About the job
Director of Nursing: The Architect of Clinical Excellence
Location: Lakeville, MN
Community: The Moments of Lakeville
The Vision
At The Moments, we don’t just provide "memory care." We curate a lifestyle where every resident is known, honored, and celebrated. Inspired by the highest standards of boutique senior living, we believe that clinical safety and beautiful living are not mutually exclusive.
We are seeking a Director of Nursing (DON) who views nursing as an art form. You are someone who understands that a perfectly managed medication regimen is the baseline, but the real magic happens when a resident feels empowered, dignified, and truly at home .
Why This Role is Different
- Environment Matters: Work in a community designed with intention - featuring natural light, advanced air filtration, and sensory-focused architecture that reduces resident agitation and promotes calm.
- The "Small House" Feel: Our staffing ratios allow you to actually know your residents. You won’t be managing a facility; you’ll be leading a household.
- Relationship-First Care: We get to know our residents’ life stories before they even move in. Your role is to ensure their clinical care plan weaves seamlessly into their personal preferences.
Your Mission
- Champion Clinical Sophistication: Oversee all nursing operations with an uncompromising eye for detail, ensuring "The Moments" of daily life are supported by rigorous clinical safety.
- Mentor a Specialized Team: Lead a team of CNA’s and nurses who are trained in advanced dementia communication and sensory-based engagement.
- Family Partnership: Act as a sophisticated liaison for families, providing them with clinical peace of mind through transparent, high-touch communication.
- Innovation: Implement state-of-the-art health technology (from acoustic monitoring to circadian lighting) to enhance resident outcomes without the "institutional" feel.
The Ideal Candidate
- The Credentials: Active RN License (BSN preferred).
- The Experience: Proven leadership in Assisted Living or Memory Care, with a deep understanding of state regulations and compliance.
- The Mindset: You are a "Working Director." You love being on the floor, mentoring your team, and observing the nuances of resident well-being.
- The Sophistication: You have a "concierge" mindset - you understand that excellence is found in the small things, from the scent of the air to the way a morning greeting is delivered.
What We Offer
- A Culture of Calm: A workplace that prioritizes a quiet, odor-free, and high-aesthetic environment for staff and residents alike.
- Premium Compensation: Salary starting at $100,000 based on experience plus 401K (non matching) Generous PTO and other full time benefits health insurance, dental
- Professional Autonomy: The freedom to innovate your department and lead with a "person-centered" philosophy rather than a "task-centered" one.
