Discover the Possibilities of a Career with Us

Kirkwood by the River is a faith-based continuing care retirement community (CCRC), established in 1980 as a ministry of Independent Presbyterian Church.  We strive to provide a Christian community of caring individuals dedicated to outstanding care and services in which older adults can enjoy the pleasure of living with dignity in safety and comfort, and where their personal, spiritual and social needs can be met.

 

Our Commitment

Because we are a Christian organization, our desire is to fully embrace a diverse community as God designed. For this reason, we intentionally strive to assure a diverse community that welcomes and values people with different backgrounds and viewpoints. We are committed to supporting awareness, understanding, and appreciation of differences in the workplace and community. This commitment will enable each person to perform to his/her full potential.
