Care Manager (RN) - In-Home Care Management
Location: Austin Metro Area (Georgetown to San Marcos)
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (no evenings or weekends)
About the Role
CareFor is seeking a skilled, compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) to join our care management team, supporting clients in their homes and across the community.
This is a high-touch, relationship-driven role focused on coordinating care for primarily (but not exclusively) older adults with medically complex needs. Unlike traditional home health, our care managers oversee the full picture, advocating for clients, guiding families, and collaborating across medical and non-medical teams.
This role is ideal for an experienced nurse who values autonomy, critical thinking, and meaningful client relationships.
What You'll Do
Conduct comprehensive client assessments (medical, social, environmental) and reassess as needed
Develop, implement, and continuously evaluate individualized care plans
Coordinate care across a multidisciplinary team (physicians, therapists, home health, hospice, caregivers, and community providers)
Serve as a trusted resource for clients and families; educating, advocating, and guiding care decisions
Write detailed clinical documentation, including assessments, progress notes, and medical necessity reports
Monitor client progress and adjust care plans to ensure goal-driven, patient-centered outcomes
Accompany and/or transport clients to appointments or procedures as needed, advocating for their care in real time
Collaborate with internal teams (staffing, accounting, leadership) to support overall client care
Support caregivers with guidance, communication, and care direction
Participate in guardianship responsibilities when applicable, coordinating with families, attorneys, and trust officers
Manage all administrative responsibilities independently, including documentation, communication, and record-keeping
Respond in person to client needs during business hours across the Austin metro area
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in Texas (or eligibility via reciprocity)
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or higher
Minimum of 5 years of clinical nursing experience
Residence within the Austin metro area (Georgetown to San Marcos)
Valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, and ability to meet insurance requirements
Preferred Experience
10+ years of diverse nursing experience
Background in hospice, home health, care management, or similar roles
Experience with medically complex or geriatric populations
Prior experience coordinating care across multiple providers or settings
Key Skills & Attributes
Strong clinical judgment with the ability to assess and respond to complex situations
Excellent documentation and report-writing skills with high attention to detail
Highly organized and able to manage multiple clients independently
Confident decision-maker who seeks guidance when appropriate
Strong interpersonal and communication skills across diverse populations
Ability to balance autonomy with collaboration in a team environment
Adaptable to changing client needs, environments, and priorities
High level of integrity, professionalism, and discretion with sensitive information
What Makes This Role Different
We are not a home health agency-our focus is care coordination, advocacy, and oversight
You'll engage with every aspect of a client's care: medical, social, and environmental
The pace differs from hospital settings, requiring flexibility and a consultative approach
You'll build long-term, meaningful relationships with clients and families
Additional Considerations
Care is delivered in a variety of settings (private homes, assisted living, nursing facilities, hospitals)
Role requires regular travel throughout the Austin metro area and transporting clients when needed
Exposure to typical clinical environments, including potential contact with infectious conditions
Occasional need for flexibility in response to urgent client situations
We are committed to providing compassionate, professional care to clients from all backgrounds while maintaining a respectful and inclusive workplace
Strict adherence to HIPAA and company compliance standards is required
