Licensed Social Worker

"At Crane’s Mill we feel like a part of this big family, co workers treat each other with respect. I look forward to going to work and taking care of my patients.. it’s a home away from home."

"People are very friendly to get along with."

"Warm and inviting "

"What makes it a great place to work at is the team, a core group of good people makes all the difference. A team that has good intentions for one and all. And is willing to go the extra mile that makes all the difference. Examples if there is an emergency ( Power outage, loss of water), all hands are on deck willing to help. If we’re hosting an event for the residents everyone chips in to make it a success."

Those are real statements from real employees at Crane’s Mill.

We hope you feel the same way once you experience what it is like to work here.....
