Are you a neuropsychologist looking to make a real impact with an underserved population?

This setting may surprise you—in the best way.

It’s late morning.

You’re sitting across from someone most people have stopped really seeing.

They’ve been labeled “non‑compliant,” “difficult,” “confused,” or “behavioral.”

Their chart is thick. Their history fragmented. Their life—reduced to diagnoses and risk factors.

But, there are questions that remain unanswered. Do they have dementia? Can they make medical decisions? What is the best way to communicate with them?

You break out your tools at bedside and begin the evaluation. You listen carefully and meet them where they are.

The, the evaluation progresses. You begin to make sense of the file. The diagnoses become clearer. The treatment that they need is clarified.

Afterward, you speak with the facility staff. Oftentimes, they are busy with the many responsibilities that they handle during the day, but they appreciate your guidance because they now understand how to best treat that resident.

Sometimes, if it’s feasible, you speak with the resident’s family. You take the time to explain to them the conditions that their loved one is experiencing and help them make sense of what the future looks like for their loved on, themselves, and their family.

And then you realize something important:
This work matters more than you were ever told it could.

Why Skilled Nursing? Why Now?

Many neuropsychologists never imagine themselves working in skilled nursing facilities. Not because they wouldn’t be good at it or because it’s not necessary—but because no one ever explained what it actually looks like. And yet, the signs are clear that it’s a setting where they are much needed:

With adults 65+ projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for clinical neuropsychology in skilled nursing is rapidly increasing. Older nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs, creating a critical need for specialized neuropsychological care in the setting.

At Executive Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on this critical and growing need for quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting. For 30 years, EMH has offered clinically practical, human‑centered work to individuals residing in skilled nursing facilities, who often feel invisible. We serve individuals navigating:

• Cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric conditions
• Medical complexity and disability
• Trauma, grief, identity loss, and profound transitions
