Experienced in dementia or Alzheimer’s care and looking for a role where that experience truly matters? McKenney Home Care is seeking Caregivers, HHAs, and CNAs who are confident supporting clients living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other memory-related conditions in a one-on-one private home setting.

McKenney Home Care is a family-owned private-duty home care agency serving Sarasota and Charlotte County. Through our Venice office, we work to match experienced caregivers with clients based on care needs, experience, availability, and location.

Where Your Dementia Care Experience Matters

Dementia care often requires more than completing daily tasks. It takes patience, consistency, reassurance, observation, and the ability to adjust your approach based on the person in front of you.

We are looking for caregivers comfortable with:

Dementia and Alzheimer’s care

Confusion, memory loss, and repetitive behaviors

Agitation, anxiety, or resistance to care

Redirection and reassurance techniques

Maintaining familiar routines and a calm environment

Personal care including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting

Transfers, ambulation, and fall prevention

Recognizing and reporting changes in behavior or condition

Companionship and meaningful engagement

Following individualized care plans and family preferences

What’s Available

Private-duty schedules vary based on client needs and caregiver availability and may include:

Day shifts

Evening shifts

Weekend shifts

Overnight shifts

12-hour shifts

Short or split shifts

Hours cannot be guaranteed. Caregiver placement is based on experience, availability, location, and individual client needs.

What You’ll Need to Complete Onboarding

Previous hands-on dementia or Alzheimer’s caregiving experience required

HHA certificate, Florida CNA license, or professional caregiving experience preferred but not required

Patience, dependability, and the ability to respond calmly to challenging behaviors

Strong communication and observation skills

Comfort working independently in a private home setting

Valid driver’s license

Current auto insurance with you listed as an allowed driver

Reliable transportation

Hands-on CPR certification — online-only CPR is not accepted

TB screening within the last 6 months or qualifying chest X-ray within the last 5 years

Level 2 AHCA background screening:

Dependable attendance, professionalism, and flexibility

Don’t have everything yet? You don’t need to have all healthcare credentials completed before interviewing. If you’re selected to move forward, we’ll explain what is still needed and guide you through the remaining onboarding requirements.

What You’ll Get at McKenney Home Care

One-on-one care: Give one client your attention instead of dividing it across a facility

Meaningful matching: Your dementia-care experience is considered when matching you with client needs

Varied scheduling: Opportunities may range from shorter visits to 12-hour and overnight assignments

24/7 support: Access to office and nursing support when you need it

A local, family-owned agency: Serving families throughout Sarasota and Charlotte County
