SummitWest Care is seeking a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to support our home health program full-time. This role offers a consistent weekday schedule and the opportunity to provide one‑on‑one care in the homes of local clients.

- Complete orthopedic exercises assigned by Physical Therapy
- Administer IV antibiotics and draw labs (within scope/training)
- Communicate patient changes to RNs and leadership
- Complete timely, thorough documentation in our EMR (training provided)
Home health happens in real homes, not controlled clinical settings.
Qualifications
