3 days ago Requisition

We want someone who knows what good looks like, notices when something is off, asks the next question, and does not need to be reminded to follow through.

This role is for a clinical leader who wants real ownership of resident care, clinical systems, documentation, medication management, team capability, and regulatory readiness.

You will have the autonomy to use your expertise, the responsibility to build strong systems, and the expectation that your department operates with consistency and discipline.

Know exactly what is happening with your residents, not just what the chart says

Solve problems thoroughly instead of applying temporary fixes

Create systems that make excellent care repeatable

Set clear clinical standards and hold people to them

Dig into documentation, medication practices, assessments, and care plans until the details are right

Teach people the why, not simply tell them what to do

Work independently and use your professional judgment

Identify risk before it becomes an incident

Improve processes when the existing process does not make sense

Be respected for your expertise and trusted to own your department

As Director of Wellness, you are the clinical leader of NorthPointe Woods.

You’ll own:

Resident assessments and individualized care planning

Changes in condition and appropriate clinical follow-through

Medication management and medication-administration standards

Clinical documentation and record accuracy

Admissions, transitions of care, and level-of-care decisions

Infection prevention and resident safety

Regulatory readiness and clinical compliance

Resident and family clinical communication

Clinical staffing, onboarding, training, and competency

Development and accountability of nurses, Med Techs, and care staff

Coordination with physicians, pharmacies, home health, hospice, and other providers

Identification and correction of recurring clinical or process gaps

You should not have to personally solve every problem forever.

A strong Director of Wellness builds a team that understands the standard and can execute it consistently.

You’ll coach through observation, documentation, clinical judgment, and results. You’ll recognize strong performance, address gaps directly, and make sure employees understand both the task and the reason behind it.

We want a clinical leader who creates capability, not dependency.

Great resident care does not happen in isolation.

You’ll partner closely with the Executive Director and community leadership to connect clinical performance with:

Staffing and labor

Family experience

Admissions and occupancy

Risk and compliance

Employee performance

Overall community execution

You will be expected to bring clinical facts, sound judgment, and clear recommendations to the table.

Ideally, you bring:

Active LPN or RN license

Senior living, assisted living, long-term care, or comparable clinical experience
