Model, Medicare's dementia care program. We partner with GUIDE Participant Organizations and deploy a credentialed network of Care Companions and Care Concierges who deliver in-home respite care, home safety assessments, and telehealth support to families living with dementia. We support patients across multiple states, and we are opening new states this year. Our network is the product. If the right caregiver does not show up at the right home on the right day, nothing else we do matters. The Role The Care Network Experience LVN owns our field network. You will recruit, credential, and retain the Care Companions and Care Concierges who do the work in people's homes. You will carry real recruitment targets, stand up supply in new markets before we go live in them, and be the person our field team actually trusts and calls. When a visit goes sideways or a family raises a concern, you triage it with clinical judgment rather than a script. This role sits directly with the Founder and CEO. You will help decide which markets we enter, how we staff them, and what good looks like in the field. It is a build role, not a maintenance role. You will work from our Mountain View office 4 to 5 days per week. Some travel to new markets should be expected.
