Medical Social Worker (MSW) – Hospice & Home Health - Carnegie, PA (Field-Based)

Be the person families lean on when it matters most.

Anova is a family-owned home health and hospice company that has cared for people across Western Pennsylvania since 2004. You won't get lost in a big system here. You'll know your team, your leaders will know your name, and your work will shape how families get through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

We're hiring a Medical Social Worker for our hospice and home health teams. You'll guide end-of-life conversations, connect families to resources, and make sure every transition is safe.

What You'll Do

Support Patients and Families

• Complete a psychosocial assessment for each new hospice patient within 5 days of admission
• Lead goals-of-care and advance care planning conversations, including advance directives, PA POLST, and health care power of attorney
• Support families through grief, caregiver stress, and final arrangements, and hand them off to our Bereavement Coordinator after a death

Be Part of the Care Team

• Attend Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meetings and update your section of each patient's plan of care at least every 15 days
• Keep RN case managers informed when a patient's home situation or caregiver support changes
• Complete social work visits for home health patients as ordered by the physician

Coordinate Care and Transitions

• Work with nursing homes, personal care homes, and assisted living communities so care plans stay aligned
• Build safe discharge plans when a patient leaves hospice care, and connect them to home health, palliative care, waiver services, or private-duty care
• Help families apply for Medicaid, waiver programs, VA benefits, and community resources

Keep It Accurate

• Document every visit in Kantime within 24 hours
• Follow Medicare, Pennsylvania, and HIPAA requirements
