Regional Director of Operations

A growing skilled nursing organization is seeking an experienced Regional Director of Operations to oversee a select group of skilled nursing facilities throughout Louisiana and help support the company’s continued growth.

Candidates do not need to reside in Louisiana. This position offers flexibility in home base, but the Regional Director must be willing and able to travel regularly throughout Louisiana and maintain a strong presence within the facilities.

This is a hands-on regional leadership role for a proven multi-site operator who understands how to drive performance across multiple buildings while supporting Administrators, Directors of Nursing, and department leaders.

The Regional Director of Operations will be responsible for operational performance, census growth, financial results, regulatory readiness, leadership development, and overall execution across the assigned facilities.

• Develop and mentor Administrators and department leaders
• Conduct regular facility visits and operational reviews
• Partner with ownership and executive leadership on strategic priorities and company growth

• Monitor resident satisfaction, family concerns, and quality outcomes
• Help improve consistency and accountability across assigned facilities
• Support turnaround initiatives when a facility is underperforming
• Help establish operational systems and leadership practices that can scale as the company grows

• Previous multi-site operational leadership experience in skilled nursing required

• Strong background in skilled nursing and long-term care operations
• Experience managing facility financial performance, labor, census, and budgets
• Strong knowledge of survey readiness and regulatory compliance
