POSITION SUMMARY

The Care Manager plays a vital role in supporting prospective and current clients  to live safely and comfortably at home. This position is responsible for managing client intakes, conducting in-home assessments, developing customized care plans, and providing ongoing case management. As a trusted liaison between families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, you will ensure every client receives responsive, high-quality care tailored to their evolving needs.

This role requires local travel (30–40%) to client homes, hospitals, and care facilities within the agency’s service area. The ideal candidate is compassionate, organized, emotionally intelligent, and able to build trust quickly with diverse populations.

Key Responsibilities

Client Intake & Assessment

  • Serve as the first point of contact for new client inquiries, educating families about services and guiding them through the intake process with empathy and professionalism.
  • Respond promptly to inquiries from referral sources, prospective clients, existing clients, and employees—both during business hours and after hours, as part of a shared on-call rotation.
  • Follow up on pending leads and conduct regularly scheduled check-in calls with clients and families to ensure continued satisfaction.
  • Conduct in-home or on-site assessments to evaluate health conditions, home safety, social and emotional needs, and personal care preferences.
  • Develop and maintain individualized care plans that promote safety, independence, and quality of life.
  • Clearly communicate care recommendations, services, and next steps to clients and families.
  • Perform regular quality assurance and follow-up visits to ensure ongoing satisfaction and appropriateness of care.
Care Coordination

  • Collaborate with the scheduling  to match clients with the most appropriate caregivers and communicate care needs effectively.
  • Monitor care quality through regular client check-ins, caregiver feedback, and ongoing plan updates.
  • Serve as a coach and resource to caregiver teams, providing guidance to ensure continuity and excellence in care delivery.
  • Maintain accurate, HIPAA-compliant documentation of all client assessments, interactions, and care changes.
Client Advocacy

  • Identify broader client needs, such as home modifications, nutrition support, or social engagement, and coordinate referrals to appropriate community resources.
  • Provide empathetic support to clients and families who may be uncertain or hesitant about accepting care, offering practical solutions that inspire confidence.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality regarding all client and employee information.
Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Nursing, Gerontology, or a related field (or equivalent experience in care coordination, case management, or healthcare).
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in home care, senior services, or healthcare-related roles.
  • Demonstrated ability to build trust and communicate effectively with older adults, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
  • Solid knowledge of home care protocols, client assessment techniques, and care planning best practices.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and comfortable using care management systems and other health care related software
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills; ability to communicate clearly, tactfully, and diplomatically with individuals of all backgrounds and ages.
  • Strong time management and organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and complete work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Professional demeanor with a polished, well-groomed presentation that reflects the company’s high standards.
  • Ability to remain flexible, calm, and resourceful under pressure—and maintain a positive attitude and sense of humor in a fast-paced environment.
  • Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance are required.
  • Must be eligible to work lawfully in the U.S. and pass a criminal background check and LiveScan fingerprinting.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
