The selected caregiver must be available to work all three scheduled days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Consistent attendance is essential because the client depends on a stable routine and familiar caregivers. The client also has a small dog in the home. Applicants must be comfortable entering and working in a home with a small household pet. At Helping Hearts, caregiving is more than a job, it is a calling. We are looking for someone who will treat the client with dignity, patience, compassion, and respect while remaining actively engaged and focused on the client’s safety. Primary Responsibilities Full Assistance with Activities of Daily Living The caregiver will provide respectful, hands-on assistance with the client’s daily personal-care needs as outlined in the client’s care plan.

Applicants must be able to perform the essential transfer responsibilities of this position safely and consistently, with or without reasonable accommodation. Proactive Fall Prevention and Safety Monitoring Because this client is at significant risk for falls, the caregiver must remain alert, attentive, engaged, and safety-focused throughout the entire shift.
