Are you an experienced Nursing Home Administrator who thrives on challenge, variety, and making an immediate impact?

Health Dimensions Group (HDG)—a nationally respected leader in senior care consulting and management—is seeking an experienced Traveling Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) to step into critical leadership roles at skilled nursing communities throughout Minnesota.

These interim assignments go beyond the traditional Administrator role. You’ll have the opportunity to step into communities during periods of transition, provide stability and leadership, strengthen operations, support teams, and help drive meaningful improvements in resident care and overall performance.

If you’re the type of leader who can walk into a building, quickly assess operations, build trust with a team, and create a path forward—this is where your skills shine.

Why this role stands out:

• Step into high-impact assignments where your leadership and experience truly matter

• Work across diverse skilled nursing communities and operational environments

• Partner directly with regional leaders, clinical teams, ownership groups, and other key stakeholders to drive outcomes

• Build your portfolio with turnarounds, survey improvement, operational stabilization, census growth, and team development wins

• Experience the variety and flexibility of interim leadership while having the support of an experienced senior living consulting and management organization

• Join a firm known for integrity, hospitality, and results-driven consulting

What you’ll do:

• Provide interim Nursing Home Administrator leadership for skilled nursing communities throughout Minnesota

• Lead and stabilize facility operations during periods of leadership transition or operational need

• Oversee day-to-day operations while promoting high-quality resident care and service

• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements

• Maintain survey readiness and lead the community through regulatory surveys and plans of correction, as needed

• Partner closely with nursing leadership and interdisciplinary teams to strengthen clinical and operational outcomes

• Assess current systems, processes, staffing, and performance and implement sustainable improvements

• Recruit, mentor, develop, and support department leaders while building a positive and accountable workplace culture

• Monitor key operational metrics, including staffing, labor, census, revenue, expenses, quality measures, and resident satisfaction

• Develop and execute strategies to improve financial and operational performance

• Support census development, referral relationships, and overall community growth

• Communicate effectively with residents, families, employees, physicians, vendors, regulators, and other stakeholders

• Provide clear updates and recommendations to organizational and client leadership throughout each assignment

What you bring:

• Current Minnesota Nursing Home Administrator license in good standing

• Proven leadership experience as a Nursing Home Administrator in a skilled nursing/long-term care setting

• Strong knowledge of CMS requirements, Minnesota regulations, survey processes, and skilled nursing operations

• Demonstrated ability to lead communities through transition, operational challenges, or performance improvement initiatives

• Strong financial and operational acumen, including experience managing budgets, labor, staffing, and census

• Ability to quickly assess a community, establish priorities, and implement meaningful change

• Strong communication, relationship-building, and team development skills

• Ability to work independently and confidently in changing environments

• Flexibility and willingness to travel throughout Minnesota based on client and community needs

• Experience with interim leadership, turnaround environments, survey recovery, or multi-site operations is strongly preferred

At HDG, you’re not just filling a role—you’re helping communities move forward. Backed by a company with more than 20 years of trusted leadership in senior care, you’ll have access to an experienced team of operational, clinical, financial, and workforce professionals who understand the challenges facing skilled nursing providers.

If you’re ready for a dynamic, travel-based leadership opportunity where your experience can make an immediate difference, we’d love to connect.
