The short version
Hospice and home health case management rooted in Iowa City's community care tradition
Iowa Care Community pairs RNs with long-term patient relationships across hospice and home health settings, blending autonomous field work with interdisciplinary team coordination. The model demands comfort with end-of-life care and significant documentation, but centers on meaningful, relationship-based nursing.
Nursing here
Nurses work a hybrid of independent field visits and collaborative interdisciplinary engagement, serving patients in homes and care facilities. The culture is described as compassionate, patient-centered, and mission-driven, with emphasis on dignity and quality of life. Tradeoffs include limited immediate on-site clinical support during field work and notable coordination and documentation burdens inherent to case management. An Indeed listing shows a 4.4-star employer rating across 28 reviews, and a job posting references Wellmark medical and dental coverage, a 403(b) retirement plan with company match, 19 days of annual vacation, and generous paid time off.
