About The Position

The Clinical Care Coordinator – LTAC Transitions facilitates safe, timely, and well-coordinated transitions of patients from Long-Term Acute Care (LTAC) settings to lower—but medically appropriate—levels of care, including skilled nursing facilities, subacute units, or home and community-based programs. Working within a hybrid model, the Coordinator spends designated days on-site at partner LTACs to participate in care rounds, engage with discharge planners, and coordinate directly with facility teams, while performing administrative and follow-up tasks remotely on non-onsite days. This position serves as the operational bridge between LTAC staff, Presidium providers, external facilities, and community partners—ensuring continuity, compliance, and strong communication across all transitions of care.
