You will deliver personalized support in home and community settings, ensuring clients feel safe, comfortable, and empowered every day. This position emphasizes teamwork, professionalism, and a genuine passion for caregiving, all while offering paid employment with opportunities for growth and development. Duties Provide attentive patient observation to monitor health status and respond promptly to changes or emergencies. Assist clients with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility support using equipment like Hoyer lifts when necessary. Administer medications accurately following medical documentation protocols and respecting HIPAA privacy standards. Support clients with meal preparation, feeding, laundry, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe and clean environment.

Experience Prior experience in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, home health agencies or similar environments is highly preferred. Demonstrated ability to work effectively with seniors and individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Knowledge of medical terminology relevant to caregiving roles; familiarity with hospice care practices is a plus. Experience using EMR/EHR systems for medical documentation is desirable but not mandatory—training will be provided.
