Job description

Social Worker/Dementia Navigator

Organization Overview

At Memory Care Home Solutions, we believe families shouldn’t face dementia alone. As a nonprofit organization grounded in compassion and powered by evidence-based care, we equip families with the tools, strategies, and emotional support they need to help loved ones with dementia live safely and meaningfully at home.

MCHS was founded to fill a critical gap of providing personalized, home-based services that support both the person living with dementia and their care partners. Today, our mission-driven team includes staff, board members, volunteers, and donors who often have their own personal stories of dementia caregiving. That shared commitment creates a deeply connected, collaborative culture.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Position Overview

The Social Worker or Dementia Navigator provides compassionate, evidence-based support for people living with dementia and their caregiving families, helping them navigate the challenges of the dementia journey and access the resources they need to thrive. This role delivers services in the community, via telehealth, and at Memory Care Home Solutions’ headquarters and specialized caregiver training environment. In this position, the Social Worker or Dementia Navigator addresses mental health and caregiving challenges specific to dementia, provides dementia-specific education, connects clients with community resources, and offers ongoing guidance and support as needs evolve over time. You’ll also provide educational outreach to healthcare professionals and community groups, helping to expand understanding and awareness of dementia care in the broader community. Reporting to the Director of Programs, this is a full-time (40 hours/week) role.
