About The Position

Our culture and people are what set us apart from other post-acute care providers. We’re dedicated to the growth and development of our team to set them up for success. We CARE for our patients like they are our own FAMILY. As a Registered Nurse (RN) the work you do every day makes a difference in the lives of our patients. Our nurses give our patients the greatest gift – the ability to spend enhanced quality time with their loved ones in their preferred environment. As a RN you will have the opportunity to provide one on one patient care and work at the top of your license. You will utilize your leadership skills in coordinating care and provide home-based nursing care for patients as directed by an attending physician. You'll be part of an interdisciplinary team that focuses on providing compassionate quality care and producing positive outcomes for your patient population. Interacting with patients' families while caring for your patients and experiencing the rewarding privilege to be part of every step of their recovery journey. Home care provides context and real-world perspective about what will really help patients restore their health. Post-acute care is at the center of improving health outcomes. We care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient’s primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient’s setting. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve away from hospital-centric care, our work, caring for patients in their homes becomes more important than ever. Our success helping patients recover comes from engaging with them. We start at the facility bedside and coordinate each patient's transition back to their home, ensuring a smooth transition and that their care plan is right for them. We support complex, high-acuity, medically-at-risk aging patients. This is the most challenging group of individuals to serve, and we find it the most rewarding. And we do this all in partnership with health systems. Together we create a seamless care environment that enables patients to receive excellent care in the setting that best meets their needs.
