Licensed Practical Nurse

Ontario Center, a specialized healthcare and rehabilitation provider in Ontario, NY, is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team. In this role, you will play a key part in delivering high-quality, person-centered care to a diverse population of residents and patients, many with complex medical and rehabilitation needs. Working under the direction of a Registered Nurse and in collaboration with an interdisciplinary care team, you will help ensure that each individual’s care plan is followed, monitored, and continuously optimized.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse at Ontario Center, you will provide direct bedside care, administer medications and treatments, and closely monitor residents’ conditions. You will perform tasks such as obtaining and documenting vital signs, assisting with wound care and dressing changes, supporting respiratory and tracheostomy care as appropriate, and ensuring accurate, timely documentation in the electronic medical record. You will play an important role in observing changes in condition, communicating concerns to the RN and providers, and helping to coordinate appropriate interventions that support safe and effective care.

Our culture emphasizes person-centered care, excellence in healthcare, and integrity in everything we do. You will be expected to uphold high standards of professionalism, safety, and compliance while fostering a respectful and supportive environment for residents, families, and colleagues. This includes actively participating in infection prevention practices, fall prevention, and other safety initiatives, as well as adhering to all applicable regulations and facility policies. Attention to detail, sound clinical judgment, and strong communication skills are essential to success in this position.

In this dynamic, on-site clinical environment, you will work closely with nurses, physicians, therapists, and nursing assistants to coordinate care and support individualized rehabilitation and long-term care goals. You will provide resident and family education on medications, treatment plans, and daily care routines, helping them better understand health conditions and participate in decision-making. You may assist with admissions, transfers, and discharges, contributing to smooth transitions of care and a positive experience for residents and their families.

Ontario Center is committed to creating opportunities for professional growth in patient care. As an LPN, you will have access to ongoing training, in-service education, and exposure to a wide range of clinical situations that support the development of your skills. You will be encouraged to participate in quality improvement activities, audits, and team meetings that enhance the quality, safety, and consistency of care delivered across the facility. Your input as a front-line clinician will be valued in shaping best practices and driving improvements.

This position is best suited for a Licensed Practical Nurse who is compassionate, reliable, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced healthcare setting. Strong time management and prioritization skills are necessary, as you will manage multiple residents, medications, and treatments during each shift. You should be confident in your ability to communicate clearly with residents, families, and the interdisciplinary team, and to maintain professionalism even in challenging situations.

Candidates must hold an active, unencumbered LPN license in the state of New York and current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. Experience in long-term care, subacute rehab, or a similar healthcare and medical services environment is preferred, though dedicated new graduates with solid clinical training will also be considered. By joining Ontario Center, you will become part of a mission-driven organization that values integrity, compliance, and a strong commitment to high standards of service while providing meaningful, hands-on care to those who need it most.
