About AJ Residence AJ Residence is a DBHDS\-licensed provider of residential group home and day support services for adults and children with developmental disabilities in Virginia.

Every day, direct support staff document the care they provide in our electronic health record. Your job is to make sure that documentation is complete, accurate, timely, and audit\-ready for every individual on your caseload, every shift, every day. You will be the person who catches what is missing, coaches the staff member who missed it, and confirms the correction is made properly. A typical day looks like this: log into the EHR each morning, run the shift documentation report, identify any missing or incomplete entries from the prior 24 hours, contact the responsible staff to complete late entries in accordance with our documentation procedures, then open and read each completed note to verify it meets our quality standards before marking it reviewed.
