Job description
Description
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) - Right-Hand to the Healing!
Do you thrive in organized chaos, love a good, color-coded spreadsheet, and get a thrill out of helping others lead with purpose? Do you find joy in a perfectly executed care plan and secretly love solving problems faster than a caffeine-fueled ER doctor on a TV drama? If so, you might just be our next Assistant Director of Nursing - aka the calm in the clinical storm, the second-in-command of compassion, and the keeper of quality care.
This isn't your average clipboard-and-calls kind of gig. You'll help run the nursing department like a pro while making sure our residents get the top-tier care they deserve. Leadership hat on. Clipboard in hand. Compassion at the core.
What You'll Be Rockin' Daily:
Supporting and supervising the nursing team with a healthy balance of leadership, guidance, and the occasional pep talk
Making clinical calls that are smart, swift, and spot-on (because residents deserve the best)
Helping ensure staff are providing top-quality care that meets all regulations (no red tape here!)
Monitoring medications, treatment plans, and documentation to keep care consistent and thorough
Assisting with budgeting, scheduling, and making the nursing department hum like a well-oiled machine
Hiring, training, and mentoring new rockstar team members - building a crew that lifts each other up
Playing a key role in quality assurance, surveys, safety compliance, and basically being the go-to for "Hey, who can handle this?"\
Keeping close contact with physicians and our amazing Medical Director to ensure seamless care
Oh, and knowing state regs like the back of your hand (yep, we see you, compliance champ)
Requirements
What's in Your Nurse Bag: (aka Your Credentials & Experience)
A nursing degree from an accredited school (RN required!)
Valid RN license in the state of Illinois (or ability to get one, stat!)
3+ years of experience as an ADON in long-term care - you're a seasoned pro
1-3 years of supervisory experience in skilled, acute, restorative, or geriatric care
You know MDS, care planning, and regulatory processes like you know your coffee order
Strong leadership and organizational skills - because you're the one they call when it has to get done
You're tech-savvy enough to run reports, enter data, and not break a sweat
Above all: you're passionate about people, purpose, and providing the best care possible
Why You'll Love Being the ADON with Us:
Because here, your skills matter and your ideas are heard. You'll help lead a team of dedicated caregivers, support incredible residents, and know that every shift you work is making a real difference. We don't just check boxes - we change lives (with a little laughter along the way).
The Fine Print (Still Important!):
Offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check and drug screen. We want to keep our residents safe, happy, and in good hands - you're part of that promise.
