Who We Are
From its name “KAIGO” a Japanese word meaning caring to the highest standard, to its mission, vision and values, Kaigo has clearly established a foundation for developing a “partnership in caring”. Kaigo is dedicated to providing the best environments for our residents and our employees.
Creekside Landing is a unique campus of care that offers aging couples, seniors, and friends — whose individual care needs differ greatly — the ability to continue to live together in proximity. The campus provides a safe, supportive home and 24-hour nursing care for seniors who can no longer live independently, whether due to physical or cognitive issues.
We have expanded our Creekside Landing location in Vernon to include the newly constructed Osprey Court, located just a hop, skip and jump (literally!) over Vernon Creek. This new, state of the art, modern facility will be residence to 96 seniors, and we are looking for a dedicated, professional Clinical Coordinator to support the management team.
Reporting to the Managing Director, the Clinical Coordinator works collaboratively with internal and external partners to promote excellence in nursing practice and resident satisfaction.
