Home Health Aides & Personal Care Assistants

About the role

We are looking for individuals to help care for local elderly clients, one-on-one, in their homes. Most of our elderly clients need help with day-to-day things like grocery shopping, running errands, housekeeping, laundry, preparing meals, and helping them remain as independent as possible, in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. Some clients need a little more intimate help with things such as showering and toileting. Every case is different.

• Channeling your inner superhero to tackle household chores and errands with finesse (cape optional).
• Keeping spirits high with your top-notch joke-telling skills and infectious laughter.
• Providing personalized care that would make even Mary Poppins proud.

Requirements

• 18 years of age or older.
• A valid driver's license & vehicle (to embark on epic grocery store runs and pharmacy adventures).
• Willing to drive up to 30 minutes to get to clients' homes.
• Able to pass a criminal background check.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to listen actively and respond with empathy and understanding.
• A deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by patients and families at the end of life.
