A note from a current LTCFS:

“There are so many great things about the Long Term Care Functional Screener (Dedicated Screener) role! As a DS you have the opportunity to interact with members in their homes to assess their needs and celebrate their abilities, and then document and submit your findings. You are in control of your schedule, with the ability to work from home and to arrange home visits and documentation time as it suits you best. As a DS you will always be busy, but because there are consistent expectations and clear guidelines it is rarely overwhelming or stressful. The LTCFS leadership seeks and values the input of each DS and provides numerous opportunities for participation and involvement. The LTCFS supervisors are encouraging and helpful and provide varying levels of support based on your desire and need. If you love people and take pride in completing detailed documentation, then the DS role would be perfect for you!”
