Director of Nursing: The Architect of Clinical ExcellenceLocation: Lakeville, MN
Community: The Moments of Lakeville
We are seeking a
Director of Nursing (DON) who views nursing as an art form. You are someone who understands that a perfectly managed medication regimen is the baseline, but the real magic happens when a resident feels empowered, dignified, and truly at home.
Why This Role is Different- Environment Matters: Work in a community designed with intention-featuring natural light, advanced air filtration, and sensory-focused architecture that reduces resident agitation and promotes calm.
- The "Small House" Feel: Our staffing ratios allow you to actually know your residents. You won't be managing a facility; you'll be leading a household.
- Relationship-First Care: We get to know our residents' life stories before they even move in. Your role is to ensure their clinical care plan weaves seamlessly into their personal preferences.
Your Mission- Champion Clinical Sophistication: Oversee all nursing operations with an uncompromising eye for detail, ensuring "The Moments" of daily life are supported by rigorous clinical safety.
- Mentor a Specialized Team: Lead a team of CNA's and nurses who are trained in advanced dementia communication and sensory-based engagement.
- Family Partnership: Act as a sophisticated liaison for families, providing them with clinical peace of mind through transparent, high-touch communication.
- Innovation: Implement state-of-the-art health technology (from acoustic monitoring to circadian lighting) to enhance resident outcomes without the "institutional" feel.
The Ideal Candidate- The Credentials: Active RN License (BSN preferred).
- The Experience: Proven leadership in Assisted Living or Memory Care, with a deep understanding of state regulations and compliance.
- The Mindset: You are a "Working Director." You love being on the floor, mentoring your team, and observing the nuances of resident well-being.
- The Sophistication: You have a "concierge" mindset-you understand that excellence is found in the small things, from the scent of the air to the way a morning greeting is delivered.
What We Offer- A Culture of Calm: A workplace that prioritizes a quiet, odor-free, and high-aesthetic environment for staff and residents alike.
- Premium Compensation: Salary starting at $100,000 based on experience plus 401K (non matching) Generous PTO and other full time benefits health insurance, dental
- Professional Autonomy: The freedom to innovate your department and lead with a "person-centered" philosophy rather than a "task-centered" one.
