Battle Creek, MI, US

3 days ago Requisition ID: 1267

Full-Time | Clinical Leadership

Know the standard. Build a clinical operation you can be proud of.

NorthPointe Woods, a Cardinal Senior Living community in Battle Creek, is looking for a Director of Wellness who takes clinical excellence personally.

We want someone who knows what good looks like, notices when something is off, asks the next question, and does not need to be reminded to follow through.

This role is for a clinical leader who wants real ownership of resident care, clinical systems, documentation, medication management, team capability, and regulatory readiness.

You will have the autonomy to use your expertise, the responsibility to build strong systems, and the expectation that your department operates with consistency and discipline.

You’ll probably love this role if you like to:

Know exactly what is happening with your residents, not just what the chart says

Solve problems thoroughly instead of applying temporary fixes

Create systems that make excellent care repeatable

Set clear clinical standards and hold people to them

Dig into documentation, medication practices, assessments, and care plans until the details are right

Teach people the why, not simply tell them what to do

Work independently and use your professional judgment

Identify risk before it becomes an incident

Improve processes when the existing process does not make sense

Be respected for your expertise and trusted to own your department

What You’ll Own

As Director of Wellness, you are the clinical leader of NorthPointe Woods.

You’ll own:

Resident assessments and individualized care planning

Changes in condition and appropriate clinical follow-through

Medication management and medication-administration standards

Clinical documentation and record accuracy

Admissions, transitions of care, and level-of-care decisions

Infection prevention and resident safety

Regulatory readiness and clinical compliance

Resident and family clinical communication

Clinical staffing, onboarding, training, and competency

Development and accountability of nurses, Med Techs, and care staff

Coordination with physicians, pharmacies, home health, hospice, and other providers

Identification and correction of recurring clinical or process gaps

The expectation is not simply that problems get handled.

The expectation is that you understand why they happened and strengthen the system so they are less likely to happen again.

Build a Team That Can Execute

You should not have to personally solve every problem forever.

A strong Director of Wellness builds a team that understands the standard and can execute it consistently.

You’ll coach through observation, documentation, clinical judgment, and results. You’ll recognize strong performance, address gaps directly, and make sure employees understand both the task and the reason behind it.

We want a clinical leader who creates capability, not dependency.

Clinical Leadership + Operations

Great resident care does not happen in isolation.

You’ll partner closely with the Executive Director and community leadership to connect clinical performance with:

Staffing and labor

Family experience

Admissions and occupancy

Risk and compliance

Employee performance

Overall community execution

You will be expected to bring clinical facts, sound judgment, and clear recommendations to the table.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with clinical depth, strong judgment, and a high personal standard.

Ideally, you bring:

Active LPN or RN license

Senior living, assisted living, long-term care, or comparable clinical experience

Previous clinical leadership experience

Strong knowledge of assessments, care planning, medication management, documentation, and resident-care practices

Experience coaching and developing nursing or care teams

Strong regulatory and compliance awareness

Excellent organization and follow-through

Confidence making decisions within your scope and escalating appropriately when needed

The ability to communicate clearly with residents, families, employees, providers, and leadership

Experience as a Director of Wellness, Director of Nursing, Wellness Director, Clinical Manager, or similar clinical leader is strongly preferred.

At Cardinal Senior Living, our mission is to provide dignity, safety and care to our elderly residents.

At NorthPointe Woods, the Director of Wellness plays a critical role in making that mission real every day.

For this role, clinical excellence comes down to execution.

Are the assessments right?

Are the medications right?

Are the care plans right?

Does the team understand the standard?

Are problems being caught early?

Are residents receiving the care we said they would receive?

We want a clinical leader who takes pride in being able to answer yes.

If you are the kind of nurse who likes to understand the details, build better systems, raise standards, develop capable people, and own the quality of care in your community, this may be exactly the role you’ve been looking for.
