certified Nursing Assistant, but in other centers it may be called a CNA or Certified Nurse Aide.

What we need from you:

• Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification in IL
• Prior experience or desire to work with behavioral population would be helpful
• New Grads Welcome to apply!

If you are looking for an opportunity that provides satisfaction and personal growth, we encourage you to apply.  Join us and be the reason someone smiles today.
