Additionally, you will create and communicate client-centered recommendations for care, resources, education, and support, while assisting in the implementation and oversight of these plans.

Your responsibilities also include providing client-centered problem-solving, ongoing support, and advocacy. You will arrange for and accompany clients to medical appointments, provide feedback to families, and ensure medical orders are followed. Furthermore, you will offer support and education to family members coping with loss, dementia, illness, and change. This role requires daily documentation of billing and interventions, as well as attendance at weekly in-person supervision with the Director of Clinical Services, monthly group supervision, staff meetings, and facility tours. You will also attend professional development programs to obtain and maintain licensure and certification, abiding by the Standards of Practice for Aging Life Care Professionals as determined by ALCA.
