Community LPN

Tanglewood Home Care is seeking compassionate, dependable, and clinically strong
Community LPNs
to join our growing home care team.

This is a unique opportunity for LPNs who enjoy working with seniors, building meaningful relationships, and being part of a new and growing home care program connected to the Tanglewood campus.

As Tanglewood Home Care continues to expand, Community LPNs will support both
Assisted Living residents
and
home care clients in the community

As home care services grow, the Community LPN will also be assigned to home care cases in the community based on client needs, agency growth, and scheduling availability.

Responsibilities include:

• As the home care program grows, accept assigned home care cases in the community.
• Provide nursing services to home care clients in accordance with the client’s individualized plan of care.
• Monitor clients and residents for changes in condition, including changes in skin, appetite, mobility, cognition, pain, behavior, or overall health status.
• Assist with care coordination after hospitalizations, rehab stays, physician visits, falls, illness, or other changes in condition.
• Follow infection control practices, universal precautions, and safety procedures.
• Maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA and all agency policies.
