• Maintain thorough and timely documentation in alignment with departmental and regulatory standards.
• Leverage a strong network of community and regional resources to support patient needs.
• Assist with referrals, capacity determinations, legal processes (e.g., guardianship), mental health and abuse assessments, and end-of-life care planning.
• Facilitate and lead family meetings to align care plans and support decision-making.

What We're Looking For

• Strong clinical judgment, communication, and advocacy skills.
• A team player who's ready to lead, mentor, and make a meaningful impact every day.
