Caregiver (Indeed Optimized) - 2023

Introduction

Home Instead is looking for caring and compassionate Caregivers—we call ours Care Professionals—to become a part of our team and join our mission of expanding the world’s capacity to care. Home Instead provides a variety of non-medical services that allow aging adults to remain in their home and meet the challenges of aging with dignity, care and compassion.

Our Culture

At Home Instead, you will be more than just a Caregiver. You will be a Care Professional (CarePro). We strive to honor and respect every CarePro for their unique gifts. We have a thorough training program to prepare you for your assignments, a recognition program to ensure you get the credit you deserve, and competitive pay so you or your family can be supported from your efforts.

Typical Shift

Your shift will start with traveling to the home of your assigned client. Client needs vary, so we match Care Professionals’ skills to the clients' needs. You may be asked to do light housekeeping, companionship, outings, medical appointments, showers, toileting, medication reminders, dressing, grooming, oral care, escorting, transferring, or any other ADL or IADL according to the client’s needs. You will NOT be asked to do skilled nursing tasks like administering medications, injections, wound care, or therapy.
