Supported by the dedicated Lifeguard RN and 24 / 7 monitoring from our alert center, Lifeguard offers a unique service that enhances clients' safety and confidence in living independently.

Position Overview :

As a Lifeguard Nurse, your role is to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients who are living independently at home.

• Developing and updating personalized Wellness Plans for each client, including goals and strategies about their well-being.
• Explore and understand the data insights available through Lifeguard’s platform.
• Partner with Lifeguard Customer Support Team to resolve any technology issues arising in client homes that impede insight generation.
• Providing regular updates to client families and agencies, including observations on their overall health and wellness, through a weekly report and monthly summary.
• Reporting incidents on a timely basis to the appointed family member or caregiver.
• During working hours, be readily available to take calls from clients on an as-needed basis.
• Answer questions and provide coaching to clients and family as needed.
• Actively share your perspective with the Lifeguard Team on how we can support our clients and improve the services we offer.
• Document and complete forms accurately and comprehensively.
• Stay abreast of best practices and advances in geriatric care.
