Home Health Aide

PurposeCare

Home Health Caregiver

You'll join a compassionate, fast-growing home health and home care team that supports patients one-on-one in their homes and communities. Expect to be hands-on -- providing personal care, supporting daily living needs, and making a real difference in someone's day, every shift. This is a role for someone dependable, patient, and service-driven who wants meaningful work and flexible opportunities. Licensed HHAs/CNAs are encouraged to apply -- and we also welcome motivated candidates willing to become certified.

This role matters

This is a high-impact, patient-facing caregiving role. You'll be a trusted presence in the home -- helping clients stay safe, comfortable, and independent. Your work directly supports quality of life for patients and peace of mind for their families. If you're energized by helping others, value one-on-one care, and want work that truly matters, this is a strong opportunity.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide personal care support including bathing, grooming, dressing, oral hygiene, and toileting
  • Assist with mobility, transfers, ambulation, and range-of-motion exercises per care plan
  • Prepare meals and assist with feeding as needed
  • Support medication self-administration through reminders (no independent med administration)
  • Monitor and report patient condition and changes to the supervising nurse
  • Take and record basic vital signs when trained and assigned
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and orderly client environment
  • Assist with linens and light client laundry as appropriate
  • Use safety equipment properly (rails, supports, stools, etc.)
  • Document care provided according to company and regulatory standards
  • Travel reliably to patient homes and assigned visits across your service area
  • Complete required in-service training, including annual dementia education

What success looks like

  • Patients feel safe, respected, and well cared for
  • On-time arrival and dependable attendance for assigned visits
  • Accurate, timely care documentation
  • Positive feedback from patients and families
  • Completion of required certifications and training on schedule
  • Strong communication with supervising nurse and care team

Must-have requirements

  • Age 18 or older
  • Active HHA or CNA certification or willingness to obtain certification
  • Willingness to complete competency and skills assessments
  • Ability to follow written care instructions and document services
  • Compassion, patience, and professionalism with vulnerable populations
  • Ability to work independently in home settings
  • Reliable transportation and ability to travel to client homes
  • Ability to lift up to 25 pounds
  • Willingness to complete TB testing, background screening, and onboarding requirements

Nice-to-have

  • 6+ months of caregiving or direct patient care experience
  • Home health or home care experience
  • CPR and Adult First Aid certification
  • Experience supporting seniors or medically complex clients
  • Experience working with dementia or memory care patients

Work environment & schedule

  • One-on-one care in patient homes and occasional facility settings
  • Flexible scheduling options may be available (full-time, part-time, PRN depending on market)
  • Assignments may include homes with pets or smokers
  • Travel within your preferred coverage area

Ideal candidate profile

You may be a great fit if you:

  • Are licensed -- or motivated to become licensed
  • Enjoy helping others and building trust with clients
  • Are calm, respectful, and safety-focused
  • Can handle sensitive or challenging situations professionally
  • Are dependable and punctual
  • Communicate clearly with patients, families, and nurses
  • Want meaningful, people-centered work

If you're ready to make a daily difference in someone's life -- we'd love to meet you.
