Bring your MDS expertise to a 5-star Quality Measures team

Are you an LVN with MDS experience who wants weekday hours, a supportive team, and a facility that keeps getting better? Oceana Healthcare Center is a newly remodeled and rebranded skilled nursing facility in West Los Angeles, and we currently hold a 5-star CMS Quality Measures rating. That rating comes from our team’s attention to detail, and accurate MDS work is a big part of it.

• Strong benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, and paid time off

• Meaningful variety: experience across subacute, long-term care, and short-term skilled stays, the kind of breadth that builds a strong MDS career

• Support the RN MDS Coordinator in completing timely, accurate MDS 3.0 assessments for subacute, long-term care, and skilled residents

• Track assessment schedules and help ensure all OBRA and PPS deadlines are met

• Review clinical documentation in PointClickCare (PCC) and work with nursing and the interdisciplinary team to make sure it supports accurate coding

• Support quality measures, reimbursement accuracy, and survey readiness through careful, compliant MDS practices

What you’ll need
