Memory Care Director – Premier Senior Living

I am partnering with a premier senior living operator in an affluent area of Austin looking for a dedicated Memory Care Director to lead their memory care and specialized cognitive programming. Backed by an established Executive Director and robust regional resources, you will bring leadership, stability, and true connection to a passionate care team.
The Role: Champion the Program
You won't just manage a schedule—you will set the standard for clinical and engagement excellence across a 26-unit secure memory care neighborhood and an innovative ‘bridges’ cognitive impairment program.
- Lead & Mentor from the Front: Directly supervise and coach ~35 caregivers and life enrichment professionals, modeling best practices during complex resident care situations.
- Guide Families & Assess Needs: Partner with clinical leadership to conduct cognitive assessments and guide families through crucial care transitions.
- Educate & Inspire: Deliver research-backed dementia education to new hires and ongoing staff across the community.
What It Takes to Lead Here
- The Background: Bachelor’s degree required; proven experience leading and coaching direct care teams in memory care or assisted living.
- The Clinical Touch: Familiarity with cognitive assessments (such as MMSE) and behavioral care approaches.
- The Mindset: A hands-on, high-empathy leader who builds trust with families and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to support staff.
