Lead a team. Build relationships. Make assisted living feel like home.

Assisted Living Manager Opportunity – The Village at Rockville
Salary range: $85,000 – $100,000 annually, commensurate with experience, qualifications, and demonstrated leadership performance.

If you’re a people-centered leader who knows how to create a strong team and an exceptional experience for older adults, we’d love to meet you.

As our Assisted Living Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day operations of our assisted living neighborhood—supporting team members, building relationships with residents and families, maintaining high standards, and creating an environment where people can thrive.

You won’t do it alone. You’ll work closely with our Delegating Nurse, who provides clinical oversight, along with an interdisciplinary team committed to delivering excellent service and purposeful living.

Lead, coach, and develop the Assisted Living team
Create a welcoming, respectful experience for residents and families
Oversee daily operations, staffing, scheduling, admissions, and service coordination
Maintain strong regulatory and operational standards
Partner with the Delegating Nurse to ensure resident needs and service plans are carried out
Build an engaged, accountable team through regular coaching, feedback, and recognition
Collaborate across departments to solve problems and continually improve the resident experience

What You’ll Bring

At least 2 years of experience in a healthcare-related field
Leadership or supervisory experience in assisted living, senior living, long-term care, or a related environment
Experience working with older adults, including individuals living with dementia
Strong communication, organization, judgment, and problem-solving skills
A genuine commitment to treating every resident with dignity, respect, and individuality
Successful completion of Maryland’s required 80-hour Assisted Living Manager training program and all other applicable state requirements

Why Join NLCS?

This is an opportunity to do more than manage a department. You’ll have the ability to shape the resident experience, develop a great team, and influence how assisted living operates every day—all within an organization focused on helping residents and team members live with purpose.

Bring your leadership. Bring your ideas. And help us create an assisted living community where people truly feel at home.
