REGISTERED NURSE/HEALTHCARE DIRECTOR
We
are looking for the right person to partner with our team to oversee and help implement

Senior Living's mission is to devote ourselves to help each resident live a
life of purpose and each of us plays a crucial role in doing so. We operate
communities in the western US and are seeking the right Registered Nurse to

issues. We view our role in helping them
navigate this time as a privilege and an honor.

your work time in this setting, assisted living may be the right option for
you.
