Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) - RN

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Unlike large skilled nursing facilities, our 24-bed skilled nursing community offers the rare opportunity to truly know your residents, families, and team members. As ADON, you'll have the ability to make a meaningful impact every day while maintaining a healthier, more manageable scope of responsibility.

This is an ideal role for an experienced RN who:

• Enjoys leading and mentoring clinical teams
• Thrives in a hands-on leadership role
• Values building strong relationships with residents and families
• Wants the opportunity to influence quality outcomes without overseeing a large facility
• Is seeking a supportive culture that values work-life balance and professional growth
