What You'll Do

• Oversee all day-to-day operations of the skilled nursing facility
• Lead department heads and build a stable, accountable leadership team

• Foster a positive culture for staff, residents, and families

Qualifications

• Active Ohio LNHA (Licensed Nursing Home Administrator) license — required
• Prior experience as a Nursing Home Administrator in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) / long-term care (LTC) setting — required
