Position Summary: 
The Alignment Care Anywhere program is a physician-led and advanced practice clinician-driven program that is intended to care for and support Alignment Healthcare patients by proactively providing an additional level of medical and social support in the comfort of their home.

Our members are typically aged 65 and over and home visits will range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on whether it is a follow-up or a comprehensive initial visit. The nature of the home visit will vary and visit frequency will be based on the member’s acuity level (i.e., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.).
