Evening Short Shifts

Delora Care, a Helping Hearts Company is seeking a dependable, experienced, and safety focused caregiver for a private home care assignment in the Bellevue Nashville, Tennessee area
.

We are looking for a caregiver who is mature, patient, observant, conscientious, dependable, and comfortable working independently in a client’s home. This is an excellent assignment for a caregiver who understands that quality caregiving is not only about completing tasks. It is about anticipating needs, maintaining a safe environment, protecting the client’s independence, and providing consistent, respectful support.

This client is requesting care 7 days per week for approximately 3 hours per day during the afternoon
. Available shift times may include 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, or 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
. The schedule may include a combination of these times depending on caregiver availability and coverage needs.

Applicants should clearly provide the days of the week and afternoon times they are available to work
.

The client is an adult recovering at home following a recent orthopedic procedure and currently uses a walker for mobility. The client is considered an EXTREME FALL RISK
, so we are specifically looking for a caregiver who is highly attentive to fall prevention, safe transfers, proper ambulation assistance, and maintaining a clear and safe home environment.

The caregiver must be comfortable providing hands on mobility and transfer assistance using a gait belt when required

There are 9 exterior steps used to enter and exit the home
, so the caregiver must be physically capable of safely navigating stairs and comfortable assisting a high fall risk client when mobility support is required.

The caregiver will provide client focused, nonmedical personal support based on the client’s needs and preferences. Responsibilities may include assisting with safe ambulation and transfers, maintaining the walker within reach, providing standby shower assistance, preparing dinner, light housekeeping, laundry, changing bed linens, retrieving household items, grocery shopping, approved errands, watering plants, and assisting with basic pet care.

The client already has a weekly professional housecleaning service. The caregiver is not being hired to perform deep cleaning
. Caregivers are expected to keep the home tidy during the shift, clean up after activities and meals, and maintain clear walking areas to reduce fall hazards.

The home has a cat. Applicants must be comfortable working around pets and understand that pet toys, bowls, supplies, and the animal itself can create additional trip hazards for a client with limited mobility.

The ideal caregiver will notice reasonable tasks that need attention and complete them proactively rather than waiting for the client to provide constant direction.

The client may require transportation for approved outings, appointments, grocery shopping, or errands.

When transportation is provided, the client will travel in the caregiver’s vehicle, never the client’s vehicle
.

Any caregiver transporting the client must have a valid Tennessee driver’s license, current automobile insurance, reliable transportation, and a safe and properly maintained vehicle capable of…
