Ready to lead, support, and make a real difference?
We’re looking for a Registered Nurse (RN) to step into a Resident Care Manager (RCM) role that blends clinical leadership, admissions involvement, and hands-on support. This isn’t your typical desk-only position—you’ll be a key part of both the care team and the leadership team.
If you enjoy variety in your day, value strong teamwork, and take pride in delivering great resident care, we’d love to meet you.

- Review referrals and collaborate with the admissions team
- Help coordinate initial assessments, orders, and care planning
- Support occasional admissions after hours or on weekends

- A team-first mindset and willingness to pitch in
Physical Requirements
- Ability to stay active throughout the day (standing, walking, bending)
- Comfortable assisting residents with mobility and transfers
- Ability to lift or support up to 50 lbs, with or without assistance
What Makes This Role Stand Out
