About the Opportunity:


The Care Coordinator is responsible for the assessment, care planning, authorization of services and the ongoing case management of clients referred to Continuing Care.

Care coordinators help provide an array of services/programs offered by Nova Scotia Health Continuing Care and Department of Seniors and Long Term Care to assist individuals and families cope with complicated acute or chronic health situations in the most effective way possible in the community.

Assist clients identify their goals, unmet needs and resources. Based on the assessment, the Care Coordinator assists the client/family to formulate a plan to meet those goals.


The care coordinator authorizes services, makes referrals/linkages to other professional and volunteer resources, to assess and support the client in the community for as long as possible.

Facilitate discharge to return to the community as required.


Care Coordinators work in the community and hospital and with clients in a long term care facility and are fiscally responsible for the care/services/equipment they authorize within available Department of Seniors and Long Term Care policies and programs.

If necessary, they explore other resources and facilitate an exception on behalf of the client to obtain needed services. They maintain ongoing communication with clients, family, caregivers, care providers and health care teams.

The philosophy of the Care Coordinators is grounded in "Home First":

maximizing available services and resources to support clients and families in the home/community along with ongoing reassessments and skilled care management.
