Home Instead Senior Care:

The world’s most trusted source of home care seeks compassionate individuals to help care for seniors. Flexible day, evening and weekend shifts available. Serve the elderly with non-medical companionship and help in their homes. No certifications required and age is no barrier. Training is provided.
Many active seniors, empty nesters, and other compassionate people enjoy being a CAREGiver because they relate so well to our older clients, often bonding through similar life experiences and common maturity. No previous experience is necessary. Fondness for the elderly is the main reason why so many choose to make a difference as a CAREGiver.
CAREGivers are special people with unique qualities and a heart for service. At Home Instead Senior Care, we know just how special — CAREGivers are the backbone of our company. For years, people who enjoy caregiving have done their jobs without pay. Thanks to Home Instead Senior Care, all of that has changed. Our CAREGivers are compensated with an hourly wage for the valuable services that they provide. But, more than that, caregiving fulfills a mission — to help keep the elderly happy and healthy in their homes for as long as possible by providing a variety of non-medical services, such as companionship and light housekeeping. Our Home Health Aides also provide personal care services such as help with bathing and dressing when the client needs such services. Certification or completion of our training program is required for these types of positions. It?s a mission that brings a wealth of rewards for our clients and CAREGivers.
Feel great about what you do at Home Instead Senior Care!
