We are ACHC accrediteed and have been serving the San Diego and Riverside community for 20+ years. We specialize in pediatrics, dependant adults, and senior care. We're a growing team with strong opportunities for advancement, and we're looking for a dedicated Registered Nurse to join us as a Home Health Case Manager.

Position Summary

The Home Health Case Manager (RN) is responsible for coordinating and delivering skilled nursing care to home health patients. Cases in South and Southeast San Diego County will be assigned first, with the flexibility to also cover Central San Diego as caseload needs require. To guarantee full-time hours, candidates must be flexible and willing to take on one-to-one care shifts during the ramp-up period while a full case management caseload is being built.

This role also offers a clear path into leadership: over time, the right candidate will grow into assisting the Director of Nursing and taking on oversight of our LVN field staff. This is a full-time position requiring flexibility to reach full-time hours, along with regular in-person collaboration with the team and ongoing on-call responsibilities as outlined below.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a home health caseload, providing skilled nursing visits and coordinating the overall plan of care, with cases assigned in South and Southeast San Diego County and flexibility to cover Central San Diego as needed.

• Take on one-to-one care shifts as needed during ramp-up to ensure full-time hours are met while a full caseload is being established.

• Complete OASIS assessments accurately and in accordance with CMS guidelines and timelines.

• Document all patient care, assessments, and care plan updates in Axxess.

• Collaborate with physicians, therapists, and other members of the interdisciplinary team to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care.

• Grow into a leadership role by assisting the Director of Nursing and learning to oversee LVN field staff.

• Attend a weekly in-person team meeting at the Carlsbad office.

• Attend one quarterly Saturday meeting.

• Participate in the after-hours on-call phone rotation, approximately once per month once fully trained, transitioning to a 50/50 rotation split with the Director of Nursing in 6 months.

• Maintain compliance with all agency, state, and federal home health regulations.

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted California RN license.

• Minimum of 6 months of home health nursing experience required; candidates without home health experience must have at least 1 year of acute care experience.

• High copetency level in charting.

• Experience with OASIS and the Axxess EMR system highly preferred; the right candidate will be trained.

• Reliable transportation and flexibility to travel throughout South, Southeast, and Central San Diego County as caseload requires.

• Flexibility to take on additional cases or coverage, including one-to-one care shifts during ramp-up, as needed to reach and maintain full-time hours.

• Strong clinical assessment, communication, and time-management skills.

• Interest in growing into a leadership role, with the ability to mentor and eventually oversee LVN field staff.

Schedule

• Full-time, with flexibility required to meet caseload demands, including one-to-one care shifts during ramp-up.

• One in-person meeting per week at the Carlsbad office.

• One quarterly meeting on a Saturday.

• On-call rotation approximately once a month after training, moving to a 50/50 split with the Director of Nursing.

Why Join Dependable Nursing
