AlzOC seeks to hire LW navigators

JOB OPPORTUNITY

Alzheimer’s Orange County (AlzOC) is hiring two part-time “care team navigators.”

AlzOC is seeking mission driven, compassionate and skilled individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of those living with cognitive loss.

Care team navigators (CTNs) will be core members of the LWSB Memory Support Team (MST) being developed by AlzOC.

Alzheimer’s Orange County is a community based nonprofit organization that has assisted individuals living with dementia and their family care-partners in Orange County for 41 years.

The MST is an education and care coordination program that teams with families and individuals living with dementia.

The goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of people living with dementia and their care-partners, as well as to decrease unnecessary medical costs.

The heart of this care team is the navigator who, in partnership with the AlzOC clinical team, will provide a variety of services and support to individuals living with dementia and their care-partners.

Those services include:

• Assessing individuals with cognitive decline and working with them to develop a plan of care.

• Providing education and support concerning memory loss and what to expect.

• Screening for unmet care needs including clinical or medication issues, behavioral issues, safety risks and psychosocial well-being.

• Guiding families through the process of advance care planning.

• Providing connections to local community services.

The navigator will be the primary point of contact for participants and their families enrolled in the program.

Navigators will work with participants and collaborate with their health care providers under direct supervision and guidance of the AlzOC multidisciplinary clinical team.
