Medical Assistant Care Coordinator – Assisted Living 360° Care Model

 

Position Summary

The Medical Assistant Care Coordinator is the on-site backbone of a comprehensive 360° geriatric care model within an assisted living community, orchestrating how residents move through and experience the full continuum of medical and supportive services. This role blends clinical support, care coordination, and high-touch relationship management to align the Nurse Practitioner (NP), assisted living staff, families, and Interim HealthCare programs into one cohesive, resident-centered care experience.

 

Embedded in the community, the Care Coordinator connects primary care with Home Health, Hospice, Palliative Care, Therapy, Staffing, and Private Duty services, helping ensure that each resident receives the right level of care at the right time while reducing gaps, delays, and fragmentation. The position requires strong professional communication, EMR proficiency (eClinicalWorks and Axxess), and a calm, consistent presence that residents, families, and staff can rely on throughout the day.

 

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

Care Coordination & Resident Support

 


Serve as the primary on-site care coordination contact for residents, families, assisted living staff, the NP, and all applicable Interim HealthCare service lines.
Coordinate and manage NP scheduling, visit logistics, and follow-up needs, including labs, diagnostics, and external physician appointments, without making independent clinical decisions.
Receive and organize requests from assisted living staff and families (urgent vs. routine), routing them appropriately to the NP or relevant service line.
Help identify residents who may benefit from Home Health, Hospice, Palliative Care, Therapy, Staffing, or Private Duty services based on observed changes, facility reports, or caregiver concerns, escalating to the NP or appropriate clinician for evaluation.
Support timely transitions between levels of care and Interim business lines by coordinating non-clinical referral logistics (paperwork, communication, scheduling) once clinical decisions have been made.
Manage and track follow-up on phone calls from the facility, residents, and families; ensure lab results, imaging, and test outcomes are routed, acknowledged, and acted upon by the appropriate clinician.


 

Clinical & Administrative Support (Within MA Scope, PRN)

 


Provide limited, PRN clinical support within Medical Assistant scope of practice at the direction of the NP (for example, obtaining basic measurements or assisting during on-site NP visits as needed).
Assist with specimen collection and processing for labs, when requested and within scope.
Promptly escalate any observed or reported changes in resident condition, concerns, or urgent issues to the NP or designated clinician rather than independently assessing or treating.
Maintain readiness of basic clinical supplies and portable equipment used by the NP and other Interim clinicians in the building.

Help prepare charts, manage order entry workflows, and complete follow-up tasks related to labs, diagnostics, referrals, and service-line orders.
Maintain basic tracking systems/logs for pending labs, diagnostics, referrals, prior authorizations, and service-line referrals to ensure closed-loop follow-up.
Obtain and upload outside clinical records (hospital/SNF discharges, specialist notes) into the EMR or NP workflow, in accordance with privacy regulations.


 

Resident Engagement & Community Presence

 


Maintain a consistent, visible, and professional presence within the assisted living community throughout scheduled work hours.
Build rapport with residents and families; answer basic non-clinical questions and help them understand how to access NP services and Interim HealthCare programs.
Direct all clinical questions, medical concerns, and treatment decisions to the NP or appropriate clinician.
Serve as a positive, trusted representative of Interim HealthCare and the NP practice within the community.


 

Facility & Business-Line Liaison
