Nurse Practitioner, Longevity Care in Senior Living (In-Person Contract)
About The Position
Total Life connects adults 65+ with licensed clinicians for behavioral health, geriatric care and longevity services, covered by Medicare, Railroad Medicare and major commercial insurers. Since 2021 we've grown to more than 200 credentialed providers serving patients in 49 states. Most longevity medicine is built for healthy 40-year-olds. Ours is built for older adults. The Longevity Program combines a comprehensive geriatric assessment with chronic disease management, cognitive health, medication review and weight management, organized around five pillars of healthy aging: sleep, nutrition, movement, mental health and social connection. It works alongside a patient's existing care and never replaces their primary care provider.
Requirements
- Active, unrestricted listing on the Colorado APRN Registry as a nurse practitioner with the Colorado Board of Nursing, plus an active Colorado or multistate RN license (a multistate RN compact license does not cover APRN practice)

- Current national NP board certification
- Active DEA registration and registration with the Colorado Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
- Clinical experience caring for adults 65+
