HomeCare Assistant

Job Opening

POSTED:
September 21, 2026

As they advance in the aging process, many older adults struggle with changes in mobility, managing pain, navigating the onset of dementia of oneself or one’s spouse, and/or growing unease with driving. Tasks that were once automatic can become overwhelming.

Our Home Care Assistants offer a middle-ground solution. They provide non-medical, supportive care to clients, making it possible for older adults to live in their homes for as long as possible.

As Home Care Assistant, you’ll be a key team member who rallies around your clients, giving them ground-level help with tasks they can no longer manage comfortably. Every client has a specific care plan that outlines exactly what will be done. Each client is different, of course, but the following are typical tasks in our care plans. This means you’ll be:

• Keeping the proverbial home fires burning by helping with groceries, meal prep, laundry, and cleaning, which keeps the client in an environment that is both clean, comfortable, and nourishing.

• Being the client’s travel partner by driving them to appointments or to the store. For trips to the grocery store, you’ll bring groceries in and put them away, as well.

• Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, transferring, supervision, and medication reminders in accordance with the client’s care plan.

• Providing positive, uplifting companionship to the client.

Outside of client care, we need to keep detailed, accurate records. Part of caring for clients is documenting. That means you’ll be:

• Recording tasks completed for the client each day.

• Keeping a close eye on your clients and reporting back to your supervisor about changes in function, mental health, or cognitive status that you observe. This gives clients an extra layer of protection – it is often the case that you’ll notice subtle changes before family members or medical staff who see them less frequently.

• Reporting any unsafe or unhealthy elements of their living environment.

Again, all these activities are provided in strict accordance with the care plan for each client.

Our Home Care assistants are part of our team, and as such, they participate in staff meetings and trainings. We have robust procedures and guidelines to help you do the best work you can for the clients, and we work with all our Home Care assistants to understand, interpret, and put the policies and procedures into practice.

First, do you have interest in working with older adults? This is our most successful Home Care Assistants’ best asset.

If you are the ideal candidate, you have a high school diploma, GED, or at least one year of directly related experience, particularly with the aging population. CNAs are a great fit for this position.
