About this position

Lead your own community. Own the results. Add LIFE to the years of the people you serve.

At VitaCare Living - Ladysmith, the RN Administrator runs the community the way a CEO runs a business.

Our mission is to add LIFE to the years of our residents and staff, built on three promises: Community, Freedom, Dignity, and Purpose. We don’t aim for minimum compliance. We want residents living their best possible lives, a workplace where great people want to stay, and surveyors who leave as raving fans.
