Licensed Practical Nurse New

Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is seeking a dedicated and highly skilled LPN passionate about making a difference in the lives of senior adults to join our CHA PACE Program. The PACE model, or Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is considered the gold standard for community-based integrated care, as it allows seniors with chronic care needs to maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life in their homes and communities for as long as possible.

CHA PACE serves adults ages 55 and older with chronic medical and/or mental health difficulties with the goals of achieving the highest level of community independence and preventing nursing home placement. Our high-functioning interdisciplinary team works to fully integrate and coordinate medical and behavioral health care, community resources, and in-home support services into the care plans of our participants.

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is a crucial member of the PACE Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), providing coordinated nursing care to PACE program participants in their own homes, as well as in the PACE day clinic. In collaboration with the RN and IDT, the LPN contributes to the assessment, development, and implementation of participants’ overall plans of care while utilizing evidence-based nursing interventions to support these comprehensive care plans. In addition, the LPN communicates the current status of participants to the RN, including new problems or problems indicating a significant change in status, in order to inform best practices for continued care. This is a home care position with cross-coverage in clinic triage as needed.

We are currently offering a $5,000 sign-on bonus for newly hired PACE LPNs!

Qualifications:

• Graduation from an accredited licensed practical school of nursing
• 1-year experience in geriatrics preferred
