You will participate in creating and updating individualized care plans, document patient responses, report changes promptly, and collaborate with physicians, social workers, and therapy teams to optimize comfort, safety, and quality of life. The position supports professional growth in geriatrics, offering access to ongoing education, certifications, and leadership development opportunities that recognize expertise in chronic disease management, palliative principles, and age-specific care planning.
