Services

An experienced leader in the building, while you find the right one.

When the executive director seat is empty, the community can't wait for the search. Mainspring places seasoned, state-licensed executive directors and administrators on an interim basis — during a search, a transition, or through a turnaround.

When communities call us

  • The executive director or administrator seat is open, or turning over repeatedly
  • A leadership departure is coming and there's no internal successor
  • The community is in a turnaround that needs a steadier hand than a first-time hire
  • Ownership needs an operator's read on the building while deciding what's next

What the work includes

  • Day-to-day leadership of the community: staffing, census, compliance, family relations, and the P&L
  • A 30/60/90 stabilization plan delivered in the first week on-site
  • Weekly written reporting to ownership — census, labor, compliance, cash
  • Agency and overtime spend attacked first; the schedule rebuilt to hold
  • Support for the permanent search, and a documented handoff to the hire

A leader, with a firm behind them.

Our interims have run buildings through state surveys and census recoveries, and they arrive with Mainspring behind them — playbooks, reporting cadence, and a network of nurse consultants when the building needs clinical depth. Placements are matched to your state's administrator licensure requirements.
