Nurse Practitioner, Longevity Care in Senior Living (In-Person Contract)
About the role
This is an in-person contract role. We're looking for nurse practitioners in the Tacoma-South Seattle area to lead longevity days at our partner senior living communities. Each day opens with a short educational talk for residents on healthy aging, using a presentation and speaker notes we provide. You then see the residents who sign up for one-on-one longevity visits. You'll be trained and supported by our Chief Medical Officer, a board-certified geriatrician who designed the program's clinical content. Your first site day is run alongside a member of our team.
Schedule
Site days are on weekdays. The presentation is the fixed part of the day. The rest depends on how many residents sign up. Expect roughly 4 to 8 hours per site day, a few times a month to start, with hours growing as bookings grow.
Responsibilities
- Conduct 45 to 60 minute longevity visits built on a comprehensive geriatric assessment: what matters most to the resident, medication review and deprescribing, cognition (including the Mini-Cog), mood, sleep, nutrition, mobility, fall risk, daily function and advance care planning.
- Evaluate eligible residents for weight management, including GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate.
- Identify residents who would benefit from follow-up care, such as a fuller cognitive review, ongoing medical follow-up, psychiatry or therapy, and coordinate with their primary care provider.
- Document every encounter accurately and completely, to Medicare standards, in our EHR.
- Represent Total Life professionally with residents, families and community staff.
- Travel to assigned senior living communities in the Tacoma-South Seattle area.
Requirements
- Active, unrestricted Washington ARNP license as a nurse practitioner, with prescriptive authority, from the Washington State Board of Nursing, plus an active Washington or multistate RN license (a multistate RN compact license does not cover ARNP practice).
- Current national NP board certification.
- Active DEA registration and registration with the Washington Prescription Monitoring Program.
- Clinical experience caring for adults 65+.
- Experience with Medicare documentation and E/M coding.
- Own malpractice insurance (minimum $1M per occurrence, $3M aggregate) that covers in-person care, not just telehealth, or the ability to obtain it before your first site day.
- Comfort presenting to groups and speaking with older adults and their
