This role focuses on providing high-touch, personalized support to aging clients and their families, many of whom live out of state and rely on us as their trusted local advocate. Our care managers help families navigate complex medical, social, and care planning decisions while ensuring clients receive the highest quality care and support.

• Develop and oversee individualized care plans

• Provide ongoing support, guidance, and education to families

Why This Role Is Unique

Geriatric Care Management offers a level of flexibility and autonomy that is rare in traditional healthcare roles. Care managers structure their day around client needs rather than a traditional 9-5 schedule. The work includes a mix of in-home visits, care coordination, family communication, advocacy, and problem-solving, making every day different.

Travel is a regular part of this role. Care managers spend a significant amount of time in the field visiting clients, attending appointments, and coordinating care throughout Northern New Jersey.

This is a relationship-based role. Successful care managers enjoy getting to know their clients, earning the trust of families, and serving as a consistent source of support through both everyday needs and times of crisis.

While the schedule is flexible, the work can be fast-paced and emotionally demanding. Some days are spent helping a client enjoy lunch or attending a routine doctor's appointment. Other days involve hospitalizations, family conflict, difficult decisions, or urgent care coordination. Flexibility goes both ways, and care managers must be comfortable adapting as client needs change.

This role is ideal for a clinician who is compassionate, resourceful, self-motivated, and genuinely passionate about improving the lives of older adults. If you are looking for meaningful work where you can make a lasting impact on clients and their families, you'll find it here.

Benefits include:

• Medical insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Flexible work hours
• 401(k) retirement savings plan + 401k match
• Flexible PTO
• Mileage Reimbursement
• Cellphone and computer provided
