Service Coordination

NHE places service coordinators across the nation in specialized communities for the elderly and for people with disabilities.

What is a Service Coordinator?

A Service Coordinator is responsible for assuring that elderly residents, especially those who are frail or at risk, and those non-elderly residents with disabilities are linked to the supportive services they need to continue living independently in their current homes. A few essential activities of a service coordinator are:

  • Conduct general intake and assessment and identify service needs (Individual, Activity of Daily Living, Community)
