Job Description - Scheduling Coordinator

Reliable, Relatable. Remarkable. Our motto and our commitment.

This position is responsible for ensuring our clients receive optimum care. Using your management skills, you'll meet with prospective clients to assess their needs in order to continue living independently and develop a care plan.

Be Wise, immunize campaign

We are excited to see that so many of you have been able to get in for your Covid-19 vaccine. This week we have started to see certificates for the 2nd shot from our caregivers. The office staff are all scheduled for their 2nd shots over the next 2 weeks and anxious to experience the peace of mind from having the shots done.

For more information on the vaccine, you can go to the Be Wise, Immunize website here. The Be Wise, Immunize campaign provides home care workers trustworthy information about the COVID-19 vaccine. It is essential that home care aides receive the vaccine to protect themselves, their families, and their clients. We can already see a time when senior families will request immunized caregivers.

Once you receive your 2nd shot, remember to send a photo of your immunization card to 254-274-3641 via text or email to support@managedseniorcarehelp.zendesk.com. We will update your certifications and pay you for the time to receive the vaccine. We would also love to share pictures of your experience with our community, so send them in too.

In the meantime, remember to wear your mask, apron and gloves and have your client wear their mask too.

Winter Weather Advisories

It finally looks like winter is going to arrive in West Michigan; which makes this a good time to review winter driving safety and traveling to client’s homes. First and foremost, we always want you to be safe. Shifts can be rescheduled if the roads are not safe to drive on. A bit late is always better than having an accident pushing things to get to a client’s home.

If you are going to be late, call your Client. You can view your Client’s phone number in the Clear Care Go app by selecting the shift you are late for, then selecting their Name. Simply press on their Name in the Task View or on the Menu under Clients and their profile with their address and phone number are displayed. The office will call to check on you if you are more than 20 minutes late, but we look to you to connect with your senior.

If you actually need to reschedule with your Client for another time, then please do that directly also. Reminder, all rescheduled shifts must be completed by Saturday of the same week. Text the reschedule information to the office at 254-274-3641 as soon as you and your client have agreed upon it.

I am also re-sharing our annual winter driving safety tips. Take a minutes and double check you have all the things you need in your car, before you go out in the snow. Bundle up and thank you for all you do.

What to Carry in Your Car in Winter

Winter travel can be tough on car and driver, to prepare:

• Check your tires and make sure your chains fit before the first winter storm and check tire pressure during cold weather. Remember, tire shops and mechanics are busiest just before and during winter storms.

• Get a vehicle winter maintenance check-up. Don't wait to check your battery, belts, hoses, radiator, lights, brakes, heater/defroster and wipers.

• Keep your fuel tank full — don't let it fall below half a tank on winter trips.

• Program your radio for traffic reports and emergency messages (for WSDOT radio: 530 and 1610 AM).

What to carry on winter trips:

• Keep a basic winter survival kit in your vehicle: flashlight, batteries, blanket, snacks, water, gloves, boots, first-aid kit.

• Load your car with winter travel gear : tire chains, ice scraper/snowbrush, jumper cables, road flares.If you find yourself stranded, be safe, stay in your car, put on your flashers, call for help and wait until it arrives.
