INTRODUCTION

The Davis Community is a vibrant senior living neighborhood and has been a proud corporate citizen of Wilmington, NC for over 60 years. Established as a skilled nursing facility in the early 1960s, Davis quickly became the premier healthcare center for senior care, and while they have grown and evolved, adding to services offered, we continue to be highly regarded in the region as a community that emphasizes compassion, care, and show of respect and dignity for residents.

COMMUNITY CULTURE

At The Davis Community, deliberate and diligent efforts are made to emphasize and focus on an underlying culture of respect and service that can be seen and felt by all. Employees, residents, and guests of the community are treated with respect and personalized care to the best of the organization’s ability. The desire to continue to elevate all aspects of services is preeminent so that Davis can provide an empowering and caring retirement atmosphere filled with friends, enjoyment, and a fulfilling sense of community. Our Leading advantages include:

• State-of-the-art Facilities
• On-demand Pay
• Benefits begin after 30 days
• Low-cost lunches
• Free Membership to our gym and indoor pool
• Shift differential
• Work-life Balance
• Growth
• Competitive Wages

We spend about 2,000 hours per year at work. Why not make that time matter! For us, ‘work that matters’ is less about what you do, and more about how you do it.

The Davis Community requires that all current and new employees, including contract staff, receive an annual influenza vaccination and TB skin test unless a reasonable or disability accommodation is granted.

We are looking for caring and dedicated nurses to join our team and contribute to our unique Household Model of care. We offer a resident-focused philosophy and culture that blends into everything we do. Our vision is based on the belief that seniors needing care deserve privacy and choice in their lives which creates a home environment where residents and staff operate as a family, rather than in a hospital-like institution. Our low patient ratios allow our Nurses to enhance the quality of services while creating a warm household where residents feel at home.
