Are you a senior living leader who knows how to run great operations — and fill your building? We're looking for a dynamic, hands-on Executive Director who can balance the heart of exceptional resident care with the drive of a true sales-and-growth mindset. If you thrive on building relationships — with residents, families, referral partners, and your team — and you get energized watching a census grow because of the culture you built, this is your next role.
This isn't just an operations job. It's a leadership opportunity for someone who sees themselves as both the CEO of their community and its most passionate advocate in the market.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Community Leadership & Operations
- Lead all aspects of the community's daily operations — staffing, budgeting, regulatory compliance, and overall performance.
- Build and mentor a high-performing team, providing training on best practices in senior care, medication administration, and resident engagement.
- Maintain accurate records related to resident care, staff performance, and facility operations, and manage budgets effectively without compromising quality.
Resident Care & Quality of Life
- Develop and implement individualized care plans, ensuring every resident's needs are met with compassion and professionalism.
- Champion a supportive, engaging environment for residents with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory-related conditions.
- Oversee medication administration and ensure all health-related protocols are followed accurately.
- Collaborate closely with families and healthcare professionals to coordinate care and resolve concerns proactively.
- Promote meaningful community life through activities and programming that drive real social engagement.
Sales, Census Growth & Community Reputation
- Own the sales funnel for your community — tours, inquiries, move-ins, and conversion — with a genuine hunger to grow occupancy.
- Build and nurture referral relationships with hospitals, physicians, discharge planners, and other professional partners in your market.
- Represent the community at networking events, local business functions, and industry associations to build brand awareness and pipeline.
- Partner with marketing to execute local outreach strategies, events, and campaigns that generate qualified leads.
- Deliver compelling, confident tours that convert prospective families into residents — because you believe in what your team has built.
- Track and report on sales metrics, working with leadership to hit and exceed occupancy goals.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Proven leadership experience in assisted living, memory care, or long-term care; nursing home experience is a plus.
- Demonstrated sales or business development experience — census growth, referral development, tour conversion, or a comparable track record of driving results through relationships.
- Background working with individuals with developmental disabilities or in memory care settings.
- A track record of building and leading strong teams, with the ability to coach, train, and hold people accountable.
- Solid financial acumen — you know how to run a budget without losing sight of care quality.
- Working knowledge of care planning for dementia and other senior care needs, including medication administration protocols.
- Sharp communication skills — equally comfortable with a grieving family member, a state surveyor, or a referral partner over coffee.
- A genuine, contagious passion for improving seniors' lives — and the drive to bring more of them through your doors.
WHY THIS ROLE
This is a chance to lead with real autonomy, build a community's reputation in your market, and see the direct results of your leadership — in resident satisfaction, staff retention, and a growing census. You'll be supported by a team that values both operational excellence and bold, relationship-driven growth.
If you're ready to lead a community that residents are proud to call home — and that families are proud to recommend — we want to talk to you.
