Services

Any leadership seat, filled in days.

Executive director, director of nursing, business development, maintenance, business office, dietary, activities, regional — when a leadership seat is empty the building cannot wait for the search. We place experienced, state-licensed leaders on an interim basis: during a search, a transition, or through a turnaround.

When communities call us

  • A leadership seat is open — ED, DON, business development, maintenance, business office — or turning over repeatedly
  • A leadership departure is coming and there's no internal successor
  • The community is in a turnaround that needs a steadier hand than a first-time hire
  • Ownership needs an operator's read on the building while deciding what's next

What the work includes

  • The seat run day to day — staffing, census, compliance, families, the P&L for an ED; the equivalent for every other role
  • A 30/60/90 stabilization plan delivered in the first week on-site
  • Weekly written reporting to ownership — census, labor, compliance, cash
  • Agency and overtime spend attacked first; the schedule rebuilt to hold
  • Support for the permanent search, and a documented handoff to the hire

Seats we fill

Executive Director / Administrator

Licensed NHA or AL administrator. Runs the building, the survey and the P&L.

Director of Nursing / ADON

Clinical leadership, survey readiness, staffing and acuity.

Director of Business Development

Admissions, referral sources, census and the inquiry-to-move-in funnel.

Director of Maintenance / Environmental

Life-safety systems, physical plant, capital projects, survey tags that live in the building.

Business Office Manager

Billing, collections, payroll, resident trust funds, month-end.

Dietary / Culinary Director

Food service compliance, cost per resident day, satisfaction.

Activities / Life Enrichment Director

Programming that families notice and surveyors look for.

Regional Director of Operations

Multi-site oversight when the regional seat is empty or the portfolio is in trouble.

One leader, with a whole bench behind them.

Our interims have run buildings through state surveys and census recoveries, and they arrive with Mainspring behind them — playbooks, reporting cadence, and a network of nurse consultants when the building needs clinical depth. Placements are matched to your state's administrator licensure requirements.
