    Job description

    Monday - Friday 9am -4pm

    At Thrive at Home, we have the privilege of getting to know our members over time—learning what matters to them and how they want to approach the future. When health circumstances change, those relationships allow us to provide support that is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in each member’s individual choices and goals.

    In this role, you’ll be a trusted partner to members and their families, helping older adults navigate the complexities of healthcare and long-term care services while supporting their desire to remain independent in the home and community of their choice. You’ll help members understand their options, coordinate services and resources, and navigate health changes, care transitions, and evolving needs.

    You’ll use your experience, judgment, and problem-solving skills to assess situations, anticipate needs, and determine appropriate next steps. You’ll collaborate closely with the Thrive at Home team, healthcare professionals, and community providers to ensure members receive coordinated and responsive support.

    Just as important is how you build relationships. We’re looking for someone who values connection, listens, communicates proactively, follows through on commitments, and helps members and families feel informed, supported, and heard—all while respecting their independence, preferences, and choices.

    We are an Equal Opportunity Employer

    EEO/AA/M/F/DV

    • Demonstrated experience coordinating services and navigating complex healthcare and community-based systems.
    • Experience communicating and connecting with older adults, adult children, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community providers.
    • Working knowledge of the continuum of care, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation, home health, non-medical home care, assisted living, memory care, palliative care, hospice, and community-based services.
    • Experience with care transitions and discharge planning strongly preferred.
    • Familiarity with long-term care insurance, aging resources, and community supports is highly desirable.
    • Demonstrated ability to independently manage a caseload, prioritize competing needs, follow through on commitments, and recognize when a situation requires escalation.
    • Strong assessment, problem-solving, documentation, communication, and relationship-building skills.

    What Will Make You Successful at Thrive at Home

    You are proactive, organized, and comfortable taking ownership of complex situations. You know how to gather the right information, identify resources, collaborate with others, and follow an issue through to resolution.

    Above all, you enjoy working with older adults and understand that successful aging in place is about more than arranging services. It is about knowing the person, understanding what matters to them, anticipating needs, and helping them remain as independent and in control of their life as possible.
