Nurse Supervisor / Facility Supervisor - 2nd Shift

HealthBridge Management has 15 locations in Massachusetts offering Long Term Care, Neuro-rehabilitation, Sub-Acute Services, Alzheimer/Dementia Programs and Behavioral Health.

HealthBridge is currently seeking a Nurse Supervisor for our New Bedford, Massachusetts facility, a 154-bed skilled nursing facility. New Bedford Health Care Center is a 154 bed skilled nursing facility located in the quiet suburbs. Our employees enjoy plenty of free parking and excellent working conditions. Our patients enjoy air conditioned semi-private and private accommodations. All rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and plenty of space to administer care. We offer employees a variety of nursing experiences to match their skill level ranging from wound care and specialty dressings, orthopedic care and rehab, diabetic management and teaching, specialty beds, restorative nursing, I.V. management, pain management, CAD Pumps and hospice care.

We are currently in the process of bringing to the facility a new concept in patient care called Telemedicine. Telemedicine is a system of delivering care at the bedside through the use of video conferencing. This new technology gives the nurse instant access to a physician and allows us to address acute patient needs immediately without having to wait for a doctor to return our call. We are the first skilled nursing facility in the country to incorporate this new medical model. Employees are provided with additional education to meet this exciting new patient/medical concept and are offered personalized orientation.

At the New Bedford Health Care Center, the resident is our primary focus and positive outcomes are the main goal. We believe in fostering an open collaborative and communicative environment to meet staff, resident and family needs. Our facility mission is to be a Center of Excellence, employing those committed to innovative quality care. If these principles sound like a match to you, we’d like to invite you to become a member of our staff.
