Hiring the right Nursing Home Administrator is one of the most critical decisions a skilled nursing organization can make. NHAs are responsible for regulatory compliance, financial performance, clinical oversight, staffing stability, and resident outcomes.
Premier Search conducts nationwide Nursing Home Administrator executive searches, delivering leaders with demonstrated success in:
- CMS compliance and survey readiness
- Census growth and occupancy stabilization
- Staff retention and culture transformation
- Financial and operational performance
- Turnaround and underperforming facilities
We recruit NHAs for single-site facilities, multi-site operators, and regional portfolios across all 50 states.
Why Nursing Home Administrator Hires Fail Without Specialized Search
Many Nursing Home Administrator hires fail because organizations rely on:
- Job boards with active (but often underqualified) candidates
- Generalist recruiters without post-acute expertise
- Reactive hiring after survey or census issues
Premier Search focuses on passive NHA candidates — administrators who are currently successful, employed, and not actively applying. This allows us to deliver higher-caliber leadership with proven track records.
