Elderwood partners with Trocaire College to advance nursing careers of current employees. Scholarship program provides both financial support and mentorship. Trocaire College in partnership with Elderwood, announced the launch of the Elderwood-Trocaire iCARE Career Pathway Scholarship. This initiative represents a $150,000 annual investment by Elderwood to support up to ten employees at a time as they pursue a practical nursing (LPN), registered nursing (RN), or bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) at Trocaire. "This new scholarship program is another opportunity for Trocaire and Elderwood to work together to help strengthen the local healthcare workforce," said Dr. Bassam Deeb, president, Trocaire College. "The demand for qualified nurses locally continues, and with Elderwood's commitment to investing in its employees, this program provides financial support, mentorship, and a clear path forward for those looking to advance in their healthcare careers." Beyond financial support, the partnership between Trocaire and Elderwood provides mentorship and guidance from experienced clinical and operational leaders, as well as helping the participants successfully navigate their education and transition into advanced nursing roles. Full-time and part-time academic program opportunities are available. Employees must continue working at least 15 hours per week while enrolled at Trocaire and commit to one-year of employment with Elderwood upon program completion. "We see this partnership as more than a scholarship, it's an investment in people who are already committed to caring for others," said Dr. Jeffrey Rubin, co-CEO of Post Acute Partners, owner of Elderwood. "When we support our employees in advancing their education and careers, we strengthen not only our workforce, but the communities we serve." Trocaire is currently working with the human resources team at Elderwood to enroll eligible employees for the Fall 2026 semester.
