Our Mission

The mission of The Waters is 'To create a sense of community where everyone THRIVES'.

We recognize that every team member is a direct reflection of The Waters. Attracting and investing in professional, caring, and compassionate team members is essential to our mission. We want our team members to feel inspired and to THRIVE, just as our residents do.

The Nursing Lead

As Director of Nursing, you'll provide clinical leadership that keeps resident care safe, consistent, and compliant-while guiding a strong, accountable care team. This full-time role is scheduled Monday-Friday with a call rotation and offers $110,000-$120,000 annually plus bonus potential.

Key responsibilities include clinical oversight and supervision of nursing/care staff; supporting resident acceptance decisions; ensuring assessments and service agreements are completed per regulation; partnering with residents and families on care planning and communication; participating in on-call coverage as needed; and helping manage staffing and overtime to support the budget.

Required qualifications/skills:
- Current RN license in good standing (state where the community is located)
- Prior healthcare leadership/nursing administration experience
- Working knowledge of Department of Health regulations for senior living with a comprehensive home care license
- Eldermark familiarity is a plus
- Strong supervision, management, interpersonal, and resident-centered communication skills

If you're ready to lead with empathy, excellence, and integrity, apply today.

How Your Days Flow

You'll start by connecting with your team and checking the clinical rhythm of the community-what's changed overnight, what needs attention, and where support will make the biggest difference. Much of your day is relationship-driven: welcoming new residents through intake and assessment, learning their routines and goals, and building trust with families through clear, respectful updates. You'll also spend time coordinating across departments to keep care plans moving smoothly, then pivot to call-rotation needs as they arise. You end the day knowing your leadership helped caregivers feel confident and residents feel at home. The Waters on Mayowood values work/life balance - we have a team of triage call RN's for overnights and weekends and a dedicated staff scheduler.

Coverage That Counts

Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, plus a 401(k) and a Health Savings Account (HSA), generous PTO.
