In this specialty, every shift is an opportunity to partner with families, collaborate with a compassionate care team, and elevate everyday living for seniors who deserve respect, independence, and a sense of security. This opportunity places you in Lewiston, Maine, starting February 9, 2026, for a rewarding travel assignment spanning several weeks with room for thoughtful extension based on need and your professional goals. Picture the impact you can make as you guide care plans, monitor vitals, manage routine treatments, and provide reassurance to residents as they navigate daily life. Beyond the bedside, you’ll grow your skills through exposure to diverse cases within long-term care, sharpening assessment abilities, medication administration under supervision, infection prevention, and documentation accuracy that supports quality outcomes. And separately, you’ll have the chance to savor Maine’s beauty: the serene Kennebec River, the charms of Lewiston and Auburn, vibrant autumn foliage, close-knit communities, and easy access to outdoor adventures that refresh you after meaningful days at work. Lewiston, Maine offers a compelling home base for healthcare professionals who value community connection, workable time for personal interests, and a balanced pace that still delivers meaningful clinical challenges.

Your responsibilities include direct patient care such as assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration within scope, wound care, monitoring of chronic conditions, and careful documentation to ensure accurate care planning. You’ll contribute to care coordination, communicate changes in patient status to the interdisciplinary team, and participate in care conferences that shape individualized plans. The position emphasizes growth within the long-term care specialty—opportunities to expand knowledge in geriatric assessment, palliative considerations, and rehabilitation support—as you develop leadership through mentor-guided experiences and ongoing education. You’ll join a culture that values proactive problem-solving, patient advocacy, and consistent, compassionate communication. Competitive benefits accompany the role, including a sign-on incentive, housing assistance to ease transitions, and the chance to extend your assignment if you wish to deepen your impact.
