Nationwide Memory Care Executive Search
Jeff Harris & Associates has more than 25 years of experience partnering with memory care organizations nationwide, including stand-alone memory care communities and providers that offer memory care as part of a broader senior living continuum. JHA helps these organizations identify and recruit experienced executives and senior leaders who understand the clinical, operational, financial, and resident-centered demands of memory care.
Leadership in memory care requires more than general senior living experience. Successful executives must understand specialized dementia care, workforce development, family expectations, clinical quality, resident engagement, and the operational demands of supporting individuals with cognitive impairment. JHA helps organizations identify leaders with the experience and perspective needed to succeed in this environment.
Our memory care executive search experience spans leadership functions including:
- Single-Site and Multi-Site Memory Care Organizations
- Corporate Management
- Finance and Accounting
- Operations
- Sales and Marketing
- Dining and Hospitality
- Clinical Management
- Quality Assurance
- Human Resources
Memory care organizations face unique leadership challenges, including rising care expectations, workforce pressures, regulatory complexity, resident and family engagement, and the need to deliver consistent quality across increasingly specialized care environments.
JHA’s deep senior living expertise, direct market outreach, and long-standing relationships with executive talent help us identify and engage proven memory care leaders, including executives who may not be actively considering a career move. Our personalized approach helps clients define the leadership profile they need and identify candidates whose experience, judgment, and cultural alignment match the organization’s goals.
Retained
Search
Retained search is the most appropriate form of engagement when a client wants the recruiting firm to conduct a full search, screen applicants, and narrow the field down to three or four qualified candidates. Each applicant is vetted and evaluated on multiple fronts by the recruiting firm, including numerous interviews, screening assessments, full background checks, and references.
Priority
Search
Priority searches are recommended when clients desire their recruiter to invest dedicated time and resources to conduct a thorough, strategic candidate search. Clients have the option of utilizing online candidate screening tools, including DISC temperament Profiles, Wonderlic intelligence assessments, and online pre-recorded interview technology for finalist candidates.
Contingency
Search
Contingency search is an option recommended when the employer will assume responsibility for a majority of the screening and vetting process, and when an employer anticipates interviewing candidates from multiple sources and/or when the hiring needs are less urgent. In such searches, it is expected that the recruiter will assess candidates from our database and conduct a cursory evaluation of local candidates.
