Assist with caregiver scheduling, call-out coverage coordination, and shift replacements in partnership with administration. Participate in onboarding, orientation, performance feedback, and corrective coaching for staff. Promote a respectful, reliable, and team-oriented work environment. Resident and Family Experience Maintain a resident-centered environment that protects dignity, comfort, safety, independence, and quality of life. Serve as a primary operational point of contact for routine family questions, concerns, updates, and non-clinical communication. Escalate clinical concerns, medication questions, significant changes in condition, behavioral concerns, falls, injuries, or emergencies to the RN and Administrator promptly. Help coordinate appointments, transportation, supplies, personal items, and routine resident needs. Support resident activities, engagement, celebrations, and a positive home culture. Documentation, Compliance, and Quality Control Ensure required non-clinical operational documentation is organized, current, and accessible. Monitor staff compliance with facility policies, safety procedures, emergency procedures, infection-control expectations, and documentation standards. Assist the RN and Administrator with preparation for inspections, audits, incident follow-up, corrective action plans, and quality-improvement initiatives. Ensure resident files, employee files, communication logs, supply records, maintenance logs, and house records are maintained according to company procedures. Report compliance risks, safety concerns, staffing gaps, or operational deficiencies immediately. Communication and Escalation Provide regular updates to the Administrator regarding staffing, resident concerns, family issues, maintenance needs, supply needs, and operational priorities. Coordinate closely with the RN on clinical concerns while respecting the RN's authority over nursing, medication management, assessments, care plans, delegation, and clinical training. Communicate professionally with families, hospice agencies, home health agencies, physicians' offices, pharmacies, vendors, and other service providers as directed. Participate in staff meetings, care conferences, family meetings, and operational meetings when needed.

Understanding of dementia care, aging services, caregiving, assisted living operations, or resident safety is preferred but not required for the right candidate. Must be able to pass required background checks and meet all applicable Texas assisted living employment requirements. Reliable transportation and ability to regularly be present at the facility are required. Schedule and Work Environment This is a flexible, salaried role with a hybrid structure.

This role may require reasonable availability by phone for urgent operational issues, staffing needs, or resident concerns.
