The company’s new Elderwood Staffing Solutions will build a pool of on-call substitutes who will go through the company’s regular hiring and orientation process By Tracey Drury  – Reporter, Buffalo Business First Elderwood has launched a new staffing division to help identify and recruit nurses and other clinical care professionals for per diem work. The company’s new Elderwood Staffing Solutions will build a pool of on-call substitutes who will go through the company’s regular hiring and orientation process, allowing facilities to more quickly address staffing gaps with caregivers already familiar with its culture and protocols. Based at the company’s downtown Buffalo administrative offices, the division will recruit registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants and home health aides in both Western New York and the Syracuse area to start, with a goal of reaching other parts of the state where it owns or is in the midst of acquiring nursing homes and assisted living sites.

BUFFALO, NY – Elderwood has introduced Elderwood Staffing Solutions to its talent acquisition program to help maintain consistent staffing and continuous quality care.

Working on an as-needed basis, or "per diem," is common in the health care field.

Elderwood Staffing Solutions enables quick response to staffing situations at any of Elderwood’s skilled and assisted living communities in western and central New York. Per diem workers aren’t "attached" to one building, but can be placed wherever there is a need, although geographic preferences are considered. Schedules of eight or...
