About The Position

The Clinical Care Leader (CCL) uses the nursing process—assessment, diagnosis, outcomes and planning, implementation, and evaluation—to provide individualized nursing care in the home setting. Daily responsibilities include MDS coding, Medicare processes, physician certifications, admissions, and care planning. The role also includes an on-call rotation for weekends and holidays, including three holidays per year and one weekend per month. The CCL collaborates with interprofessional colleagues to plan, implement, and evaluate care; documents resident history, symptoms, medications, and care provided in accordance with applicable standards and regulations; and uses technology to support quality resident care. The role includes coordinating care, assessing and educating residents, triage, and other nursing interventions. The CCL delegates to and supervises unlicensed personnel, assumes nursing accountability for a resident assignment, and may serve in leadership roles on department or organizational task forces and committees.
