Assistant Manager — Assisted Living & Memory Care (30-bed, Sat - Wed)

Ridgeway Assisted Living and Memory Care is hiring an Assistant Manager to be the House Manager's leadership partner — running shifts, supporting staff, holding documentation standards, and making sure every resident receives consistent, dignified care. When you are on duty you are the acting building leader: you set the tone, make decisions within scope, and escalate when it matters. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is calm under pressure, organized, and proud of doing senior care the right way. You and the House Manager share 24/7 coverage on a rotating schedule, so neither of you carries the building alone. Schedule & Coverage

• Wednesday so coverage stays consistent and sustainable
• During your assigned blocks you lead shift command, staff direction, resident oversight, and escalation $100 move-in bonus when you complete a resident's move-in paperwork and they stay 30 days (split per move-in between House Manager and Assistant Manager — only one bonus per move-in) What You'll Do Shift Execution & Staff Direction
