As a home health care specialist in the field, your days won’t be spent in an office or on the floor of a hospital. You’ll care for your patients in their homes, where you’ll have the opportunity to build relationships and get a glimpse into their lives that most health care providers aren’t able to see. By observing their environment, you may even find that you’re able to treat patients more effectively.

In addition, you’ll be part of a team that provides high-quality care to each patient. You’ll work more independently than you might in a clinic, hospital, or medical office, but you’ll never be isolated from your colleagues.

And you’ll receive plenty of support. While you’re in the field seeing patients, our clinical specialists, education staff, and managers are always just a phone call away.

The following are just some of the careers in home health care at Lifeline Healthcare :

You will also have access to the many classroom-based and in-service training programs offered to all our employees.

Social Workers

In Lifeline Healthcare a social worker’s principal role is to act as a patient’s “Health Advocate” and plays a “Keystone Role” to coordinating the care provided by an increasing number of disparate specialists and technicians, each of whom is concerned with only a single aspect of an individual’s overall medical condition. As a keystone, a social worker oversees these interactions professionally and ties them together as cost-effectively as possible, just as a keystone unites and caps the sides of a structure. He also protects the patient from medical malpractices and overcharges by medical caregivers.

As a Home Healthcare Social Worker, you’ll have a variety of programs and patient populations from which to choose at Lifeline Healthcare, from community mental health services, long-term care, and acute/short-term adult care to hospice care and a variety of children and family-focused services. You may provide services in the home, work in a community-based setting, or as a member of a Mobile Crisis Team. You may provide direct services, supervise, head a program, or collaborate with colleagues, community agencies, and funders to develop new initiatives.

A Great Place to Work

Our work is challenging, but it’s rewarding. Our nurses, therapists, and other members of the service-delivery team work one-on-one with their patients and their families, often developing strong bonds that are not possible in other health care settings. Many of our clinicians work in or near their neighborhoods. They experience a strong sense of community when current and former patients wave to them or say hello as they walk in the street. Our clinical staffs also enjoy flexibility in setting their duty schedules. Many find that this autonomy makes home health care a less stressful environment than a hospital.

At Lifeline Healthcare, we appreciate the wealth of knowledge each employee brings to the organization, and we welcome opportunities to learn from each other. We rely on the diversity of experiences, expertise, and ideas of our colleagues to point the way toward improvements and innovations across the organization — from the programs and services we offer to technology and research.

Challenging Work

Providing health care is demanding, no doubt about it. And part of the excitement of home health care is that no two days are exactly alike. Whether you are a nurse seeking to relieve acute attack of an asthmatic patient, an occupational therapist, helping a stroke victim to use her hand again, or a social worker helping to safeguard a patient from possible medical malpractice and overbilling by any caregivers, each day and each patient present different experiences and challenges.

To help employees succeed, Lifeline Healthcare provides the right tools: a solid orientation and our continued monitoring and support systems to get you onboard. Continued support and in-service training to develop required skills, and development opportunities prepare you for today’s demands and tomorrow’s rewards.

As a home health care specialist, you might not work in an office setting where your colleagues are down the hall, but you’re always part of a supportive team in a helpful environment. You’ll rely on the expertise of experienced colleagues. When you are in the field, an educator, manager, or other expert is only a phone call away. Our goal is to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to handle new and more complex challenges as you grow as a home health care specialist.

Our rotational duty roster enables you to explore new options, whether that’s a move to a different area, an assignment to a different specialty, or assuming a new role within Lifeline Healthcare.
