About the Role

As a Clinical Assessment and Eligibility Registered Nurse, you will conduct comprehensive nursing assessments in community and nursing facility settings to determine clinical eligibility for programs and services funded through the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging and Independence (AGE) and MassHealth.

In this role, you will:

• Conduct scheduled onsite visits at nursing facilities and collaborate with facility social services teams.
• Participate in interdisciplinary meetings supporting consumers transitioning from nursing facilities back into the community.
• Identify individuals who may benefit from community transition programs, including Money Follows the Person (MFP).
• Collaborate with BSHC nurses, case managers, nursing facilities, hospitals, Adult Day Health programs, home health agencies, and other community partners.
• Provide clinical consultation to case managers and other BSHC staff regarding nursing and medical issues.
• Participate in peer review and quality improvement activities.
• Provide education and training to healthcare and community partners regarding clinical screening and eligibility processes.
• Develop and participate in educational and outreach activities as needed.
