Licensed Practical Nurse - Home Health - Wayne and Stark

Home Health Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Community Health Network is seeking a dependable, organized, and compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our home health team.

If you are an LPN who values schedule flexibility, independence, variety in your workday, meaningful patient relationships, and a supportive team environment, this may be the right opportunity for you.

Our LPNs serve a diverse home health population, including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD), individuals residing in group homes, patients living independently in the community, and patients requiring traditional skilled home health nursing visits.

No two days are exactly the same. Depending on your assigned schedule and caseload, your day may include traveling to a group home for a nursing visit or medication pass, seeing an individual living independently for skilled nursing care, or providing ongoing assessment, education, medication management, and treatments in a patient's home.

• Reinforce established plans of care and patient-specific interventions

• Promote patient safety, independence, and quality of life within the home and community

• Collaborate with RN Case Managers, physicians, therapists, caregivers, residential providers, direct-support professionals, and other members of the interdisciplinary team

• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation

• Participate in care coordination and interdisciplinary communication as needed
