We are looking for an experienced Geriatric Nurse Practitioner to serve as a palliative primary care provider in our Seattle Eastside region.

Typical business hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday.

Serve as the PCP for a panel of about 200 homebound older adults in your region.
Work with high-complexity homebound clients primarily residing in Adult Family Homes (AFHs), assisted living facilities, and appropriately supported private residences.
Visit each location every 5 to 6 weeks, with individual visit frequency driven by medical necessity and provider judgment.
Facilitate medication and chronic care management between in-person appointments.
Manage urgent situations remotely with help from local in-home diagnostic services.

The job is 100% field-based.
On a given day, you will visit between one and five homes or facilities.
Each Adult Family Home is someone's house in a regular neighborhood that the state has licensed to care for around six homebound adults.
You will visit homes on the family couch, at the dining room table, or perched on a client's bedside.
Adult Family Homes are unique settings that genuinely feel like family for these older adults, where they live in a small and compassionate environment, and their caregivers know them well.

Not a role for someone who wants a predictable, clock-punching job.
Pathway Geriatrics attracts clinicians who hold themselves to a high standard.
They are intellectually curious, clinically confident, and comfortable practicing near the top of their scope.
They keep learning, question assumptions, and take ownership of their panel, decisions, and outcomes.

Approach issues from a palliative care perspective.
Monitor disease progression and consider when clients should transition to hospice services.
Continue as the client's attending provider while they are on hospice, managing their end-of-life care.
Work with local home health care teams when needed.
Partner with adult family homes to address their special state regulations.
Manage specialty medications, including those for cardiac issues and diabetes.
Be comfortable managing dementia-related behavioral concerns and unnecessary medications.

Personal Vehicle: You will need one.
On-call: We are available to our clients 24/7 for urgent needs. On-call responsibilities rotate evenly between providers and involve phone triage only—no after-hours facility visits.
Giving Back: We try to give back to our community in many ways, and we ask all our employees to participate.
Software Feedback: We're developing a proprietary healthcare tech platform designed explicitly for in-home patient care. Our engineers will work with you from time to time while designing and testing our software platform to streamline operations (i.e., make your life easier).
