A Day in the Life of a Wellness Director:

As the community's lead nurse, you'll oversee resident assessments and service plans, manage medication administration, and train and develop a clinical team of 30-40 caregivers and nursing staff. You'll partner closely with an Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and work hand-in-hand with the Executive Director to make sure residents and their families feel genuinely cared for — not just clinically, but personally. This is a community known internally as "the innovators," where new programs are piloted before rolling out company-wide, so your work here has real impact beyond just one building.

Responsibilities include:

• Conducting resident assessments and developing individualized service plans
• Overseeing medication management and compliance across the community
• Training, developing, and leading a clinical team of Medication Technicians and caregiving staff
• Ensuring compliance with state and legal requirements for resident and family services
• Partnering with the ADON to manage day-to-day nursing operations
• Serving as a key point of contact for residents, families, physicians, and other healthcare professionals
• Participating in an on-call rotation (one week on/one week off), primarily handling phone-based triage for medication questions, falls, and end-of-life situations
• Stepping in hands-on as needed during rare emergencies

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Current CPR and First Aid certification
• 1+ years of recent experience in Skilled Nursing, Long-Term Care, or Assisted Living (Assisted Living background strongly preferred)
• Proven leadership experience managing and developing a clinical team
• A genuine passion for working with seniors
• Strong critical thinking skills and openness to new ideas and process improvement
• Excellent communication skills with residents, families, supervisors, and co-workers
• Valid documentation proving authorization to work in the U.S. and proof of identity

About the Hiring Company:

Our client is a senior living community built on a genuine "family" culture — they believe in serving residents like family, and it shows in how their leadership team operates day-to-day. With strong tenure across their management team and active growth plans (including new communities on the horizon), this is a company investing in its people for the long haul.
