This role requires a hands-on operator capable of effectively dividing time between both buildings to ensure uniform standards of care and maximum occupancy. Expectations & Accountability This position requires a high degree of operational ownership. Because you will be managing a split 37-bed footprint across two separate facilities, strong organizational skills, self-direction, and multi-site coordination are critical. We hold our administrators to precise performance metrics regarding state audits, staffing stability, budget management, and census targets. This is not a passive oversight role. If you struggle with multi-location logistics, fluid schedules, or direct accountability for compliance and occupancy outcomes, this will not be a good fit. However, if you excel at building reliable operational systems, maintaining strict regulatory compliance, and driving community growth, this role offers significant professional autonomy.
