Agency:

Alternate Solutions Health Network

Our culture and people are what set us apart from other post-acute care providers. We’re dedicated to the growth and development of our team to set them up for success. We CARE for our patients like they are our own FAMILY.               

Note: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), require COVID-19 vaccinations for all Medicare and Medicaid certified providers.  Based on this regulation, all of our employees must be fully vaccinated or have a valid exemption.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
At Alternate Solutions Health Network, we care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. Today we care for patients who need skilled home care and hospice services. You won’t find our brand in many places because we partner with health systems, jointly running home health and hospice agencies that use their brand. This is part of our strategy. By being part of the health system team, we can ensure each patient has a well-coordinated care plan that remains consistent whether the patient is seeing their primary care physician, receiving treatment in a hospital, or under our care in the home. 

As an Intake Admission Specialist, the work you do every day makes a difference in the lives of our patients by communicating with referral sources, staff, and community resources to transition patients to home care services. 

WHAT WE OFFER:
We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance with flexibility for you to select what works best for you. Eligible teammates receive paid time off and may participate in the 401K, if they choose. Historically the company has matched 401K contributions which helps build your nest egg even faster. Finally, our benefit program includes company paid life, disability insurance, and a robust Employee Assistance Program.
