This position is funded through a Medicaid program known as Self-Direction. As a self-directed nurse, you will be employed directly by the family and compensated through Medicaid funds. Please note that this program does not provide the benefits typically associated with agency or larger employers, such as insurance or paid time off. However, the position offers flexibility, the opportunity to build a close one-on-one relationship with the client, and the chance to engage with a friendly family in their home setting while potentially participating in family gatherings, vacations (to Arizona), and meals.

Who is Community Horizons Community Horizons provides support to individuals and families enrolled in self-directed care programs across Wisconsin, including services through Managed Care Organizations, IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct), and the Children’s Long-Term Support (CLTS)program. Self-direction allows participants to make their own choices—selecting who provides their care and how those services are delivered. While Community Horizons offers guidance and mentorship, we are not the employer of record. Participants and families make all hiring decisions, with a third-party fiscal agent handling payroll and employment paperwork. Our mission is to help individuals of all ages navigate self-directed care with connection, coordination, and compassion.
