Make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors while advancing your nursing leadership career at Lorien Harmony Hall's Harmony Park Memory Care neighborhood.

 

We are seeking an experienced Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse (RN) to serve as the day-to-day clinical nursing leader for our Memory Care team. This role is ideal for a Maryland Registered Nurse with Delegating Nurse, Assisted Living, Memory Care, dementia care, and nursing leadership experience who wants the opportunity to lead a team while remaining closely connected to residents and families.

 

Reporting to the Health & Wellness Director of Nursing, the Delegating Nurse provides hands-on clinical leadership, oversees resident health and wellness needs, supports safe medication management and nursing delegation, develops team members, and promotes compassionate, person-centered Memory Care.

 

You Won't Do It Alone

Strong clinical leadership requires the right support.

Our Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse works alongside a dedicated unit secretary, staffing coordinator, and part-time Delegating Nurse, with leadership and support from Harmony Hall's Health & Wellness Director of Nursing.

You'll also partner with our Memory Care Director, a non-clinical leader who supports Life Enrichment, resident engagement, and programming designed specifically around the needs and abilities of our Memory Care residents.

 

This structure allows you to focus on what matters most: resident care, clinical leadership, team development, family communication, regulatory compliance, and the overall clinical operations of the Memory Care neighborhood.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do..

 

As the Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse for Harmony Park Memory Care, you will combine clinical oversight, nursing leadership, resident assessment, nursing delegation, medication management, and team development while working closely with the Health & Wellness Director of Nursing and your Memory Care support team.

 

Resident Care & Clinical Oversight

  • Complete required initial resident assessments, both on-site and off-site
  • Complete required Delegating Nurse resident observations and assessments, including 45-day onsite reviews and significant-change assessments
  • Provide clinical oversight of resident care and identify changes in resident health and wellness
  • Collaborate in the development and maintenance of individualized resident service plans
  • Conduct weekly wound rounds and monitor residents' clinical needs
  • Communicate changes in resident condition with physicians, medical providers, families, and members of the interdisciplinary care team

Delegating Nurse & Medication Oversight

  • Appropriately delegate nursing tasks in accordance with Maryland requirements and standards of nursing practice
  • Oversee medication management and support compliance related to Certified Medication Technicians
  • Help maintain nursing practices and documentation consistent with applicable Assisted Living requirements
  • Promote resident safety and support compliance with health, safety, emergency preparedness, and infection prevention practices
  • On-call coverage is shared. In accordance with Maryland Delegating Nurse requirements, you’ll participate in a rotating on-call schedule with a team of 4–5 Delegating Nurses, rather than carrying the responsibility individually.

Maryland regulations assign the Delegating Nurse responsibility for clinical oversight and appropriate delegation of nursing tasks and require the nurse to be onsite to observe each resident at least every 45 calendar days.

Memory Care Nursing Leadership

This position is more than assessments and documentation. You will be a visible, day-to-day clinical nursing leader for the Harmony Park Memory Care team.

You will:

  • Provide clinical direction, coaching, mentoring, and support to caregivers and clinical team members
  • Lead by example and help build a highly engaged Memory Care team focused on resident safety, clinical excellence, and compassionate dementia care
  • Educate and develop team members while reinforcing best practices in Memory Care, medication management, resident assessments, and changes in condition
  • Promote strong communication and collaboration among nursing, caregivers, families, healthcare providers, and the broader Harmony Hall leadership team
  • Help foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, responsiveness, and exceptional resident care

What You'll Need

  • Current, unencumbered Registered Nurse (RN) license in Maryland
  • Completion of the Maryland Board of Nursing-approved Case Manager/Delegating Nurse training
  • Delegating Nurse experience in Assisted Living strongly preferred
  • Memory Care or dementia care experience required
  • Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) certification preferred
  • Strong resident assessment and clinical decision-making skills
  • Knowledge of medication management, nursing delegation, and senior care
