The Social Worker role offers a unique opportunity to help build a new PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program in DC within the framework of a supportive, innovative, and expert leadership team and company. Together with our coalition of strong partners within the community, the Social Worker will work closely with the Executive Director and Program Director to carry out our PACE model of care, and have a transformative impact on a particularly under-served community. Our lower volume of patients/participants allows for more time and a deeper level of care. Seven core principles drive our approach to care. These include:
· Create and Sustain Meaningful Lives: Our model aims to help elders create and sustain meaningful lives — from social relationships, spirituality, cultural life, work, or service. We support elders with cognitive and physical disability to sustain meaning in their daily lives. We form close community partnerships to help elders engage outside our centers
· Respect the Right to Independence: Edenbridge aims always to follow our participants’ wishes. Wherever possible, participants maintain control over all decisions — from medical procedures to what to eat for dinner
· Pay Attention to What Is Working Well: Our goal is to multiply the days each participant is glad to be alive. We encourage participants’ positive experiences of daily life, supporting the things that matter most to them
· Provide the Right Amount of Medical Care: Elders often have many diagnoses, medications and specialists, involving complex care decisions. We help our participants understand their choices. We deliver thoughtful, appropriate and personalized care, doing what our participants want — nothing more and nothing less
· Guide All the Care Provided: We always follow and guide our participants’ care — in their homes, at our center, in the hospital, and everywhere
