- Participate in care plan discussions, facility meetings, and case collaborations as needed.
- Maintain complete and timely documentation using our Geriatric Notes Tool (GNT).
- Follow ethical, professional, and regulatory guidelines for clinical documentation, confidentiality, and care delivery.
- Build strong, professional relationships with facility staff and leadership.
- Serve as a behavioral health resource and trusted partner in supporting residents' mental and emotional needs.
We are a provider-centric organization that takes pride in supporting our clinicians with the tools, training, and benefits they need to succeed.
