About the role

The Director of Nursing is responsible for overseeing the nursing department in the coordination of care, quality of interventions and outcomes, and financial management of clinical services. The role interacts with each department within the facility and requires a leader who can lead, motivate, educate and mentor licensed and certified staff. At StoneBridge Senior Living, being a caregiver is more than our business; we consider it a privilege and are dedicated to both the individual needs of our residents and to each other. Each StoneBridge community becomes a close, welcoming group where employees help each other develop skills related to their senior care careers, knowing we can do more together than we could ever do alone. Employees are encouraged to become the best version of themselves to help us provide the best possible care for our residents.
