Are you passionate about supporting individuals with dementia and improving the care available to them? As we expand our dementia-capable services, join us as a dementia-focused care transitions RN.

Engage with patients in the crucial transition from hospital stay back to home. Collaborating with our inpatient care managers and our community partner, Southern Maine Agency on Aging, you'll help to improve the health and wellbeing of patients with dementia and ensure continuity of care.
