Phoenix Home Care and Hospice Kirkwood, MO
$78,000 - $88,000 / year
Home Health RN Case Manager — $78,000–$88,000+ | $10,000 Sign-On Bonus Kirkwood, MO | Full-Time, Monday–Friday | Home Health You already know what a bad home health job looks like. Caseloads that quietly grow past what you were promised. "Flexible" schedules that turn out to be anything but. On-call that eats every other weekend. Phoenix is built differently — and we'd rather tell you exactly how than oversell it. What's actually true here: $78,000–$88,000 base, and that's often the floor, not the ceiling. This is a pay-per-visit model — the more visits you complete, the more you earn. Many of our nurses out-earn the top of this range. A real Monday–Friday schedule. On-call comes around once a month, including admissions — not every other week. Real autonomy in your day. You build your own visit schedule, which means most days, if you need time for a family appointment or something in your own life, you can plan around it. Charting support that actually helps. Our AI tool Roger cuts down your charting time during visits — we won't pretend there's never anything left to finish afterward, but it's a real reduction, not a marketing line. Paid training, guaranteed. 4–6 weeks of training with guaranteed pay while you ramp up — no gap, no guesswork. See it before you commit. Come on a ride-along and spend a day with one of our nurses before you ever sign anything. PTO that builds every pay period — 10 days plus 6 floating holidays, accruing from day one. Mileage reimbursed on every visit, plus out-of-town visit pay for qualifying trips beyond your territory. A team that shows up for you. Our home health team has a track record of hitting the numbers that matter — and supporting each other to get there. What you'll do: Manage a caseload of home health patients, supervising LPN visits and coordinating with our Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy teams. Conduct assessments, build personalized care plans aligned with physician orders, and support patients managing conditions like CHF, COPD, diabetes, wounds, and medication regimens. Requirements: Missouri or Compact RN license · Valid driver's license · Strong organizational, clinical, and communication skills If you're a home health nurse in the St. Louis area who's tired of promises that don't hold up once you're hired — come see what a straight answer looks like. Ride along, ask us anything, and decide for yourself. Phoenix Home Care and Hospice. New Beginnings, for real.
