This is more than simply being present with a client. Our clients and their families depend on our Caregivers to actively provide the care, companionship, supervision, and household assistance outlined in each clients care plan.

• Weekly pay
• Flexible scheduling
• Overtime opportunities
• Employee recognition programs, bonuses and discounts where available
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Advancement opportunities
• Scholarship opportunities through the Jean Griswold Foundation

• Providing companionship and meaningful interaction
• Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, feeding, and other activities of daily living
• Preparing meals and assisting with groceries
• Laundry and changing linens
• Light housekeeping, including kitchens, bathrooms, dishes, and maintaining a clean and safe living environment

• Respect that every client has different preferences, routines, and expectations.

• Professionally accept direction from clients, family members, and the Griswold office.
• Ask the office for guidance when they are unsure whether a requested task is appropriate.
• Recognize safety concerns and respond promptly.

Dementia and Memory-Care Assignments

Some Griswold clients live with dementia, Alzheimers disease, memory loss, or other cognitive impairments.

These assignments may require:

• Close observation and supervision

• Previous professional caregiving, home-care, assisted-living, CNA, personal-care, or similar experience is strongly preferred.
• Relevant experience caring for a family member or loved one will also be considered.
• Candidates without professional caregiving experience must demonstrate strong reliability, judgment, communication skills, and successful completion of required training before independent placement.
• Must be able to communicate effectively with clients, families, and the Griswold office.
• Must be able to complete required shift documentation accurately and on time.
• Must successfully complete applicable background checks, registry screenings, and other pre-employment requirements.
• Must be able to perform the essential functions of the assigned position, with reasonable accommodation where required by law.

This Position May Not Be the Right Fit If...

• Prefer to decide which assigned tasks you will or will not perform without consulting the office.
• Have difficulty accepting direction or feedback.
• Are frequently unavailable for scheduled shifts.
• Prefer a position where you can remain disengaged unless the client specifically asks for assistance.

We want both our Caregivers and our Clients to have successful experiences, so we believe in being clear about expectations from the beginning.
