About The Position

At The Ivy, our seniors deserve the highest standard of care — every single day. We are family-oriented and committed to family-centered aging through generations. We lead with integrity, compassion, and teamwork. We believe in collective ownership — stepping in, following through, and doing whatever it takes to deliver excellence for every resident and family. We are looking for an RN Designee who is meticulous, decisive, and committed to flawless care. Someone who can handle interruptions and distractions without ever compromising accuracy or quality. As an RN Designee, you are at the heart of clinical excellence. You will supervise nursing staff, ensure regulatory compliance, and monitor care to guarantee that every resident receives the highest quality service. You are friendly and approachable — but focused. You know when to talk, when to listen, and when to act. You follow established processes consistently, yet you know when improvements can be made — always within guidelines. Every day is different. Urgent situations arise. Families call. Residents need attention. You respond with urgency, stay organized, and ensure no details are missed. This is a role for someone who believes that attention to detail saves lives, builds trust, and strengthens our community.
