Job Description
The Home Health Nurse RN role offers a unique opportunity to help build the first PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program in the District of Columbia.
PACE is a Federally Funded comprehensive, fully integrated, provider-based health plan designed to allow frail elderly people to age in the location of their choosing and continue to lead connected meaningful lives.
What Makes this opportunity so unique?
PACE takes an interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach to care provision that includes doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, dietitians, personal care aides, transportation drivers, and others. Participants’ needs are assessed, and an individualized care plan is developed to respond to all of their needs. Our IDT Team members have equal voice and consideration when developing care plans. As the Home Health Nurse RN, you will be one of the eyes and ears in the field. We also take personal safety very seriously and use the “team visit” approach to home care so that no employee is in a client’s home alone.
This is a high-profile position with a track for growth into various management opportunities including nurse management, facility management, and/or program management.
Together with our coalition of strong partners within the community, the Home Health Nurse RN will work closely with the Clinic Manager RN to carry out Skyland PACE’s clinical model of care and have a transformative impact on a particularly under-served community in Wards 7 and 8.
