Are you an experienced, compassionate Speech Language Pathologist with senior living experience who is ready for a change?

We are seeking a dedicated Speech Language Pathologist (may consider driven CFYs) to join this progressive team and provide person‑centered services to adult and geriatric residents in senior living and post‑acute settings.

- Treat adult and geriatric communication disorders, including speech sound production, language and aphasia, literacy‑related issues, social communication/pragmatics, voice, and fluency.
- Assess and treat cognitive‑communication deficits affecting memory, attention, problem solving, organization, and safety awareness as they relate to functional daily activities.
- Evaluate and treat feeding and swallowing (dysphagia) disorders, recommending appropriate diet textures, liquid consistencies, and compensatory strategies to support safe nutrition and hydration.
- Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team (nursing, rehab, physicians, dietitians, and wellness staff) to integrate speech‑language and swallowing goals into overall resident care plans.
- Educate residents, families, and staff on communication strategies, cognitive‑communication supports, safe swallowing techniques, and use of adaptive equipment or technology.
- Document evaluations, treatment sessions, progress notes, and discharge summaries accurately and in a timely manner, in accordance with regulatory, professional, and payer requirements.
- Participate in care conferences and quality initiatives to support improved outcomes, reduced rehospitalizations, and enhanced quality of life for residents.

- Current, unrestricted Speech Language Pathologist license in the state of practice (or eligibility prior to start).
- Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech‑Language Pathology (CCC‑SLP) preferred, if applicable by state and employer requirements.
- Prior experience in senior living, skilled nursing, post‑acute rehab, or long‑term care strongly preferred.
- Strong interest and competence in adult and geriatric communication and swallowing disorders.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and collaboration skills, with a resident‑centered, outcomes‑focused approach.
