Summary

Residents in senior living communities deserve care that's coordinated, consistent, and truly follows through, and that's exactly what you'll make possible. As a Medical Assistant Coordinator at Curana Health, you'll be the operational backbone for a dedicated panel of Senior Living providers, keeping everything running smoothly so providers can focus on what they do best: caring for patients.

 

This isn't a background role. You'll be embedded in the care team, working on-site at senior living communities, building real relationships with residents, families, facility staff, and providers, and making a meaningful difference in how care gets delivered every day.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Provider & Schedule Support

You'll be your provider's go-to partner, managing daily workflows, coordinating new visits, follow-ups, and acute care, and handling day-of reprioritization so nothing falls through the cracks.

 

Chart Prep & Documentation

Before each visit, you'll have charts prepped, gaps reviewed, records chased down, and quality checks complete. Your thoroughness sets the provider up to walk in ready.

 

Care Coordination & Follow-Through

Orders, referrals, diagnostics, labs, DME, home health, hospice, and outside providers: you'll coordinate across all of it, tracking every handoff to completion and escalating anything that needs clinical eyes.

 

Panel & Census Management

You'll keep the panel current: admissions, discharges, consent, hospice status, DNR changes, care-team updates, all maintained accurately and consistently.

 

Patient & Family Communication

You'll be a steady, professional presence for patients, families, and facility partners, communicating through approved channels and making sure no one is left wondering what happens next.

 

Program & Quality Support

Where applicable, you'll support CCM, APCM, and quality-gap closure activities, helping move the needle on care plan compliance and program engagement.

• Clear, confident communication with patients, families, facility partners, and care teams
• An understanding of Medical Assistant scope and the good judgment to escalate when something needs clinical attention
