• Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of Michigan. Exceptional Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) will also be considered.

• At least two years of experience with MDS 3.0 and the RAI process preferred.

• RAC-CT certification preferred.

• Exceptional organizational skills, accuracy, and attention to detail.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across nursing, therapy, social services, dietary, and leadership teams.

• A proactive, resident-focused professional who takes pride in quality outcomes, compliance, and teamwork.

Why Join Us?
