MDS Coordinator Experience required within SNF LTC
About the Facility
Chestnut Hill of East Longmeadow has met the short-term rehab, long-term care, and respite care needs of patients and their families for over 30 years. Located just minutes from Heritage Park, this facility provides a tranquil environment for a patient-centered approach to care.
About the Role
This role requires a registered nurse (RN) who conducts federally mandated assessments of patients. MDS coordinators collect integral data and compile it into thorough reports for further research. They use a Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) to gather information from residents and their families during initial and periodic interviews, covering areas such as mood, behavior patterns, cognitive ability, and nutrition needs.
Information from these assessments helps caretakers formulate individualized care plans involving support from social services, dieticians, rehab specialists, and medical staff. MDS coordinators implement and monitor these care plans to ensure effectiveness while ensuring compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and ethical standards. They also serve as the main communicator between insurance professionals and facility management.
The objective of MDS coordinators is to promote the physical and emotional well-being of nursing facility residents. Our vision, “To exceed your expectation with the highest quality healthcare in a safe, clean, supportive, and positive environment,” unites us as a team. Team members put the CARE back into healthcare, and we expect you to maintain and support this culture.
