Director of Nursing (RN) – Home Care (Non-Skilled)

Job description:

 

Lead with Purpose — Without Hospital-Level Stress

 

BrightStar Care is hiring a Director of Nursing (DON) to oversee our non-skilled home care services in Northwest Arkansas. This is NOT a high-acuity, Medicare-certified home health Director of Nursing role. There is no OASIS management, no skilled admissions oversight, and no hospital-level case complexity. Instead, this role focuses on clinical leadership, caregiver supervision, client assessments, and regulatory compliance in a personal care home setting.

 

If you are a seasoned RN ready to step into leadership — or an experienced DON looking for a better work-life balance — this position offers professional impact with structured daytime hours.
