Harmon House is a 109-bed Skilled Nursing Center that offers Specialty Care, Rehabilitation, and Nursing Care on a long or short-term basis. As our center continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to providing non-medical services—specifically, fun, engaging activities—becomes increasingly important. 

Restorative programs are a key piece of the centers experience, and the Restorative Nurse is an important part of this growing team. This RN will be responsible for coordinating the maintenance/restorative program for all residents, and will act as a liaison between all medical and non-medical departments.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Designing, monitoring and coordinating the maintenance and restorative program for all residents
• Administering restorative measures according to established care plans, policies and procedures
• Observing and assisting residents with eating/swallowing, feeding techniques and use of adaptive equipment
• Observing and assisting with applying splints/braces and position devices, as indicated by physicians or therapists
• Overseeing restorative dressing/grooming practices to help residents gain greater self-sufficiency
• Performing restorative ambulating, transfers and active/passive range of motion activities
• Providing monthly evaluations of residents momentum/decline and maintaining all required documentation of progress, as appropriate
• Additional restorative services, as required

The Restorative Nurse will also be expected to be the team lead for the center’s Fall and Restraint Committee, and serve on other panels/committees, as requested.

Applicants must be compassionate, knowledgeable and empathetic, with strong interpersonal skills. A current Pennsylvania RN license and previous resident care experience with specific restorative nursing care training are required, as is a high school diploma or GED.
