Who they are
Soul Care Service is a home health care organization based in Des Plaines, Illinois, providing coordinated nursing care to patients in their place of residence. The organization employs registered nurses for both home health nursing and long-term care (LTC) assessment roles.
More about Soul Care Service
Home health nurses deliver comprehensive, goal-focused care plans developed in partnership with patients, their representatives, caregivers, and physicians. LTC nurses conduct one-time hands-off assessments to establish client qualification for in-home services through insurance carriers, including documenting medical history, medications, cognitive and mental status, home environment safety, and ADL/IADL observations. The organization appears to be a smaller home health provider serving the Illinois market. Job descriptions emphasize personal qualities such as empathy, non-judgmental attitudes, tact, adaptability, and emotional maturity, suggesting a patient-centered care philosophy. Nurses are expected to work autonomously in home settings, requiring reliable transportation and valid Illinois driver's license. The employer seeks candidates with at least two years of acute care or home care experience, though this is preferred rather than required. Baccalaureate degrees are also preferred but not mandatory.
The soulcare.com blog content references organizational culture as 'what it feels like to work here' and emphasizes that culture drives results, though this may represent a related but distinct entity.
