Part-Time In Home Caregiver

Senior Helpers of Central Oregon

You could change someone’s whole day: Get someone out of bed and dressed, prepare a warm meal, share a laugh, fold laundry with care, play a favorite card game, remind about medications, and offer a steady hand on a walk to the mailbox. If lifting spirits and lending support feels meaningful to you, this could be your calling!

At Senior Helpers of Central Oregon, we are proud to enable our clients to live independently and with dignity in the comfort of their own homes. We have a local, family-oriented approach to providing care and set a high standard in dementia care, chronic disease support, and companion services. We’re seeking dedicated individuals who share our passion for improving quality of life for seniors.

A Day in the Life of a Caregiver:

Mr. Jones daughter started services with Senior Helpers because he lives with Parkinson’s. With a consistent caregiver schedule, she is able to continue working full-time and attend her kid’s activities, knowing her dad is safe and cared for at home.

Each morning, the caregiver arrives to help Mr. Jones safely manage his mobility routine, provide standby assistance with showering, and ensure he is properly dressed. The caregiver prepares a balanced breakfast and sets up his medication reminders. Light chores, such as vacuuming and kitchen tidying, keep the home comfortable and organized.

Throughout the day, the caregiver engages Mr. Jones in stimulating activities, like crossword puzzles, reading aloud from his favorite history books, or accompanying him for a short stroll outside to enjoy fresh air and conversation.

By providing this daily support, the caregiver gives his daughter peace of mind, ensures Mr. Johnson maintains his independence at home, fosters a positive routine, and promotes his health.
