About WellSpring

WellSpring Nursing and Care Management is a private-pay care management company built around a simple promise: clinical excellence, clear communication, and unwavering advocacy for older adults and their families. As we expand into the Detroit region, we're looking for a mission-driven leader to establish and grow our care operations from the ground up.

Role Summary

As Director of Nursing and Care Management, you’ll be the cornerstone of our Detroit launch.

Over time, you’ll evolve into a full leadership role — overseeing clinical operations, mentoring staff, and ensuring gold-standard care for every client.

You won’t be building alone. You’ll partner closely with the WellSpring Home Office, with strategic and operational support every step of the way.
