Director, Home Health Administrator

Director, Home Health Administrator

Leading Faith-Based Nonprofit Health System Home Health & Hospice Division

Greater Denver Metro - Greenwood Village, Colorado Full-Time, Exempt Day Shift On-Site

Compensation Range: $109,174 - $203,054 annually + executive benefits


If you're a home health leader, you already know the script: industry-wide turnover near 80%, ever-shifting CMS rules and PDGM recalibrations, LUPA-threshold landmines, surveyor scrutiny, referral pressure, and a team that needs you to be steady when the regulatory ground keeps moving. You took this work because you believe people heal best at home - but somewhere between the audits, the unfilled visits, and the 11 p.m. compliance emails, the mission can start to feel like a memory.

This role is built for the leader who is ready to stop firefighting and start building - backed by a Fortune-recognized health system that actually invests in the people who lead its agencies.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Our client - a faith-based, not-for-profit health system recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Employers by State, certified by Great Place To Work® for two consecutive years, and named to Becker's 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare - is seeking a Director / Home Health Administrator to lead the day-to-day clinical, operational, and financial performance of a well-established home health and hospice agency serving the metro Denver region. You will direct the full agency footprint: intake, scheduling, clinical supervision, OASIS quality, utilization management, billing oversight, payer credentialing, regulatory compliance, and team development. You will be the senior leader on the ground - the one referring physicians and care management teams pick up the phone for.

You will function as a strategic operator with real authority, plugged into a connected continuum of care - not as an isolated administrator buried under paperwork or stranded between corporate and the field.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
• True Operational Autonomy - You own the agency. You will set the standard for clinical supervision, quality improvement, and financial performance - with executive support, not micromanagement. Decision authority is one of the most consistently cited drivers of retention for home health leaders, and this role is designed around it.
• Meaningful Mission, Not Just a Workload - Lead an agency anchored in nearly three decades of compassionate Coloradan home health and hospice care - not a private-equity roll-up. Your KPIs are tied to patient outcomes and team wholeness, not just episode volume.
• A Connected Multidisciplinary Team - You will partner directly with hospital leaders, care management, intake, clinical supervisors, and a 24/7 RN on-call structure - and be supported by one of the largest integrated faith-based systems in the country. No more solo lift.
• Schedule Sanity - Full-time, day-shift, on-site role with predictable Monday-Friday rhythm and structured on-call coverage. Home health leadership burnout is driven by always-on cognitive load - this role is structured to protect recovery time.
• Investment in You, From Day One - Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage starting Day One. Paid Time Off accruing Day One. 4 weeks 100% paid parental leave. 403(b) retirement. Tuition assistance and a defined leadership development pipeline within a 95,000+ team-member system.
• A Culture That Walks the Talk - Glassdoor Best Place to Work 2025. Newsweek America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. Forbes Best Employers for Veterans. Whole-person care for patients - and team members - is the operating philosophy, not a tagline.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Direct all day-to-day clinical, operational, and financial functions of the agency, ensuring a clinical supervisor is on-call during operating hours and an RN is available 24/7 to address patient needs.
• Drive financial performance - monitor variances, optimize reimbursement under PDGM, manage payer credentialing and contract services, and implement measures to keep the agency fiscally strong without sacrificing care.
• Hit and exceed national benchmarks on the KPIs that matter: hospitalization rates, OASIS quality, HHCAHPS patient experience, LUPA management, and HHVBP outcomes.
• Own regulatory readiness - partner with state agencies, CMS, CLIA, and accrediting bodies to maintain survey-ready operations every day, not just every three years.
• Build the bench - collaborate with talent acquisition and HR to recruit, credential, and retain qualified clinical and support personnel in a market where home health turnover sits near 80%.
• Lead the QI committee, infection control, risk management, and patient experience initiatives; review trends quarterly and translate data into action.
• Serve as the relationship lead with hospital leaders, care management teams, and referral partners - building the trust that drives sustainable census.

WHO YOU ARE

Required
• Bachelor's degree in Nursing or another healthcare-related field (or 4+ years of equivalent experience in lieu of degree).
• 5+ years of progressive leadership experience in home-based care operations or other related healthcare operations.
• Active Registered Nurse (RN) OR Physical Therapist (PT) licensure.
• Demonstrated clinical expertise, leadership ability, and working knowledge of community health resources.

Preferred
• Master's in Healthcare Administration, Business, or Nursing (MHA, MBA, or MSN).
• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
• Direct experience with Medicare/Medicaid Conditions of Participation, OASIS, PDGM, HHVBP, and accreditation by The Joint Commission or ACHC.
• Track record of successful state and federal survey outcomes.
• Comfort with EHR systems (Epic preferred), real-time KPI dashboards, and HHCAHPS improvement work
