Role : Social Worker (MSW) Organization : Edenbridge PACE at West Baltimore Location : West Baltimore Status : Full-time Mission : To allow frail elderly people to age in the location of their choosing and continue to lead connected, meaningful lives The Social Worker role offers a unique opportunity to help build a new PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program in West Baltimore within the framework of a supportive, innovative, and expert leadership team and company.
Together with our coalition of strong partners within the community, the Social Worker will work closely with the Executive Director and Program Director to carry out our PACE model of care, and have a transformative impact on a particularly under-served community.
Seven core principles drive our approach to care. These include : Create and Sustain Meaningful Lives : Our model aims to help elders create and sustain meaningful lives from social relationships, spirituality, cultural life, work, or service.
We support elders with cognitive and physical disability to sustain meaning in their daily lives. We form close community partnerships to help elders engage outside our centers.
Respect the Right to Independence : Edenbridge aims always to follow our participants’ wishes. Wherever possible, participants maintain control over all decisions from medical procedures to what to eat for dinner.
Pay Attention to What Is Working Well : Our goal is to multiply the days each participant is glad to be alive. We encourage participants’ positive experiences of daily life, supporting the things that matter most to them.
Provide the Right Amount of Medical Care : Elders often have many diagnoses, medications and specialists, involving complex care decisions.
We help our participants understand their choices. We deliver thoughtful, appropriate and personalized care, doing what our participants want nothing more and nothing less.
Guide All the Care Provided : We always follow and guide our participants’ care in their homes, at our center, in the hospital, and everywhere.
Live with Our Communities, Not Just in Them : We work in communities where aging in place is valued and integrated care is a shared mission.
We build deep relationships with community organizations ( see video ) beginning long before we open our doors. We aim to reach beyond the walls of the center to bring community members in and participants out for person-to-person connection .
