Regional MDS - Skilled Nursing (Maryland & Virginia Region)

We are a dynamic and rapidly growing operator of skilled nursing facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region, dedicated to delivering exceptional care, maintaining the highest regulatory standards, and creating a culture where both residents and staff thrive. Across our portfolio, we combine clinical excellence with operational discipline, emphasizing hands-on leadership, transparency, and accountability in every building. Our approach is centered on building strong, sustainable systems that ensure consistency across facilities while empowering teams to make a meaningful impact on resident outcomes. We invest in leadership development, continuous staff training, and cutting-edge processes that not only support compliance and reimbursement accuracy but also foster a workplace where clinical teams feel supported, valued, and capable of delivering their best work every day. With multiple facilities spanning both suburban and urban locations, our organization thrives on collaboration, data-driven decision making, and a commitment to quality that resonates from the executive level down to each team member on the floor.

The Regional MDS role is a cornerstone of our operational model, responsible for overseeing MDS operations across five skilled nursing facilities, driving clinical and financial outcomes through hands-on leadership, mentorship, and strategic oversight. This role requires a leader who is comfortable being present in the buildings, actively engaging with MDS Coordinators, Directors of Nursing, Administrators, and clinical staff to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant assessments. Four of the facilities are in the Baltimore suburbs, with one additional site in Virginia Beach that requires occasional travel, making this position ideal for a professional with regional experience and the ability to balance multiple priorities across diverse locations. The ideal candidate will not only ensure regulatory compliance and optimize reimbursement performance but also foster consistency, strengthen staff capabilities, and standardize best practices across the portfolio. This is a role for someone who thrives on impact, wants to be in the field rather than behind a desk, and understands the critical link between high-quality documentation, accurate MDS reporting, and the financial and operational health of skilled nursing facilities.
