    About the Role

    We are an established, independently owned Medicare-certified home health agency in San Antonio that has been open since 1996 seeking a hands-on Director of Nursing to lead clinical operations, ensure compliance, and support continued growth.

    This is not a corporate DON role. Our DON is actively involved in day-to-day clinical oversight, quality assurance, staff support, and survey readiness. We are looking for someone who values structure, accountability, and patient safety and understands the realities of home health.

    Key Responsibilities

    Provide overall clinical leadership and oversight for nursing services

    Own and manage the QAPI program and quality improvement initiatives

    Ensure compliance with Medicare Conditions of Participation, Texas HHSC rules, and agency policies

    Oversee clinical documentation and support OASIS accuracy (coding outsourced; DON-level understanding required)

    Supervise, mentor, and support RNs and LVNs

    Participate in survey readiness and respond to audits as needed

    Coordinate with intake, scheduling, and administrative staff

    Be available for occasional field visits (spot checks, coverage when needed)

    Support growth while maintaining compliance and clinical quality

    Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

    Active Texas RN license in good standing

    Medicare Home Health experience (minimum 2–3 years)

    Prior leadership experience (DON, ADON, Clinical Manager, QA Nurse, or Supervisor)

    Strong understanding of:

    Medicare home health regulations

    Clinical documentation standards

    QA/QAPI processes

    Comfortable working in a small-agency, hands-on environment

    Strong organizational and communication skills

    Preferred (Strongly Desired)

    OASIS SOC/ROC/Discharge experience

    Survey or audit experience

    Psych or complex patient experience

    Axxess, Kinnser, or similar home health EMR experience

    Bilingual (English/Spanish)

    What This Role Is — and Is Not

    This role IS:

    Hands-on

    Compliance-focused

    Collaborative with ownership

    Designed for someone who wants autonomy and real impact

    This role is NOT:

    A corporate or regional DON position

    A desk-only role

    A hospital transition role with no home health background

    Compensation

    Salary range: $85,000 – $100,000 (based on experience)

    Paid Time Off (PTO) offered

    Mileage reimbursement for work-related travel

    Phone stipend

    No corporate bureaucracy; direct access to leadership

    Why Join Us

    Stable, established agency with strong compliance history

    Opportunity to shape clinical operations and growth

    Respect for clinical judgment and leadership

    Supportive, experienced administrative team

    Focus on doing things the right way, not cutting corners
