Our culture and people are what set us apart from other post-acute care providers. We’re dedicated to the growth and development of our team to set them up for success. We CARE for our patients like they are our own FAMILY.

How You'll Make a Difference

At our agency, we care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient’s primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient's setting. As a Post-Acute Care Coordinator (PACC) the work you do every day makes a difference in the lives of our patients by providing patient healthcare coordination services.

What We Offer

We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance with flexibility for you to select what works best for you. Eligible teammates receive paid time off and may participate in the 401K, if they choose. Historically the company has matched 401K contributions which helps build your nest egg even faster. Finally, our benefit program includes company paid life, disability insurance, and a robust Employee Assistance Program.

How You'll Work

You’ll serve as a resource for patients to determine home care eligibility. You will also assist the organization in identifying future patients. You'll be responsible for all practices and duties within the scope of practice outlined by the state.

Major Areas of Responsibility

• Compliance: Determine home care eligibility and review patient insurances and medical documentation.
• Patient Care: Coordinate health care services as ordered by the attending physician.
• Discharge Planning: Assist hospital/facility personnel in the discharge planning process.
• Minimize Patient Risk: Ensure coordination of all ancillary services per the patients’ needs following discharge. Promote well-being of patients.
• Customer Service: Increase awareness of services offered and service account(s) to maintain facility relationships. Build and maintain lasting positive relationships with patients/clients and facility/hospital personnel, physicians and other team members.
• Patient Advocate: Function as a resource nurse/social worker for your patients.
• Policies: Review and complete all clinical documentation following agency protocol and Medicare/Federal guidelines.
• Collaboration: Participate in care conferences and coordination of case management. Notify the referring facility manager before contacting patients.
• Operations: Participate in Care Integration meetings.

Hard & Soft Skills

• Compassionate communicator with a positive attitude.
• Patience is a virtue when working with patients, families, physicians, and coworkers.
• Attention to detail is critical, as is being observant and following directions.
