Disability Medical Coordinator jobs

Service Coordinator

ALC Community Transitions Program

At Sage Seniors Association, a powerful sense of mission influences everything we do. We want every Edmonton senior to live a full and healthy life, to do as much as they can, as well as they can, for as long as they can. To do this well, to strive to be the best we can be at it, we need great people who are eager to join that mission.

The Service Coordinator will work with Individuals referred into the program by Acute care. The Coordinator will assess the medical and non-medical needs of clients being discharged from hospital and will lead the development of coordinated service plans that integrate clinical, community and social supports. The Coordinator will work collaboratively with acute care, home care, primary care, mental health & addictions and community partners to ensure a seamless handoff to the Plan Coordinator following transition to community. The goal of this position is to support older adults to transition home from ALC spaces to age safely in place by coordinating necessary supports before discharge.

Sage is committed to promoting a community where all seniors are valued and have the opportunity to live according to their beliefs, abilities, and aspirations. We employ an anti-racist and anti-oppressive approach across the organization and work explicitly to combat ageism to support the holistic well-being of all seniors living in our community.
