Leadership to Maintain Momentum

Stabilize Operations. Protect NOI. Reduce Risk.

Interim senior living leadership provides immediate stability, risk assessment, and short-term oversight to protect NOI.

From fractional executive support to recovery and repositioning strategies, HAVE AN experienced leader READY quickly to safeguard compliance, maintain census, and ensure operational continuity while you secure the right long-term hire.

The Challenge: Vacant Leadership Comes at a High Price

When a key leadership seat opens, disruption is immediate. Occupancy stalls, team morale dips, compliance risks rise, and NOI begins to erode.

  • NIC reports leadership vacancies can cause a 5–10% NOI decline in just 60 days

  • The average time to hire exceeds 90 days

  • A vacant ED seat can cost $30k+ per month in lost revenue and instability

Traditional hiring timelines can’t keep pace with urgent operational needs. Every day without executive leadership puts your community at risk.

The Solution: Flexible Leadership

An interim Executive Director or RDO provides immediate stability onsite, remote, or hybrid, without long-term obligation. Beyond “holding the seat,” interim leaders offer:

  • Risk Assessment – Independent review of compliance, staffing, and financial exposure

  • Short-Term Oversight – Targeted recovery or repositioning of underperforming operations with no long-term hiring commitments

  • Fractional Leadership – Strategic full-time, part-time, or shared executive support to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

  • Continuity of Care – Protects census, team accountability, and resident trust while you search for the right permanent hire

With a pre-negotiated plan in place, interim leadership can be activated within hours, reducing downtime from weeks to days.


Strategic Impact: Resilience, Readiness, and Recovery

Executives who prepare now avoid scrambling later. A proactive interim plan strengthens:

  • Operational continuity during transitions

  • Financial protection by reducing costly vacancy-driven NOI loss

  • Reputation with families, staff, and regulators through visible leadership

  • Agility to recover struggling buildings or reposition portfolios quickly

  • Peace of mind with leadership solutions ready on demand

Don’t wait for a crisis to act. Interim leadership is a strategic safeguard, protecting revenue, culture, and compliance while you rebuild a permanent team. Partner with Thrive On 365 to have a pre-negotiated support plan in place.
