Job description

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. Behind that experience is a dedicated, interdisciplinary team working together to coordinate care, remove barriers, and improve quality of life for some of the most medically and socially complex populations.
For employees, myPlace Health offers the opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a highly collaborative setting. Team members are encouraged to contribute innovative ideas, and grow alongside a mission that prioritizes compassion, respect, and impact. The result is a culture where people feel connected-to their colleagues, their participants, and the communities they serve.
At myPlace Health, work is more than a job. It's a shared commitment to honoring what matters most.
**This is a full-time onsite position at our PACE center in Los Angeles, CA 90057**
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of seniors? This is an exciting opportunity to join the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and play a vital role in supporting participants and their families.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.
  • Actively support the achievement of SCAN's Vision and Goals.
  • Other duties as assigned.

  • 2 years of experience working with frail or elderly populations, demonstrating a passion for supporting their well-being.
  • Current California Driver's License with a clean driving record and personal automobile insurance (required by State law).
  • Proficiency in EMR/EHR documentation preferred.
  • Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary or medical teams preferred, ensuring smooth coordination of care.
  • Bilingual abilities in English and Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, or Vietnamese are a plus and warmly welcomed.
  • Ability to lift and carry, or move items weighing up to 25 pounds to support participant needs when necessary.
