Job Description

Midland Care Connection



Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.



PACE Program 



The PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.



Wellness Assistant



A PACE Wellness Assistant supports older adults in PACE programs by promoting health, safety, and overall well-being. They help with daily activities like bathing and mobility, encourage healthy habits and exercise, assist with meals and social engagement, and monitor participants’ condition, reporting changes to the care team. Essentially, they provide hands-on support to help participants stay independent and engaged while coordinating with nurses and other staff.
