Make Every First Day Feel Like Home.
At Friendsview, we believe that transitions matter. As our LPN Admission Nurse, you'll play a key role in helping older adults and their families navigate one of life's most important transitions with confidence, compassion, and dignity.
This isn't a traditional floor nursing role. You'll be the clinical coordinator behind seamless admissions, working closely with residents, families, providers, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure every new resident receives a safe, organized, and welcoming start in our Residential Care community.
If you're a relationship-focused nurse who enjoys care coordination, problem-solving, and making a meaningful impact, we'd love to meet you.

- Coordinate new admissions, readmissions, and short-stay resident transitions.
- Review clinical referrals, medical records, and admission documentation.
- Complete nursing assessments and support person-centered care planning.
- Conduct medication and treatment order reviews and assist with medication reconciliation.
- Partner with residents, families, physicians, hospitals, therapists, and community providers.
- Ensure all admission documentation is accurate, complete, and compliant.
- Help residents and families feel informed, supported, and welcomed.
- Collaborate with nursing, caregiving, therapy, and administrative teams to create smooth transitions into care.
- Support continuity of care for Friendsview Life Plan members utilizing short-stay or recovery services.
- Follow up with new residents to ensure a positive admission experience.
What Makes This Role Different?
- Build meaningful relationships instead of rushing from task to task.
- Focus on coordination, communication, and resident experience.
- Work with a collaborative interdisciplinary team.
- Help shape positive outcomes from day one.
- Be part of a mission-driven senior living community that values compassion, respect, and service.
