Job Description:

Registered Nurse (RN) – Home Health Case Manager

New Haven Territory

If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin managing a high caseload, this is the role designed to fix that.

At Elara Caring, we’re actively investing in our clinicians by lowering caseloads, improving coverage, and protecting work/life balance in the Greater Danbury area. This isn’t a backfill—it’s a strategic addition to support growth, reduce burnout, and give our nurses the time they need to deliver the level of care they’re proud of.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why This Role Stands Out

✔ Manageable Caseloads (No More Overload)
We’re proactively hiring to keep caseloads where they should be—so you can focus on quality care, not just volume.

✔ Real Work/Life Balance
Large territory? Yes. But adding this role means more shared coverage, smarter scheduling, and less time feeling like you’re constantly catching up.

✔ Growth Without Chaos
We’re expanding in the Danbury market and want nurses who want to grow with us—without sacrificing their sanity to do it.

✔ Strong Community Impact
With additional RN support, we can accept more referrals and strengthen partnerships across the community—meaning your work reaches more patients who truly need it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What You’ll Do

Manage and coordinate a dedicated caseload of home health patients
Perform comprehensive assessments and develop individualized care plans
Provide 1:1 patient care in the home setting
Collaborate with physicians, therapists, and interdisciplinary team members
Adjust care plans based on patient progress and clinical findings
Build meaningful relationships with patients and families

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What You’ll Get

Flexible scheduling & autonomy – structure your day the way that works best for you
Supportive clinical leadership – you’re never on an island here
Competitive pay + mileage reimbursement
Full benefits: medical, dental, vision
401(k) with match
Generous PTO + holidays + family & pet bereavement
Tuition reimbursement & ongoing education
Pet insurance (because we know they’re family too)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What You’ll Need

Active, unrestricted RN license
1+ year of clinical nursing experience
Home Health experience preferred but not required
Ability and willingness to travel throughout the Greater Danbury territory
Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Nursing (preferred)
Experience with HomeCare HomeBase (a plus, not required)

Physical Requirements:
Sit, stand, bend, lift and move intermittently and be able to lift 50-100 lbs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bottom Line

This role exists for a reason:
to make your job more manageable, more rewarding, and more sustainable.

If you’re a nurse who loves home health but wants a position where you’re supported—not stretched—this is where you’ll find it.

Equal Employment Opportunity: We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and comply with state and federal affirmative action requirements. Individuals are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted without regard to race, national origin, religion, age, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
