Full-time / Part-time - Care Manager (Reston)

About ElderTree Care Management

ElderTree Care Management partners with older adults and their families to navigate aging with clarity, dignity, and confidence. We support clients through complex medical, cognitive, and life transitions by coordinating care, advocating across systems, and serving as a trusted guide during some of life’s most difficult moments.

What Is Care Management?

Care management is a holistic, relationship-driven service that helps older adults and their families manage health, safety, and quality-of-life needs as they age.

At ElderTree, Care Managers:

• Assess medical, cognitive, functional, and psychosocial needs
• Create and oversee personalized care plans
• Coordinate with physicians, therapists, facilities, and home care providers
• Advocate for clients and families across healthcare and community systems
• Provide ongoing guidance, monitoring, and problem-solving as needs evolve
• Work across the metro DC area to provide clinical advocacy and psychosocial support for our clients

If you enjoy clinical thinking without bedside burnout, value autonomy, and want to make a meaningful impact over time, this role may be a strong fit!

The Role

As a Care Manager, you will work directly with older adults and their families to assess needs, develop care plans, and provide ongoing oversight and advocacy. This role blends clinical judgment, care coordination, and relationship-based work.

You’ll be supported by a collaborative, mission-driven team while maintaining ownership over your caseload. Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 9 am - 6 pm EST, with the expectation of being on a rotating on call schedule for periodic weekends. Individuals must drive a car, have a good driving record, and be able to see clients across the DMV (mileage & tolls reimbursed)

We welcome applicants from a range of clinical and human-services backgrounds, including:

• Social Worker
• Recreational Therapist / Associate Recreational Therapist
• Gerontologist

Prior care management experience is helpful but not required — we provide training and mentorship.

• Passion for aging, advocacy, and family-centered care
• Reliable transportation and comfort with local travel
