More about MOUNTAIN EMPIRE OLDER CITIZENS INC
As a nurse on this team you can expect assessments, interdisciplinary care planning, wounds, post-hospital follow-up, and transitions, with a Clinical Oversight-style caseload described as roughly half of enrolled participants. The organization has been the Area Agency on Aging and a public transit provider for Wise, Lee, and Scott counties and the City of Norton since 1974. The stated goal is straightforward: help people of all ages, including older adults, live at home safely. PACE adds Medicare/Medicaid-covered healthcare and support so qualified participants can remain independent. Shift differentials for NOC and weekend shifts appear on the PACE Nurse Care Coordinator RN posting, so nights and weekends are part of the picture. Big Stone Gap brings a short average drive and a lower cost of living, with the tradeoff that walkable amenities, transit, and nearby health facilities are thinner than in a larger city.
Help every individual live at home safely; PACE and home-support programs keep qualified older adults independent in the community rather than in institutions.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- PACE nursing focused on keeping older adults home with assessments, IDT, wounds, and transitions
- Clinical caseload work described with real scope (about half of enrolled participants for Clinical Oversight Manager)
- Shift differentials for NOC and weekend shifts on PACE RN posting
- Serving the same mountain counties since 1974 as Area Agency on Aging
- Lower-than-average cost of living and roughly 14-minute average commute in Big Stone Gap
The hard parts
- Thinner access to nearby health facilities than larger markets
- Public transit not readily available; most people drive
- Sparse walkable amenities and weaker local employment metrics
What to weigh
Nearby health-facility access is thinner than in larger markets, and public transit is not readily available, so you will almost certainly drive.
