Western & Central New York

 

Lead Where You’re Needed Most. Make an Impact Across Multiple Facilities.

Elderwood Staffing Solutions (ESS) is seeking an experienced and highly capable Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) to serve as a Regional Float Leader providing supplemental leadership support to our skilled nursing facilities across Western and Central New York. This role is designed to provide interim and supplemental administrative support and does not replace the requirement that each facility maintain a duly designated and Department of Health-approved Administrator of Record at all times.

 

This is a unique opportunity for a proven Administrator who thrives in dynamic environments and is energized by stepping into facilities to provide leadership support, operational stability, and strategic guidance as directed by regional and corporate leadership where it’s needed most.

Opportunities for future placement in a permanent, site‑based Administrator role may arise based on organizational need, regulatory approvals, and mutual fit; however, no specific placement, timeline, or assignment is guaranteed.

 

Why This Role Is Different

• Work across multiple Elderwood facilities providing interim administrative and leadership support
• Step into high‑impact leadership situations and drive real change
• Partner with Regional and Executive leadership teams
• Gain broad exposure across operations, teams, and facility cultures
• Ideal for experienced LNHAs who enjoy variety, challenge, and influence

Travel Expectations

• This role supports facilities across Western and Central New York
• Flexibility to travel and rotate based on organizational need is essential
