Elwyn California Vision Statement: Through partnerships with families, communities, and government, Elwyn California will be the provider of choice for people with diverse challenges.
Who We Serve Elwyn California Residential Programs: Elwyn California provides care for people with Developmental Disabilities and skilled nursing needs via a sophisticated, state of the art, alternative model of care.
People live in single-family homes, with individual bedrooms and all the typical “home-like” amenities, as opposed to having to live in larger congregate hospital-like settings.
Likewise, our employees enjoy a smaller, more personal and home-like working environment, as well as the opportunity to provide a very high level of quality care based upon the smaller number of residents (typically 4-5 per home) and the high staff to resident ratio.
What is a virtual interview?
Virtual interviews help employers connect with job seekers when they are not in the same physical location.
Since hiring is a human process, employers would like to talk with you online (chat, video or phone) to see if you meet the requirements for the job.
