Caregiver

When a family is facing one of life's most difficult seasons, the right caregiver can make all the difference.

Home Instead is seeking a calm, compassionate Care Professional to support a hospice client living with advanced dementia and significant physical care needs.

This is meaningful one-on-one care where patience, dignity, and human connection matter just as much as caregiving skills.

This is not a fast-paced assignment. It is a relationship-centered role in a quiet home where emotional awareness, consistency, and hands-on care matter deeply.

The right caregiver understands that success is not measured by how quickly care is completed. Success is measured by helping a client feel safe, respected, and comfortable while giving the family confidence that their loved one is in good hands.

Schedule

• Evening 8p-10p


• Seven days per week

What You'll Do

• Provide hands-on assistance with personal care, toileting, hygiene, dressing, and daily routines


• Complete all transfers using a Hoyer lift


• Assist during meals and remain attentive to swallowing and choking concerns


• Offer companionship, reassurance, and calm redirection when needed


• Observe and report changes in skin condition, comfort level, or overall well-being


• Help maintain a peaceful, safe, and respectful environment

What Matters Most in This Home

• Calm, patient dementia care


• Gentle communication and emotional reassurance


• Consistent use of safe transfer techniques


• Close attention to comfort, dignity, and safety

What Success Looks Like

Successful caregivers in this home:

• Create a calm, reassuring presence throughout the shift


• Complete care without making the client feel rushed or overwhelmed


• Follow safe transfer and repositioning practices consistently


• Notice small changes and communicate concerns promptly


• Build trust with the family through reliability and professionalism

Physical Expectations

This role requires comfort with extensive hands-on caregiving, including:

• Hoyer lift transfers throughout the shift


• Assisting with hygiene and toileting needs

• Feel uneasy providing full personal care


• Rush through tasks to stay productive


• Get frustrated when someone asks the same question repeatedly


• Are not comfortable using a Hoyer lift


• Prefer independent clients who require minimal assistance
