Whether you are an experienced post-acute nurse, coming from a hospital or another clinical setting, or looking to build your skilled nursing experience, Elderwood at Cheektowaga offers an opportunity to remain clinically engaged while making a visible difference in recovery, comfort, safety, and quality of life.

Potential earnings of up to $48.00 per hour, based on experience and including applicable shift differentials.

Elderwood at Cheektowaga is a 172-bed skilled nursing community providing long-term care, memory care, and comprehensive subacute rehabilitation.

Our clinical teams care for individuals recovering from illness, injury, surgery, orthopedic procedures, and cardiac conditions. Facility capabilities include:

• IV therapy
• PICC-line management
• Wound-vac therapy
• Complex wound care

Depending on your assignment, resident needs, physician orders, and demonstrated competencies, you may care for patients receiving these treatments while managing medications, completing assessments, monitoring clinical progress, coordinating services, and preparing patients for a safe transition to their next level of care.

For RNs who enjoy med-surg-style clinical variety but also value continuity, teamwork, and meaningful patient relationships, this is an engaging post-acute nursing environment.

Registered Nurses at Elderwood have meaningful clinical responsibility - but they are not expected to practice without support.
