• Manage admissions paperwork and insurance verification. Compile admission packets, verify insurance for new admissions, and ensure paperwork is complete before forwarding it to the business office. Follow up with responsible parties and family members to obtain missing documentation.

• Confirm room readiness. Ensure rooms are in move-in condition before residents arrive and coordinate any necessary follow-up with the appropriate department heads.

• Communicate with partners and service providers. Maintain the partner rotation list, notify partners of new admissions, and fax face sheets to the pharmacy, laboratory, and other ancillary agencies.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and strong organizational, communication, and customer service skills.

• Ability to read, write, and speak English in an understandable manner.

• Ability to work independently with flexibility and personal integrity while collaborating effectively with residents, families, staff, and support agencies.
