Home Care Coordinator
Location: Wallingford, CT
Salary Range: $48,000 to $60,000 per year
Position Summary
A growing healthcare organization is seeking a compassionate and detail-oriented Home Care Coordinator to join their senior care services team. This full-time, on-site position plays a vital role in ensuring that clients receive the highest quality of in-home care possible. The ideal candidate brings a genuine passion for serving older adults and vulnerable populations, combined with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
The Home Care Coordinator serves as the central point of contact between clients, their families, and caregiving staff. In this role, you will build meaningful relationships with clients while coordinating schedules, monitoring care quality, and ensuring seamless service delivery.
