Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and other job candidates can meet staff and explore openings at the Livingston County Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation during an employment open house Nov. 19 in Mount Morris.
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 11 Murray Hill Drive, according to a Livingston County news release. Recruitment specialist Marianne Miller will explain available positions and their responsibilities at the 266-bed facility.
Candidates can ask questions, see the center firsthand and talk with current employees about working there. The center provides 24-hour skilled nursing care, including short-term, post-acute rehabilitation and traditional long-term care.
Nursing roles and benefits
The center has six units, called neighborhoods, each with an RN manager who works from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Each manager oversees a team that includes a social worker, activities aide, medical typist and LPNs caring for up to 48 residents.
Other RN roles include building supervisors, employee health and staff education. Miller said the range of assignments gives nurses opportunities to work in their areas of interest.
Several LPN openings are on the evening shift, from 2 to 10 p.m. Miller said pay scales with experience and described the rates as competitive with other employers in the region.
The unionized positions come with guaranteed annual raises, Miller said. County benefits include free dental care, health insurance, paid sick leave, paid time off and New York State retirement.
Paid CNA training planned for 2027
The center plans paid certified nursing assistant certification classes in early 2027, combining classroom instruction with hands-on experience in its neighborhoods. The county said salaries and benefits also extend to CNAs training under Haylee Reynolds.
Reynolds has worked at the center for 17 years, advancing from CNA to LPN and then earning her RN license. She said the union and center administration supported her while she worked full time and attended college.
“While I was an LPN, the union was able to negotiate memorandums of agreement so I could go to classes for my RN and work a consistent full-time schedule on the night shift. I was also able to keep my seniority of 17 years toward retirement,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds later moved into the CNA trainer role when it opened, an area she said she had wanted to pursue.
Staff also help create a home-like setting by decorating neighborhoods and encouraging residents to visit friends on other floors. Activities at the center involve family, friends, volunteers and pets.
