Master's Level Social Worker - PACE

About the role

myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families – all under one roof. Our centers are more than healthcare facilities. They are vibrant community hubs where participants are known by name, valued, and supported as whole people.

The Master Level Social Worker (MSW) provides social work services to PACE participants and their families/caregivers. The MSW maintains a caseload, completes psychosocial assessments and care planning, and partners closely with the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to support participants in remaining safely and independently in their homes and communities. This is primarily a center-based role with occasional home and off-site visits.

Responsibilities

• Engage in daily IDT meetings to ensure participants' voices are heard, conducting psychosocial assessments and developing care plans during initial, semi-annual, annual, or emergency reviews.
• Present assessments at care plan conferences, laying the foundation for collaborative care plans crafted by the IDT team.
• Collaborate seamlessly with the IDT to guide participants through smooth care transitions between settings, such as hospitals, homes, and long-term or short-term care facilities.
• Connect participants, families, and caregivers with community resources and provide ongoing support tailored to their unique needs.
• Facilitate transitions between home and other placements, ensuring participants feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the process.
• Support participants with Medi-Cal applications, staying up to date with changing regulations and coordinating communications with government agencies to ease the process.
• Coordinate advanced care planning in partnership with providers, ensuring participants' goals of care are thoughtfully addressed.
• Design and lead group counseling sessions and activities to promote emotional well-being, personal growth, and social engagement.
• Document care plans and interactions accurately and promptly in the EMR, ensuring smooth coordination across the care team.
• Provide discharge planning support when participants transition out of the program, helping them navigate the next steps with confidence and care.
• Embrace flexibility and teamwork by taking on other meaningful duties as assigned to enhance participant well-being and team success.
• Actively support the achievement of SCAN's Vision and Goals.
• Other duties as assigned.
