About the role

Curana Health is a national leader in value-based care, offering senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities solutions—including on-site primary care services, Accountable Care Organizations, and Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans—to enhance health outcomes, streamline operations, and create financial opportunities. Our National After-Hours Call Team provides compassionate telephonic care and clinical direction during evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays, ensuring residents receive timely, high-quality support without unnecessary transfers.

In this work-from-home role, you’ll deliver after-hours care virtually (primarily by phone) to aging residents across multiple states. You’ll serve as the trusted clinical partner for residents and facility staff during critical times, managing high call volumes and performing at least 30% telehealth visits, including evaluation of acute changes, falls, and controlled substance visits. Providers must manage multiple calls independently while delivering care across several states.
