GuideStar Eldercare is offering a multi-dimensional, outpatient geriatric psychology post-doctoral fellowship in which Fellows (PhD / PsyD) will work alongside licensed psychologists in providing on-location behavioral health and neuro-cognitive services to residents of long term care facilities.

This is a unique opportunity to work with an atypical geropsychiatric population as the majority of our patients are diagnosed with Major Neurocognitive Disorder due to all types of dementia etiologies. Fellows will rotate between and through a wide range of care settings, including:

- Assisted Living

- Skilled Short-Term Rehabilitation

- Long-Term Skilled Nursing

- Secure Dementia/Memory Care units specifically dedicated to residents with late stage dementia.
