Care Coordinator

Are you a social worker, senior living advisor, geriatric care manager, licensed practical nurse, or have similar experience working with seniors with dementia?

Do you enjoy helping seniors and their families navigate better outcomes along their elder care journey?

Would you enjoy an opportunity to connect with your clients in a meaningful way, without the long and unpredictable hours of many healthcare positions?

Then, we should definitely speak!

This person will help clients and their families make plans for the type of care they'll need, where they could get it, and how to get it in the best possible way.

The successful person at this job will be friendly, encouraging, and solutions-oriented, and make other people comfortable even in troubling times. You would build relationships with your clients and with other professionals in the senior care community.

You'll need to be organized, flexible, and dedicated to ongoing improvement in your role and how you do it. This is a new position, and your enthusiasm for new challenges and welcoming new clients and referral sources will be key.
