DWC seeks to bring on board a Registered Nurse who can provide our residents with the focused support they need to address chronic health challenges. The RN will work with residents to assess pain, mood, strength/balance, risk of falls, incontinence, or fatigue, among other chronic health symptoms. The RN may also assist residents with medication support (such as reviewing drug lists for contradictions or duplications), report changes to a resident’s health or medication to primary care provider or help them navigate a complicated healthcare system to obtain specialty care. Broadly, the RN will also coordinate a resident’s overall care, while also presenting strategies to help self-manage chronic health conditions at home including diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension. The RN will also help DWC better understand the most prevalent types of chronic health conditions among our target population, and what kinds of additional support can be integrated into our Permanent Supportive Housing program to ensure that our residents are stable and able to safely age in place by addressing the chronic health and mental health challenges that pose threats to their stability.
