I just got a job as an adon. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I just want to do a great job, and help make the company ever more of a success. Thanks to you guys for listing you job duties, and what all your job entails. I'm even more excited and ready to get started! :yes:

I am a new ADON of a 120 bed SNF. Been there about 8 months and I never feel caught up or on task. Every Monday morning I feel like I get shot out of a cannon and can't keep up. For example, new resident follow up, weight system, family complaints or grievances, disciplinary actions, meetings, preparing the morning meetings, ect. Any time management advice?

Old thread but still helpful. I just accepted an ADON position at a large facility. Census runs about 140 I think I was told? Anyways, I almost cancelled the interview because I just didn't want to be on call ALL the time and the structure of a lot of facilities in St. Louis isn't as supportive as I would want. This facility has an ADON over rehab and then I will be ADON over Long term care . Each unit has a supervisor under me plus a charge. I'm anxious to get in there and get started
