About The Position

Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization in Topeka, Kansas, dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Their mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas. The PACE program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity. Provides hands-on care and daily support to older adults enrolled in the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program, helping them remain safe and independent in their community. The role includes assisting participants with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, meals, and hydration, as well as escorting them to activities, therapies, and appointments within the center. CNAs/CMAs monitor participants for changes in health or behavior and report concerns to the nursing team, while also offering companionship and ensuring comfort, safety, and dignity. Those certified as CMAs may additionally assist with medication administration under supervision and according to state regulations. The position is typically part of a multidisciplinary care team and is often based in a weekday, daytime PACE center environment, with some roles including limited in-home or community support.
