Nurse Practitioner, Longevity Care in Senior Living (In-Person Contract)

About Total Life
Total Life connects adults 65+ with licensed clinicians for behavioral health, geriatric care and longevity services, covered by Medicare, Railroad Medicare and major commercial insurers. Since 2021 we've grown to more than 200 credentialed providers serving patients in 49 states.
Most longevity medicine is built for healthy 40-year-olds. Ours is built for older adults. The Longevity Program combines a comprehensive geriatric assessment with chronic disease management, cognitive health, medication review and weight management, organized around five pillars of healthy aging: sleep, nutrition, movement, mental health and social connection. It works alongside a patient's existing care and never replaces their primary care provider.
The role
This is an in-person contract role. We're looking for nurse practitioners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to lead longevity days at our partner senior living communities. Each day opens with a short educational talk for residents on healthy aging, using a presentation and speaker notes we provide. You then see the residents who sign up for one-on-one longevity visits.
You'll be trained and supported by our Chief Medical Officer, a board-certified geriatrician who designed the program's clinical content. Your first site day is run alongside a member of our team.
Schedule
Site days are on weekdays. The presentation is the fixed part of the day. The rest depends on how many residents sign up. Expect roughly 4 to 8 hours per site day, a few times a month to start, with hours growing as bookings grow.
What you'll do
Conduct 45 to 60 minute longevity visits built on a comprehensive geriatric assessment: what matters most to the resident, medication review and deprescribing, cognition (including the Mini-Cog), mood, sleep, nutrition, mobility, fall risk, daily function and advance care planning
Evaluate eligible residents for weight management, including GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate
Identify residents who would benefit from follow-up care, such as a fuller cognitive review, ongoing medical follow-up, psychiatry or therapy, and coordinate with their primary care provider
Document every encounter accurately and completely, to Medicare standards, in our EHR
Represent Total Life professionally with residents, families and community staff
Travel to assigned senior living communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
