Job Description
The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of aging-related issues, including common health conditions, cognitive decline, and mobility challenges. You will be adept at navigating the complexities of the healthcare system and community resources available to seniors. Responsibilities include conducting in-home assessments, developing and implementing care strategies, monitoring client progress, and making necessary adjustments to care plans. This role also requires exceptional crisis intervention skills and the ability to provide emotional support to both clients and their families during challenging times.
Collaboration is essential; you will work closely with physicians, therapists, social workers, and other professionals to create a holistic care approach. You will also be responsible for managing client records, ensuring confidentiality and accuracy. Strong organizational and time management skills are crucial for handling multiple cases effectively. While the role offers a hybrid work environment, some in-person visits to client homes and facilities within the Las Vegas, Nevada, US area are mandatory. A Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Gerontology, Nursing, or a related field is required. At least two years of experience in geriatric care, case management, or a similar role is preferred. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills are a must. A background check and drug screening will be required for this position.
