In this role, you will provide focused care in nursing facilities, helping to reduce readmissions and improve recovery for patients during their most vulnerable moments, right after a hospital stay. We train in our model. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy a flexible schedule, strong team support, and the autonomy to manage your day without micromanagement. You will be the on-site clinical expert, making a tangible difference in the lives of geriatric patients and those undergoing rehabilitation.

Our company is a national post-acute care organization that champions value-based medicine across the healthcare continuum. We deliver physical medicine and rehab-led clinical services within skilled nursing facilities, partnering closely with therapy teams, primary care physicians, and facility staff. Our innovative model includes not only your on-site expert care but also a robust 90-day post-discharge follow-up program managed by our care coordination team, ensuring patients have the support they need to safely transition home and avoid rehospitalization.

This position involves a consistent but flexible weekday daytime schedule, typically Monday through Friday, with the flexibility to manage your own hours as long as patient needs are met. You will enjoy exceptional job satisfaction stemming from a supportive, family-like culture that values your expertise, offers a true work-life balance with no nights, weekends, or call requirements, and provides the modern tools needed to complete documentation efficiently, often from the comfort of your own home.

• Collaborate closely with physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as primary care physicians and facility staff, to develop and adjust individualized recovery plans.
• Monitor readmission risks, help close gaps in post-acute care, and participate in weekly Medicare meetings to discuss patient progress and barriers to discharge.
• Utilize EHR system (Doc Now, integrated with PointClickCare) to complete accurate and timely documentation within 48-72 hours, often remotely.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Nursing and current certification as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA-C) from an accredited program.
• Active, unrestricted NP or PA license in the state of Illinois, with prescriptive authority.
• Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in geriatrics, post-acute care, or a related field; experience in nursing facilities is strongly preferred.
• Strong clinical skills in assessing and managing barriers to recovery, including rehabilitation, pain, and chronic conditions.
• Excellent communication and time-management abilities to handle brief, efficient patient encounters.
• Proficiency with EHR systems and remote documentation.
• Ability to work independently with a high level of autonomy and consistency.

Benefits

We offer a highly competitive compensation and benefits package: $150,000-$160,000+ total compensation!

• Competitive base salary, typically $125,000–$135,000 annually, dependent on experience.
• Monthly RVU bonus averaging $2,000+ per month ($25,000+ per year)
• Comprehensive health benefits package.
• Paid time off to support your work-life balance.
• Professional development opportunities and training.
• Provision of remote charting tools and necessary supplies.

Schedule

• Full-Time, flexible 40 hours per week.
