• Compliance with the Medicare Conditions of Participation, California licensing, and accreditation standards
• QAPI, survey readiness, audits, and Plans of Correction
• A clear line of sight for executive leadership into clinical performance and risk

• Active California RN license in good standing
• Qualification under 22 CCR § 74703(b): an RN with a bachelor's or higher degree in nursing or a health-related field plus three years' experience in the last five years in a home health agency, clinic, or health facility (one year supervisory or administrative); or an RN with four years' such experience in the last five (one year supervisory or administrative)
• Current BLS/CPR certification
• Working knowledge of the Home Health CoPs, California requirements, and OASIS
• Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation, or another reliable way to travel between branches
