The Nurse Practitioner will operate in an onsite Assisted Living Facility, working closely with a multidisciplinary care team comprised of physicians, physician assistants, medical assistants, a dedicated medical scribe, and support staff. Our collaborative work environment promotes open communication and teamwork, allowing you to focus on the quality of care rather than the volume of patients.

• Coordinate care with other healthcare providers, specialists, testing facilities, and community agencies to foster comprehensive patient management.
• Lead population health initiatives, such as ensuring that all eligible patients receive preventive screenings and vaccinations.
• Assist the care team by engaging in phone triage and proactive outreach to patients.
• Educate patients and their families about health conditions, treatment options, and care plans, empowering them to be active participants in their care.
• Participate in community engagement and promotional activities, advocating for healthy lifestyles and preventive care.
• Conduct home visits as needed to accommodate patients with mobility issues or those requiring specialized attention.
• Report directly to the Medical Director, collaborating closely with operational leadership to enhance our service delivery.

Patient Population / Client Focus

Your primary focus will be providing high-quality primary care to older adults on Medicare, many of whom may have complex health needs. This patient population often requires a deep understanding of geriatrics, chronic disease management, and a compassionate approach to care. Your ability to build lasting relationships with these patients will be key in fostering trust and ensuring adherence to care plans.

Qualifications

• Master of Science in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, or completion of an accredited Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program.
• National certification as a Family, Adult, or Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner through AANP or ANCC.
• Current, non-probationary Nurse Practitioner license in New York State.
• Active DEA license for prescription management.
• Experience in primary care settings, particularly focusing on internal medicine, geriatrics, or family medicine.
• Established understanding of HCC documentation, ICD-10 coding, and Health Risk Assessments (HRAs).
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills, necessary for working effectively in a multi-disciplinary healthcare environment.

Preferred Experience

• Previous experience in outpatient settings or assisted living facilities.
• Familiarity with electronic health records (EHR) systems for effective documentation and patient management.
• Proven track record of population health management, including preventive care and chronic disease management.

Compensation and Benefits

The competitive salary for this position ranges from USD 120,000 to 160,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications. In addition to a comprehensive salary, we offer a robust benefits package that includes health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and continuing education opportunities to promote your professional growth.
