Ready to take the next step in long‑term care leadership?

We are looking for a motivated, hands‑on Assistant Administrator to join our leadership team and help drive the day‑to‑day operations of our skilled nursing facility.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands senior care, enjoys solving problems, and wants to grow into a strong operational leader. You’ll work closely with the Administrator and department leaders while gaining experience in virtually every aspect of facility operations.

What You’ll Do

• Support the Administrator with daily facility operations and leadership

• Participate in daily stand‑up, operational meetings, and facility rounding

• Help ensure residents receive exceptional care and customer service

• Support survey readiness, regulatory compliance, and follow‑up activities

• Work with Nursing, Social Services, Admissions, Dietary, Environmental Services, Therapy, HR, and Business Office teams

• Assist with staffing, recruitment, retention, and employee engagement initiatives

• Follow up on operational concerns and ensure issues are brought through to resolution

• Assist with census growth, admissions, and community relationships

• Review key operational metrics and help develop action plans when improvement is needed

• Support QAPI and performance‑improvement initiatives

• Help maintain a positive, accountable, team‑focused culture

• Serve as a visible leadership presence for residents, families, and employees

Who We’re Looking For

We want someone who is:

• Comfortable taking ownership and making decisions

• A strong communicator who can work effectively with multiple departments

• Able to prioritize in a fast‑moving healthcare environment

If you are someone who sees a problem and thinks “How can I help fix it?” instead of waiting for someone else to take care of it, we would love to meet you.
