This is an on site position based in Salunga, PA, not remote. You'll be out in the community regularly: visiting clients, sitting in on care plan meetings at senior living facilities, and being the steady, trusted face families see when everything else feels overwhelming.
As a Case Manager, you're the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll track and pay client bills on time, every time, reconcile accounts down to the penny, and serve as the go to contact for senior living communities and healthcare providers when a client can't advocate for themselves. It's precise, detail-heavy work — and it matters enormously to the families counting on you to get it right.
You won't be making the big calls alone. Every fiduciary decision routes to Pam Witwer, our Founder and Fiduciary of Record — your job is running the day to day with accuracy, sound judgment, and the discipline to know exactly when to escalate. If you're the person who catches the discrepancy nobody else would have noticed, and who can sit across from a grieving family and bring both warmth and order to a hard moment, this is where that belongs.
Compensation:$23 - $25 hourly
The Case Manager manages the day-to-day execution of assigned client cases under that authority. This teammate tracks and pays client bills, monitors and reconciles bank accounts, serves as liaison to senior living communities and healthcare providers, coordinates the operational side of healthcare matters, maintains the client record, and reports to the Fiduciary of Record on a defined cadence.
This teammate does not hold the fiduciary appointment, does not exercise fiduciary discretion, and does not make financial, healthcare, or legal decisions on behalf of a client. Every such decision is escalated to the Fiduciary of Record in accordance with the Fiduciary Escalation Matrix.
This role requires the highest standards of ethical conduct, precision, and compassionate client service, and the discipline to work independently while operating strictly inside a defined authority boundary.

Family, Beneficiary, and Professional Communication
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR FUNDS AND PROPERTY
This teammate handles client financial records, bank statements, bills, and account information for accounts that may range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This teammate has no signature authority and no independent access to move, withdraw, or transfer client funds.
Accountability in this role runs to the completeness and accuracy of the record: every transaction documented, every statement reconciled, every irregularity surfaced. Failure to detect or report a loss, waste, or exploitation of client assets is a failure of this position.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
An associate or bachelor's degree in business, accounting, social work, gerontology, legal studies, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent professional experience will be considered in place of a degree.
On-the-job training and mentorship are provided to ensure familiarity with LPES procedures, the Fiduciary Escalation Matrix, legal requirements, and ethical standards. Certification as a professional fiduciary is not required for this position.
EXPERIENCE
Three years of professional experience in bookkeeping, account reconciliation, estate or trust administration, elder care coordination, senior living administration, banking, or a closely related field is required.
Prior experience supporting a fiduciary, trustee, estate administrator, or elder law practice is strongly preferred.
QUALIFICATIONS
COMPLEXITY AND JUDGMENT
This teammate manages complex, emotionally charged client situations and must balance competing priorities across multiple active cases. The judgment required in this role is operational rather than fiduciary. This teammate exercises independent judgment in how the work gets done, in what order, and to what standard. This teammate does not exercise independent judgment as to what the client's decision should be.
The single most important judgment this teammate makes is recognizing when a matter has crossed out of operational territory and into fiduciary territory, and escalating it. The Fiduciary Escalation Matrix governs. When in doubt, escalate. There is no penalty for escalating a matter that turns out to be routine.
Lancaster PA Executor Services (LPES) is a small, independent fiduciary firm serving seniors and families across central and southcentral Pennsylvania with Financial Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, Executor, Trustee, and estate support services. Founded in 2024 by Pam Witwer after 30+ years in public service, LPES fills a critical gap for families who need compassionate, professional fiduciary support but can't afford traditional attorney-level fees.
The team works collaboratively with elder law attorneys and healthcare providers, often stepping in during a family's most overwhelming moments — where trust, discretion, and precision matter as much as compassion.
