The nurse will provide direction to non-licensed personnel in providing direct client care and operation of the unit. Our Skilled Nursing Facility is just minutes from the freeway, conveniently located by many shops and restaurants. As Neuro-behavioral campus we are less medically acute and as such there are great opportunities for clients. For example, Crestwood Wellness & Recovery Center has adopted the city park next to our building. Our clients actively pursue their gardening skills and creative beautification inspirations by maintaining and adding to the garden beds created on Earth Day 2009. The efforts have created a space for quiet and serenity as well. Weather permitting, staff often take clients to the park for group therapy, meditation, and yoga. It’s About Growth! Our employees are our most valuable assets. Did you know that at Crestwood you can gain experience at one of California’s leading behavioral health service providers?
