At Charter Senior Living, our mission is simple: To Enhance the Human Spirit.
We're looking for an experienced Regional Director of Memory Care & Resident Programming who is passionate about creating exceptional dementia care experiences while developing high-performing community leaders across our organization.
This is more than a programming role—it's an opportunity to influence the quality of life for thousands of residents by mentoring teams, implementing innovative person-centered programming, and driving excellence across multiple senior living communities.
If you're energized by coaching others, solving complex challenges, and helping communities reach their full potential, we'd love to meet you.
As the Regional Director of Memory Care & Resident Programming, you'll serve as the operational and clinical programming expert for communities throughout your assigned region.

Evaluate resident engagement, quality outcomes, staffing models, and program effectiveness.
Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and implement action plans.
Partner with Operations, Sales, and Clinical leadership to strengthen occupancy, resident satisfaction, and family engagement.
Support new community openings, leadership transitions, and communities requiring additional operational support.
Stay current on emerging dementia care research, regulatory updates, and innovative programming practices.
You're a servant leader who enjoys developing people as much as developing programs.
You thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy traveling, and understand that every community has unique opportunities and challenges.
You build trust quickly, coach with empathy, and hold teams accountable for delivering exceptional resident experiences.
Minimum 5 years of progressive leadership experience in Memory Care or Dementia Care.
Multi-site leadership, regional leadership, or corporate support experience preferred.
Strong knowledge of Alzheimer's disease, dementia care, behavior management, and person-centered programming.
