Job Description

Lead your own community. Own the results. Add LIFE to the years of the people you serve.

At VitaCare Living - Rice Lake, the RN Administrator runs the community the way a CEO runs a business. You’re the one leader accountable for everything that happens under our roof: resident care, the team, day-to-day operations, regulatory standing, and the relationships that make us a trusted part of VitaCare Living - Rice Lake. You’ll have real authority to lead, and the support of a regional team that wants you to succeed.

Our mission is to add LIFE to the years of our residents and staff, built on three promises: Community, Freedom, Dignity, and Purpose. We don’t aim for minimum compliance. We want residents living their best possible lives, a workplace where great people want to stay, and surveyors who leave as raving fans. If you’re a nurse who’s ready to take full ownership of a community, and not just the med cart, this role was built for you.

Ready to lead? Apply today and help us add LIFE to the years of our residents and staff.
