3x12 hour shifts Join HopeWest and be part of a team that is changing the way healthcare supports aging adults in our community. At HopeWest, we believe exceptional care begins with exceptional people. We are looking for a compassionate, skilled Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our growing PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) team. PACE provides comprehensive, coordinated healthcare and supportive services that allow older adults with complex medical needs to remain living independently in their homes and communities for as long as possible.

Provide direct nursing care to PACE participants in accordance with individualized care plans and provider orders.

Collaborate closely with RNs, providers, CNAs, therapists, social workers, and other members of the interdisciplinary team. Support participant education and encourage independence, safety, and overall well-being. Help ensure a welcoming, compassionate, and participant-centered experience. Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation. Follow all applicable regulations, policies, procedures, and standards of care. Why PACE? PACE is more than healthcare-it is a different way of caring for older adults. Instead of focusing on one appointment or one health concern at a time, our interdisciplinary team works together to support the whole person. This collaborative approach allows you to build meaningful relationships with participants while working alongside professionals who share a common goal: helping people live with dignity, independence, and quality of life.
