Treatment and discharge planning focuses on helping patients remain in the most independent living environment possible after discharge. Patients admitted to this unit are typically 55 years of age or older, although patients under 55 may be admitted if they are in need of acute psychiatric treatment and have medical complications that may prohibit them from being admitted to the Adult Mental Health Unit or MICA Unit.

  • Current NYS Registered Nurse (RN) license
  • Bachelor's degree in nursing or ability to obtain in 5 years from start date
  • BLS
  • Minimum of one year of experience in nursing as a Registered Nurse (RN)
