LONG TERM CARE NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATOR - ATOKA MANOR INC

MUST HOLD OKLAHOMA LNHA LICENSE IN GOOD STANDING.

Nursing Home Administrator job duties are considerable, and vary from building to building depending on size, level of care, managerial structure, and focus. Generally, this position acts as the director of the facility and is ultimately responsible for all patient care and business decisions. Specifically, Nursing Home Administrator job duties may include:

• Manage the day-to-day operations of the facility and keep the organization on track for its long-term goals and mission.
• Coordinate and provide leadership to each clinical, managerial, and custodial team, and ensure that they work together effectively.
• Hire (and fire) staff and employees at every level
• Ensure the facility operates in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
• Coordinate with clinical staff to ensure residents’ individual care plans are being followed.
• Provide regular safety and compliance training.
• Create and maintain a budget.
• Oversee billing and set fees.
• Act as the ‘face’ of the organization to the governing board, the public, and residents’ families; and as a liaison between staff, residents, and families

Given the 24/7 nature of nursing homes, Nursing Home Administrators often work non-standard hours, and/or more than forty hours per week, and may be on-call on nights, weekends, and holidays. The Nursing Home Administrator role requires little to no clinical work. Most time is spent interacting with residents, families and staff, or in meetings, and requires excellent skills in time and stress management, a calm, patient, and professional demeanor, and deep understanding of both the clinical and business aspects of running an acute care or nursing facility.
