About Helen Porter Rehabilitation & Nursing
Helen Porter Rehabilitation & Nursing is a warm, secure, and compassionate community located in the peaceful town of Middlebury, Vermont. Newly renovated and designed to feel like home, our 98-bed residence offers high-quality skilled nursing care and personalized support with daily living. Licensed by the State of Vermont and certified by Medicare and Medicaid, we believe deeply in honoring each person's privacy, dignity, and individuality.
Residents and visitors enjoy bright, airy spaces with high ceilings and a beautiful outdoor courtyard featuring a tranquil water fountain, vibrant flowers, and charming pergolas. Inside, state-of-the-art circadian lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere that supports wellness and comfort throughout the day. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing, homelike setting where every individual can thrive.
About the Role
Join a team of Registered Nurses (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) that provides exceptional care in a place where people truly matter. We are currently seeking full-time RNs to join our dedicated staff. If you are interested in a part-time or per diem role, please note that a separate application process exists for those specific openings.
We offer three distinct units, each with a unique focus:
- Long-Term Care Unit: Building on over 30 years of high-quality care, this neighborhood provides dedicated support separate from our Memory Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation units. Residents receive skilled nursing care, daily living assistance, and individualized activities tailored to their abilities.
- Memory Care Unit: This unit provides specialized dementia care designed to meet residents' changing needs as cognitive symptoms progress. Through an early-stage, activity-based memory care program, we offer a safe, supportive, and home-like environment. Our neighborhood is staffed by compassionate, dementia-trained caregivers who advocate for and protect our most vulnerable residents.
- Post Acute Care Unit: The goal of this unit is to provide supportive, goal-directed care following surgery and/or hospitalization to prevent re-hospitalization and facilitate a quick transition home. We provide rehabilitation and nursing support for a wide range of conditions, including stroke recovery, neurological disorders, orthopedic needs, respiratory conditions, cardiac issues, and post-trauma care. Our nursing team extends therapeutic care between sessions by assisting with walking, exercises, and activity programs developed by our therapy staff.
On-call duties are not required for this position.
Our Culture and Team
Joining our team means becoming part of a workplace that truly invests in your success and well-being. We ensure our nurses are truly happy and feel valued, offering a team culture unlike what you'll find at other hospitals. Nurses truly have a voice here through our shared governance structure.
We are committed to great patient ratios and have made significant investments in safe patient handling and mobility equipment. We encourage professional growth and development through structured preceptorships and continuing education opportunities. Our goal is to ensure that every team member feels supported both personally and professionally.
