Director of Wellness

NorthPointe Woods | Battle Creek, Michigan

Full-Time | Clinical Leadership

Know the standard. Build a clinical operation you can be proud of.

NorthPointe Woods
, a Cardinal Senior Living community in Battle Creek, is looking for a Director of Wellness who takes clinical excellence personally.

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.

You’ll probably love this role if you like to:

• 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

The expectation is not simply that problems get handled.

The expectation is that you understand why they happened and strengthen the system so they are less likely to happen again.

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

• Resident retention

• 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.

We’re looking for someone with clinical depth, strong judgment, and a high personal standard.

Ideally, you bring:

• Active LPN or RN license

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

• Previous clinical leadership experience

• Strong knowledge of assessments, care planning, medication management, documentation, and resident-care practices

• Experience coaching and…
