Careers At Walter

The Power of People Helping People

At Walter Lawson Children’s Home, we believe that each and every employee is a pivotal part of our mission to provide the best senior living experience in the area. Our talented team members are the driving force behind everything we have to offer.

The Story of Walter Lawson Children’s Home

In 1988, two old friends and business colleagues, Dr. Bruce Hutson and Lewis Wood came together to form a non-profit organization to save four communities from bankruptcy. Thus what today is known as HutsonWood was formed. Since that time the organization has grown to now include eight nursing and assisted living communities located in Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee along with 14 affordable housing communities located across the southeast.

Having a mission of serving the healthcare and shelter needs of our local communities in a compassionate and respectful manner, HutsonWood is always looking for talented individuals who are not just looking for a job but for a home where they can truly make a difference in the world. We consider ourselves one big work family and hope that you would also like to become one of our family members providing compassionate care to those we serve.

Current Employee

As a PROUD employee at Swann Special Care Center for almost 20 years, I can TRULY say it is a GREAT place to work. The residents are remarkable, and the staff is very compassionate and caring. The love and care that the residents receive cannot be compared. The management team follows the same compassionate and caring trend for us as employees. Appreciation and gratitude are always expressed from management to staff for all their hard work. At times, things can be challenging, and when this occurs, our bond as a team (staff and management) becomes the strongest. I am very FORTUNATE and GRATEFUL to be a part of an exceptional organization.
