United Helpers Rehabilitation and Senior Care in Ogdensburg Working to Relocate Residents, Staff; Still Hiring Across Organization

OGDENSBURG - United Helpers Rehabilitation and Senior Care in Ogdensburg has been working with residents, resident representatives and staff on the pending closure of the facility.   

Progress has been made with the placement of residents and staff as we work our way through the closure process. The current resident census is 89. No residents are being relocated outside of the North Country, and the facility is actively securing alternate placement and care according to their individualized preferences.

United Helpers has offered work for all direct care staff affected by the closure at other locations throughout the United Helpers organization. The Human Resources department is assisting staff with a training and a transition plan as the census declines in the Ogdensburg skilled nursing facility.

In addition to retaining our valuable staff, there are other opportunities for direct care and increased pay incentives. United Helpers has work available throughout St. Lawrence County allowing employment close to home in a team-oriented environment. Opportunities are still available in the areas of home health, skilled nursing, assisted living, housing and the developmental and intellectually disabled population.
