A bit about us:

We are a large skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Queens entering a major new chapter.

The building is established. The staff is loyal. The residents and families are connected to the place. And now the facility is being upgraded, renovated, and repositioned for a higher-end short-term rehab future.

We are not looking for someone to hide in an office and sign off on reports.

We need a clinical leader who can walk the building, earn trust, hold standards, develop people, prepare for survey, and lead change without turning the place upside down just to prove they are in charge.

The right DON will have support around them, including ADON coverage, strong unit managers, regional resources, and an Administrator who stays involved.

This is a serious seat for a serious nursing leader.

Not a rescue mission. Not a revolving door. Not a “good luck, the survey team is here” situation.

This is a chance to help lead a 280-bed Queens facility into its next era.

Why join us?
  • $200K–$230K salary range plus bonus gives this the earning power of a true senior clinical leadership seat, not a glorified manager role.
  • Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule gives the DON structure and predictability in a field where “leadership” often means being on fire 24/7.
  • Three ADONs already in place means the DON can lead strategy, survey readiness, culture, and outcomes instead of personally carrying every wound, risk, education, and review issue.
  • Ability to bring your own ADON gives a strong DON the chance to install a trusted operator and move faster.
  • Millions being invested into renovations means the DON is joining a building with momentum, not begging ownership to fix basic conditions.
  • High-end short-term rehab growth plan gives the DON a bigger mission than maintaining census — this is about building a destination facility.
  • 280-bed scale gives the role real scope, visibility, and career weight.
  • Strong staffing and unit managers reduce the daily chaos that burns out even excellent DONs.
  • Supportive, involved Administrator gives the DON an actual partner instead of someone who only shows up when surveyors walk in.
  • Stable culture with long-tenured staff means you are not rebuilding trust from zero.
  • Resident and family relationships are strong which makes the job less defensive and more focused on quality.
  • Regional Excelsior support and weekly DON calls give the DON peer support and operator visibility beyond one building.
  • On-site parking and transit access matter in Queens because the commute cannot be an afterthought.
  • Survey readiness focus gives a strong regulatory DON the chance to show real command, not just talk compliance.
  • This is a change-leadership role, not a cleanup job — the right person gets to put their stamp on a building entering a new era.

Job Details

Key responsibilities
  • Lead nursing operations across a large skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.
  • Maintain compliance with CMS, NYSDOH, and long-term care regulatory standards.
  • Drive survey readiness and quality improvement initiatives.
  • Oversee QAPI, clinical education, infection prevention, risk management, and performance improvement efforts.
  • Mentor, coach, and develop nursing leadership
  • Monitor staffing, scheduling, clinical outcomes, documentation, and resident satisfaction.
  • Partner with the Administrator and interdisciplinary team to improve systems, communication, and accountability.
  • Support short-term rehab growth by strengthening clinical quality, hospital relationships, and discharge outcomes.
  • Serve as a visible leader throughout the building.
What we are looking for
  • Active New York RN license.
  • Experience as a Director of Nursing in skilled nursing, long-term care, subacute rehab, or post-acute care.
  • Strong knowledge of CMS regulations, NYSDOH requirements, survey readiness, QAPI, infection control, staffing, and nursing home operations.
  • Proven ability to lead teams, improve outcomes, and hold people accountable without destroying morale.
  • A calm, confident leadership style.
  • Someone who can lead change in a building that is ready for its next level.
