The Opportunity
First and foremost, a career in caregiving is incredibly rewarding on a personal level. Our caregivers are dedicated to their jobs and many develop deep bonds with their clients. They love the feeling of gratification they get from knowing they’ve spent the day helping others. Check out our testimonials to see just how much having a caregiver means to our clients and their families. If you are new to caregiving as a career, you may be wondering what you would be doing on a daily basis. From a broad perspective, you will be helping seniors age well in their homes and providing their families some much-needed relief and peace of mind, becoming a valuable member of their care team. More specifically, a professional caregiver can provide any or all of the following:
- Companionship
- Socialization and social activities
- Meal planning and preparation
- Incidental transportation and errand running
- Laundry & light housekeeping
- Medication reminders
- Personal care support (bathing and grooming)
- Incontinence care
