About the role
Private Duty Nurse (RN/LPN) – 1:1 Home Care
Centria Healthcare is seeking a dedicated RN or LPN to join a collaborative care team for an adult client in Clio. This isn’t just a nursing shift; it’s an opportunity to work within a beautiful home with a very kind, welcoming family who truly values their care team. To ensure the highest level of safety and support, this case also features a Home Health Aide (HHA) on-site to assist you with daily tasks.
The Case: Sophisticated Care in a Premier Setting
You will be caring for an adult client with quadriplegia who requires a clinical expert with a gentle, patient touch.
- A Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a kind family and a dedicated Home Health Aide who provides additional support for the client's needs.
- Advanced Technology: Utilize a state-of-the-art ceiling-track lift system for seamless transfers between the home gym, bedroom, and bathroom.
- Specialized Clinical Focus: Manage wound care, a specific bowel program, and catheter care.
- Cognitive & Sensory Support: Provide vital support for the client’s short-term memory loss and hearing impairment. This requires a nurse who is exceptionally patient, calm, and professional.
- Safety-First Approach: Because the client is at a high risk for falls, we need a "quietly vigilant" nurse—one who stays alert and attentive to safety without "hovering" or encroaching on the client's independence.
- Community Access: Accompany the client to appointments by driving the family vehicle.
- Pet-Friendly Home: Must be comfortable with two large, friendly dogs who are part of the family.
Responsibilities
- Provide skilled nursing care (trach/vent care, medication administration, catheter care).
- Monitor and document vital signs and patient condition.
- Coordinate with the HHA and family to assist with ADLs, including dressing and meal prep.
- Maintain a safe, high-quality, patient-centered environment.
Schedule & Pay
- Flexible Shifts: Full-time or part-time available
- Competitive Pay: Based on experience.
- Benefits: Weekly pay + optional daily pay; Health benefits and Sick Time for eligible employees
Why Work at Centria?
- ✅ 1:1 Patient Care: Dedicated time to focus on one patient’s success.
- ✅ Comprehensive Training: Paid training and shadow shifts (Trach/Vent training provided).
- ✅ 24/7 Support: You always have a clinical lead a phone call away.
- ✅ Beautiful Work Setting: Work in a clean, high-end, and appreciative household.
Qualifications
