This is not a typical social work or nursing role. If you've felt that traditional healthcare roles have a ceiling on you, and you want to actually bridge the gaps for older adults after they leave the office or facility, Hera is for you.
An older adult gets discharged from the hospital and you already know they'll be back in 30 days. A family leaves overwhelmed, clutching a stack of papers with numbers they'll never get through. You did everything you could within the system and it still wasn't enough. We started Hera because we felt the system was letting down the generation that raised us.
Hera is dedicated care management in the community for older adults, covered by Medicare. Every family gets matched with a dedicated Hero, you, who actually has the tools, time, and autonomy to help. It’s not a 15 min monthly check-in call. It’s real, ongoing support where you see things through and families call you their Hero.
Why Heroes tell us this feels different
Autonomy to manage your own client load: you own your families to give them the care they deserve instead of hoping for the best
Remote work from home, set your own flexible schedule
Delightful technology built for you so you can focus on fostering connection with families, not fighting an EMR
You're never alone on a case with supportive training and community of other Heroes
No ceiling on you. We're early stage and growing fast, Heroes joining now are shaping the company.
