- Instruct and train family members and caregivers in techniques to support the patient's communication and swallowing safety.
- Evaluate the home environment and make appropriate safety and functional recommendations.
- Observe, document, and report patient response to treatment; submit progress reports to the physician and agency at required intervals and at discharge.
- Collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, PT/OT, and case managers as part of the interdisciplinary care team.
- Participate in care conferences, in-service education, and staff development activities.
- Utilize community resources and appropriate referrals to support the patient's overall plan of care.
- Accurately document all evaluations, treatment, and progress notes in the EMR (WellSky) in accordance with agency, Medicare, and regulatory guidelines.
- Participate in Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) activities as assigned.

- Strong assessment, documentation, and patient education skills.
- Comfortable working independently while staying closely connected to a small, collaborative clinical team.
- Proficiency with EMR and clinical documentation systems.
- Current driver's license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance for travel throughout San Diego County.
- Bilingual (Russian/English) a plus, not required.
Why Be More Home Health?
We're a smaller, founder-led agency - not a large corporate chain - where clinicians work closely with leadership and have a real voice in how patient care is delivered. Our leadership team includes a working RN with a nurse educator background, so clinical judgment and patient education are central to how we operate, not an afterthought.
