All Registered Nurses are Class B nurse managers, in a leadership role. Our other departments including housekeeping, maintenance and dietary staff also earn competitive wages and benefits packages.
Work Environment
New Brunswick nursing homes provide care to individuals with complex care needs, including the frail elderly and those living with dementia. Nursing homes provide around the clock care delivered by a team of healthcare and other professionals, with 24/7 access to a Registered Nurse. Our homes offer a flexible, shift work rotation, including days, nights, weekends and holidays.
Approach to Care
New Brunswick nursing homes have a person-centered approach to care. Family members are encouraged to play an active role in their loved one’s care plan and our staff build meaningful relationships with residents and their families. Our homes offer a holistic approach to care and daily life in the nursing home to ensure the physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of residents. Our care teams include activity directors, rehabilitation coordinators, and more!
Innovation
New Brunswick nursing home staff use some of the most advanced equipment and technology in the industry, including the interRAI LTCF resident assessment system, mechanical lifts and other assistive aids, and electronic medication administration. A comprehensive safety program, e-learning platforms for ongoing education, and one of the highest professional staff ratios in the country promotes staff safety and ensures our residents receive high quality care.
Community
All nursing homes in New Brunswick are privately owned and operated organizations that are deeply rooted in their communities. The majority of our homes are run by local Boards of Directors and maintain strong community connections. Our homes welcome many volunteers, host events throughout the year, and actively engage with local organizations and institutions, including students from grade schools, colleges and universities. Each home offers a unique atmosphere that reflects the local culture.
