Care Coordinator, LSW

Bluestone Physician Services delivers great outcomes by bringing exceptional care to patients living with complex, chronic conditions and disabilities. Our unique, robust model of care goes beyond primary care services — our multidisciplinary care teams collaborate with patients, their families and other healthcare providers to deliver care that is preventative, proactive and tailored to their unique needs. Our care teams travel to patients who reside in Assisted Living, Memory Care and Group Home communities throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida.

In addition to primary care, Bluestone has a highly developed care coordination model for more than 14,000 seniors and individuals living with disabilities in Minnesota. Bluestone Care Coordination partners with Minnesota health plans to support their members who receive medical assistance through Minnesota’s Special Needs BasicCare (SNBC) & Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) programs. Care Coordinators are registered nurses or licensed social workers who work directly with members to assess their physical, mental and social needs and facilitate services and communication across their care team to support their best interests and close gaps in care. 

Our success is only possible through the hard work of our employees who bring our core values of Dedication, Excellence, Collaboration and Caring to life every day.
