About The Position

Eddy Village Green Cohoes is hiring for Full-time Overnight LPNs, 7p-7a 3x a week! This is a 192 bed skilled nursing facility providing care in a non-traditional way through 16 twelve-bed houses. Greenhouse is a pioneering effort in long-term care bringing control back to the elders that live in the houses by honoring their lifelong routines and preferences. In addition to the culture change in care delivery there is also a relationship shift between nurses and the C.N.A's that manage the individual houses. Central to The Green House Project's mission is the development of Green House homes—small-scale, self-contained, and self-sufficient nursing home and assisted living settings that put elders at the center. Each home includes private rooms and bathrooms for each elder, a living room with a fireplace, and outdoor spaces that are easy to access and navigate.
