Job Description
Job Summary Columbine Caregivers is a locally owned home healthcare agency that has served the Grand Junction area for over 30 years. We pride ourselves in having the best team of caregivers in the valley. We have unique employment opportunities for those looking to help others in a highly rewarding line of work. We are currently looking for kind, caring, and compassionate people to join our team. We currently have openings for Caregivers/Personal Care Workers. We're looking for the best candidates in the valley and only employ those who have a genuine interest in helping others. At this time, we have an immediate need for caregivers with weekend availability, specifically Thursday through Monday shifts. If you are dependable, compassionate, and available on weekends, we would love to hear from you. Personal Care Workers help with a wide variety of needs. Some of the more basic common tasks may include helping with daily activities like meal preparation, dish washing, making a bed, laundry and light housekeeping. Other common tasks can include helping with bathing, ambulation assistance, incontinence care, companionship and safety supervision. There are typically a variety of shift schedules available, including mornings, days, evenings, and overnights during both the weekdays as well as the weekends. Our caregiver shifts range from 2 hours to 12 hours each (primarily in the client's home). In most cases, caregivers will see multiple clients within one day. Columbine Caregivers does provide both travel-pay as well as mileage reimbursement. Travel pay is additional pay in-between shifts that are scheduled within one hour or less of each other and compensates for the time it takes to get to the next client's home. Mileage reimbursement compensates for any driving that is done during a shift helping with errands or appointments. We are a fast-growing company looking for great people that want to make a difference! Duties Assist clients with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support. Monitor patients' vital signs and observe changes in health status to ensure timely intervention. Prepare nutritious meals tailored to individual dietary needs and assist with meal planning and cooking.

Knowledge of first aid, CPR, and emergency response procedures ensures safety during critical situations. Familiarity with care plans, medication administration, and patient monitoring is essential for effective caregiving. Group home experience or long-term care background provides valuable insight into managing diverse client needs. Working knowledge of HIPAA regulations guarantees confidentiality and privacy in all interactions. Demonstrated ability to perform heavy lifting safely and handle physically demanding tasks is required for certain roles.
