Understanding Live‑In Care

This is a live‑in position, meaning the caregiver stays in the client’s home during the assignment. The exact responsibilities, schedule, sleeping arrangements, time away from the home, and overnight expectations vary by client and care plan and will be discussed before accepting an assignment. Live‑in caregivers must be comfortable with staying overnight, maintaining a professional caregiver/client relationship, following the client’s care plan and household expectations, communicating with the office regarding changes or concerns, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and being away from home for extended periods when accepting an assignment. Live‑in care is not the same as being continuously awake and actively working 24 hours a day; specific schedules, rest periods, sleeping arrangements, and compensation will be explained based on the assignment.

What We Expect From Our Caregivers

• Show Up – Consistency matters; clients and families rely on you.
• Communicate – Keep the office informed and promptly report concerns, changes, or problems.
• Follow Through – Take commitments seriously and complete agreed‑upon responsibilities.
• Pay Attention – Notice changes in the client’s needs rather than waiting for someone else.

• Respect the Home – Conduct yourself professionally in someone’s personal living space.
• Work as Part of a Team – Maintain communication with the Griswold office team even while living in the client’s home.
