Position Summary

The Registered Nurse (RN) Case Manager is responsible for coordinating, assessing, and managing nursing care for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and other healthcare needs in home-based and community settings. The role combines clinical assessment, case management, skilled nursing services, medication certification training, care coordination, and regulatory compliance to ensure safe, person-centered, and high-quality care. The RN Case Manager will initially support New Jersey operations through medication certification training for non-licensed Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), with additional home health nursing responsibilities implemented as services expand in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This is a part-time position with remote or hybrid flexibility and required travel for in-home visits and clinical assessments.

Position Scope

The RN Case Manager supports the delivery, coordination, and oversight of home health and nursing services for individuals receiving care through OneWell Health Care. The position collaborates with the Director of Nursing, clinical leadership, physicians, families, support coordinators, field nurses, and direct support staff to ensure appropriate care planning, continuity of services, and compliance with applicable clinical and regulatory standards. The position initially focuses on implementing and supporting medication certification training for non-licensed DSPs in New Jersey. As home health nursing services are established and expanded, responsibilities will include comprehensive patient assessments, physician-ordered skilled nursing care, clinical oversight, Plan of Care review, and quality assurance. The role may also support Pennsylvania operations through clinical review of Plans of Care and related documentation.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities include overseeing specialized medical treatments and equipment, coordinating referrals and continuity of care, and educating patients, caregivers, and eligible non-licensed DSPs in New Jersey on medication management and certification requirements. The role also ensures accurate clinical documentation, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, incident follow-up, and clinical oversight of field nursing staff while supporting staff development, operational reporting, and the growth of home health nursing services in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
