The Caregiver We’re Looking For Our clients need more than someone who can complete a task list. They need a caregiver who arrives on time, follows through, pays attention, and becomes a consistent part of their routine. You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have professional caregiving experience
• Have supported individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia
• Are confident providing personal care
• Communicate early when questions or concerns arise
• Understand that clients and families depend on you to be present
• Want steady, relationship-based work—not occasional shifts

Consistency matters in home care. When a caregiver misses a commitment, a senior may be left without essential support. We are seeking someone who understands that responsibility and is ready to be counted on. What You’ll Do Depending on the client’s needs, responsibilities may include:

• Providing companionship and meaningful engagement
• Assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, and other personal care
• Supporting safe mobility and helping prevent falls
• Providing dementia support, reassurance, and redirection

• Valid driver’s license
• Reliable vehicle and current auto insurance
• Ability to pass required background and drug screenings
• Comfort working in homes with pets
• Dependable attendance and professional communication

CNA certification is preferred but not required. Why Home Instead? Home Instead is a care partner—not a temporary staffing agency. We focus on consistent relationships between clients and Care Pros. You’ll receive:

• Thoughtful client matching

• Paid orientation and ongoing paid training
• Support from an office team available 24/7
