The opportunity

You’re the clinical heart of the community.

As Director of Health and Wellness, you hold primary responsibility for the health, safety, and wellbeing of every resident across Assisted Living and Memory Care. You’ll deliver person-centered care, keep clinical standards high, and serve as the connective hub between residents, families, physicians, and the care team.

This isn’t a desk job overseeing staff. You’ll work alongside Med Technicians and Care Partners as their coach and educator, growing their skills, making sure care plans are understood and carried out with excellence, and keeping everyone informed when a resident’s needs change.

What you’ll do

Six ways you’ll make an impact

Shape personalized care

Assess every new resident at admission and quarterly after, then build individualized service plans around their needs, preferences, and goals.

Coach a standout care team

Be the go-to clinical mentor for Med Techs and Care Partners through hands-on coaching, real-time feedback, and training that builds confidence.

Keep everyone connected

Lead communication on changes in condition and care level with families, physicians, your Executive Director, and outside partners like hospice and home health.

Own medication excellence

Oversee accurate medication administration, MAR integrity, pharmacy coordination, and controlled substance processes.

Make move-ins seamless

Guide new residents from pre-admission assessment through move-in day and their 30-day review, so they feel settled from day one.

Champion quality and safety

Keep the community survey-ready, drive continuous quality improvement, and lead care for high-risk and memory care residents.

What you bring

Licensed or Registered Nurse in good standing, with required state licensure

Associate or Bachelor's Degree in Nursing strongly preferred (LPN/LVN considered based on state regulations)

3+ years in Assisted Living, Alzheimer's, or Memory Care preferred

Experience as a Residential Care Manager, Clinical Director, or in risk management a plus

Comfortable with electronic health records, Microsoft Word, and Excel
