Care Navigator (Remote, Pacific Northwest Based )

About the Role

Remo is on a mission to fundamentally change the dementia care journey for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.

Our Care Navigator will report to our Medical Director and play an integral role in the interdisciplinary care team. Remo care navigators are central to the care team and act as the champion for the dyad. Care navigators create a world where individuals living with dementia and caregivers have the knowledge, tools, and means to achieve the goals they share with the people they love. Care navigators are the liaison between the dyad (the individual living with dementia and their caregiver) and the rest of the team - the first touchpoint and most consistent touchpoint throughout the relationship with Remo. Care navigators are fiercely helpful. They have deep empathy for those wrestling with dementia and the unique challenges that they face. Care navigators will be trained in active listening, care coordination, administering assessments, screening for dyad needs, performing medication reconciliations, gathering caregiver collateral, and providing caregiver support.
