Are you the type of operations leader who naturally spots what’s broken, digs into the details, and drives teams toward better outcomes?
We’re looking for an Area Director of Operations to support Home Health and Home Care operations across Indiana. This role is built for a highly organized, data-minded, and action-oriented leader who can step into complexity, clean up operational gaps, and help create stronger long-term processes across multiple agencies.

- Build sustainable operational processes that reduce repeat issues over time
Use Data to Drive Action
- Pull and analyze reports to identify trends, gaps, and risk areas across agencies
- Use tools such as AlayaCare, Axxess, Power BI, and Sandata to help uncover operational and billing issues
- Translate findings into practical action steps and follow-up plans
