A little more about our center:

Frankfort Terrace is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF), providing care to the mentally ill/behavior health population (schizophrenic, bipolar, major depression…).  Located in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful grounds, trees and flowers – you can ride your bike to work.  What makes us unique:

• Highly ranked Quality Measures – this means we provide excellent clinical care!
• Consistently high patient satisfaction rating and feedback – our residents love us!
• Agency Free and our DON has been with us since 2016!
• We offer on-site Physical & Occupational Therapy (unique for an ICF)
• This is not a SNF - Our patients are active and eager to connect with you. Stop by the game room and play a little basketball, air hockey or arcade games with them. They can’t wait to meet you.

The National Association of Rehab Providers & Agencies (NARA) awarded Transitional Care Management their “Impact Award” for 2023 for our Life Skills Programming.  This center is using that very same “Life Skills Program” and changing lives every day.  Ask us about it during your interview – we’d be delighted to share our Social Services success stories.  It’s so much more than what your current Psych/Social team is doing now!

What you will do in this role: The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services Coordinator (PRSC) provides group and individual psychiatric rehabilitative and case management services to adults with a history of multiple psychiatric hospitalizations and in need of long-term care stabilization.  You will participate with the interdisciplinary teams in developing and implementing therapeutic services and interventions.

What’s in it for you: 

• A manageable workload (Plus – there is not a lot of lifting)
• Annual summer BBQ grilling on the patio, or go outside and take a walk on your break …
• Flexible scheduling – we understand when things come up
• A team that takes pride in their center – they have the cleanest floors you’ll ever see.
• Employee recognition programs
• Annual merit increase opportunities
• Robust benefits package, including a retirement savings plan
• Refer-a-Friend programs – Bring your friends & earn a $ bonus $.
• Educational Assistance program – We’ll help you $ pay $ for your classes.

Donna, our employee of 35 years, says “I love my work-family!  We work well together, help one another and have fun while we’re here.”
