Ready to use your nursing experience differently?
Imagine having the time to truly know your clients, advocate for what matters most to them, and help older adults preserve independence while working alongside a supportive interdisciplinary team.
Care Management by Natalie (CMN) anticipates adding a Care Manager to our team within the next six months. While we do not have an immediate opening, we are intentionally building relationships with nurses who may be considering a lifestyle change and are looking for meaningful, relationship based work.
This opportunity is ideal for nurses who enjoy flexible schedules, problem solving, building relationships, and guiding older adults and families through complex situations with compassion and clarity.
Who We Are
Care Management by Natalie is a private geriatric care management practice serving older adults and their families throughout Washtenaw County.
Our interdisciplinary team includes nurses, aging specialists, social workers, and dietitians who focus on the whole individual.
We believe that aging can be navigated with greater confidence, connection, and purpose when people have the right support and advocacy.
Our mission is to advocate for older adults in all aspects of their lives while helping preserve independence, dignity, and quality of life.
About the Role
Our Care Managers are advocates, coordinators, educators, and problem solvers.
This is a non clinical and non hands on role. Nursing education and experience are highly valued, but you will not be practicing bedside nursing.
You will work closely with older adults and their families to:
- Conduct comprehensive assessments and develop individualized care plans
- Coordinate communication between physicians, families, and service providers
- Attend medical appointments and advocate for clients
- Navigate hospitalizations, new diagnoses, and care transitions
- Connect families with community resources and support services
- Guide families through long term planning and future care decisions
- Support clients through changing needs and complex situations
- Collaborate closely with our interdisciplinary team
- Document assessments, communication, and client updates accurately and promptly
Why Nurses Love This Role
- Meaningful relationships with clients and families
- Time to truly understand the whole person
- Flexible scheduling and autonomy
- Collaboration with a supportive interdisciplinary team
- Meaningful problem solving and advocacy
- A sustainable alternative to traditional nursing roles
- The opportunity to make a lasting impact on older adults and families
Who Thrives Here?
This role is often a great fit for nurses who:
- Are feeling burned out by traditional healthcare settings and want a different pace of work
- Want to build meaningful, long term relationships with older adults and families
- Enjoy problem solving, advocacy, and helping people navigate complex situations
- Value flexibility, autonomy, and creative thinking
- Want to use their nursing knowledge without the physical demands and pressures of bedside care
- Are looking for work that aligns with their values and allows them to make a lasting impact
- Are interested in growing alongside a mission driven organization and open to future leadership opportunities as the company evolves
Training and Timing Expectations
We are intentionally building relationships with nurses in anticipation of a future opening within the next six months. This opportunity is ideal for someone who is thoughtfully considering their next chapter and is not seeking an immediate employment change.
Because our work is highly individualized and relationship based, we anticipate a four to six week onboarding and training period with a gradual increase in hours and responsibilities before moving toward a full time caseload.
The ideal candidate ultimately desires full time employment and understands that meaningful care management takes time to learn and build.
Growth Opportunities
As Care Management by Natalie continues to grow, there may be opportunities for expanded responsibilities and future leadership positions. Advancement opportunities are not guaranteed, but we are committed to investing in team members who demonstrate initiative, leadership, and a passion for our mission.

- Strong verbal and written communication skills with high emotional intelligence and sound judgment.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating within an interdisciplinary team.
