Divisional Resident Service Specialist NURSE

  Atria Senior Living Group, a nation wide assisted living company, has many locations throughout New York, New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic Regions (PA, VA). We are in search of a unique individual to fill the Divisional Resident Service Specialist role for these regions.  This position requires extensive travel to communities that need coverage.  The DRSS will perform essential assisted living functions in designated communities when the Resident Services Director position is vacant or in need of additional support. The focus will be primarily on ensuring level of care is accurate and up to date, and the community is in compliance with policies and procedures.

 

When people are looking for assisted living services, they are ultimately looking for the best care. Family members must know that their loved ones will be well cared for above all. The families of Atria residents know this because our Resident Services Directors are good listeners and communicators. This is important and appreciated when family members do not live nearby, or are unable to visit often enough to see firsthand how their loved ones are doing. While working in a community you will lead a Resident Assistance staff that provides the quality care these families are looking for.

 Your Opportunity

Your goal as a Divisional Resident Services Specialist is to help maintain a successful community, while we are recruiting new Resident Service Director. This means effectively managing all areas of the community?s care services relating to employees, residents, families, medical professionals, department heads and the Executive Director.  You will be a key component to keeping a community stable.

 

Having the largest staff in the community means you must be professional, well-respected, a good decision maker and a problem solver.

 

 

A Divisional Resident Services Specialist must:

 

?  be a licensed nurse;

?  be able to accurately assess the needs of each new resident;

?  schedule and execute ongoing resident assessments;

?  provide appropriate and flexible staff scheduling;

?  be a leader who helps motivate everyone to success;

?  hire staff members;

?  be able to serve as a liaison between residents and the medical community;

?  ensure the accuracy of all care documentation, including daily notes, incidents, medication records, etc.;

?  conduct Atria?s in-service training program.

* Must be comfortable with extensive travel in the NY, NJ, VA andPA area. This will be similar to a traveling nurse role, in which you may fill in for long periods of time.  Providing the Best Assisted Living Care

Atria hires only licensed nurses to serve as Divisional Resident Service Specialist and Resident Services Director in our communities. We employ nurses for their skill and medical knowledge. With a high level of professional oversight in our care program, we help ensure the most accurate assessments and care plans for our residents and the best quality of support for everyone.

 

Our assisted living communities are not nursing facilities, and, in most states, we do not provide any skilled nursing care. We provide assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming and getting from place to place. We also provide assistance with medications and incontinence care. Regulations on the types of services we can provide vary from state to state.

 

Atria has some of the highest standards in the industry within our care program. These standards exceed state requirements in most states. Also, we employ an independent quality assurance team who reports directly, and only, to our Board of Directors. Each Atria community is thoroughly evaluated twice each year. This is one more way Atria ensures that our residents receive our very best.
