About Remo

Remo is building the new standard of dementia care. Our care model empowers individuals living with dementia to age in place, surrounded by those they love. We offer support to caregivers through our active community of fellow caregivers, expert resources, and helpful tools to navigate the journey. With Remo, individuals living with dementia  and caregivers get the support they deserve and team members get the job satisfaction they crave. 

About the Role

Remo is on a mission to fundamentally change the dementia care journey for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. 

Our LCSW will report directly to our Chief Medical Officer and play an integral role in the interdisciplinary care team. Remo LCSWs have deep empathy for families faced with dementia and the unique challenges that they face. They understand the toll that the disease can take, on everything from the emotional well being of the family to the practical burden of managing daily life. Remo LCSWs are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive support to families, helping them navigate the complexities of dementia and find the resources that they need. With their specialized knowledge and expertise, Remo LCSWs offer guidance, understanding, and a sense of hope throughout their journey. Our LCSWs will assist families with engaging in advanced care planning, navigating benefit eligibility, and finding available community-based resources (such as options for food, housing , and transportation). Additionally,  Remo understands the importance of creating a space for caregivers and those living with dementia to work through the difficult feelings that arise due to the diagnosis of a serious complex illness. To support this need,  LCSWs will also offer psychotherapy services for those living with dementia and their caregivers. 

What you’ll do 

• Provide compassionate and empathetic support, motivational interviewing, and education for dyads with the full support of a multidisciplinary team (neurologist, pharmacist, social worker, neuropalliative care doctor, etc.)

• Collaborate with the entire care team to deliver on our KPIs — e.g. quality targets, utilization metrics, patient/provider satisfaction, etc.

• Participate in daily care team huddles and weekly care team conferences to discuss high risk patients

• Support dyads and internal teammates through patient transitions of care, discharge planning, LTN placement, hospice placement, and death

How this is different from other clinical jobs:

• This job is 100% remote in CA, FL, NV, OH or TX, providing schedule flexibility

• This is a salaried position with generous vacation, parental leave, and benefits

• You will have a strong voice in how we do things. Unlike the typical experience of feeling like a peg in a machine, you have agency at Remo. If the EMR could be improved, we want to know. If you think a particular type of patient needs a service we are not yet providing, we want to know. Our goal is to continuously improve care delivery and you will be involved closely in that process

Remo aims to reduce health inequities by improving access to affordable, high-quality dementia care. Embracing diversity and equal opportunity are core to that mission--these principles shape our culture, the products we build, and the services we deliver. We celebrate a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, reflecting the diversity of the caregivers and patients we serve.
