Summary: The Peg Taylor Center, Butte County’s only provider of Adult Day Health Care, is seeking a Registered Nurse to join our interdisciplinary team and help us to continue our 35-year history of excellence. This is the perfect role for an energetic, compassionate RN who would like to make a difference in the lives of seniors and adults with disabilities.

Our Program: The Peg Taylor Center for Adult Day Health Care is a close-knit, uplifting weekday health and social services program that works to improve the well-being and quality of life of older adults, as well as younger adults with disabilities. Our model of support offers a uniquely positive opportunity for a caring RN to make a difference in the lives of adults in our community. The RN plays a vital role on the Peg Taylor Center’s Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), which also includes social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, therapeutic activity coordinators, and dieticians, as well as a consulting physician and pharmacist. With weekly IDT meetings and regular teamwork among staff, this role provides a unique opportunity to ensure that participants’ needs are truly being met.

The Peg Taylor Center’s RN assists participants and their families with the management of their health conditions and related needs. The goal of adult day health care is to enable seniors to live safely at home in the community setting of their choice, avoiding nursing home placement and maintaining greater independence. Program participants can enjoy a stimulating day at the Center with others, while receiving individualized care, activities and rehabilitation. This ensures that caregiving family members have respite and support. Our non-profit program has a distinguished 35-year history of improving health outcomes, ending isolation, and supporting local families.
