At 21st Century Home Health Services (21HHS), we treat every patient with the same empathy, compassion, and understanding we would show our own family. With more than 600 employees, we are the largest home health agency in San Francisco and the fastest-growing in the Bay Area. Today, we care for more than 4,000 patients across San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, and Sacramento counties—and we are actively expanding into Marin and Sonoma counties.

Our clinicians are dedicated not only to the patients they serve, but also to one another. The results speak for themselves: hospital readmission rates at 21HHS consistently remain under 10%, compared to an industry average of over 15%.

We’ve also set a new benchmark for employee satisfaction in home health. Recognized as a 2024 Top Workplace, 21HHS fosters an environment of support, growth, and recognition through open communication and professional development opportunities.

Key achievements include:

San Francisco Chronicle Top Workplaces in the Bay Area: Ranked 3rd among all medium-sized companies and 1st among home health agencies.

National Recognition: Ranked 12th among medium-sized healthcare companies nationwide and 1st among home health agencies.

Patient and employee feedback on Yelp, Google, Glassdoor, and Indeed further validates our commitment to quality care and workplace excellence. By prioritizing engagement and satisfaction, 21HHS attracts top clinical talent and delivers outstanding outcomes, cementing our place as a leader in home health.

Please note: All opportunities at 21HHS require being in the field visiting patients in their homes.

As our Readmission Prevention Coordinator (Registered Nurse), you’ll be at the heart of our mission to Educate, Enhance, Empower. Think of yourself as both detective and coach—you’ll dig into data, spot trends, and uncover the “why” behind hospital readmissions. Then, you’ll turn those insights into smart, practical strategies that keep our patients healthier and out of the hospital.

Your work will include tracking patterns, brainstorming new approaches to care, and teaming up with clinicians to deliver recommendations that are grounded in evidence but easy to act on. You’ll also have the chance to reimagine care protocols, helping us improve outcomes, elevate patient experiences, and celebrate every win against readmission.
