Join the Helping Hearts Team Make a Difference Today! Experienced Caregiver Needed for Franklin-Area Client Location: Franklin, Tennessee Schedule: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Hours: 12:00 PM–5:30 PM Weekly Hours: Approximately 16.5 hours Position Type: Consistent, part-time home-care assignment Helping Hearts is seeking a reliable, compassionate, experienced, and highly attentive caregiver to support a client in the Franklin area. This client requires full assistance with activities of daily living, including hands-on transfer assistance, and is considered a significant fall risk. We need a caregiver who understands that fall prevention requires constant awareness, close supervision, careful assistance, and proactive safety measures throughout the entire shift. 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. Responsibilities may include: Bathing or personal-hygiene assistance Dressing and undressing Grooming and oral-care support Toileting and incontinence care Mobility assistance Positioning and repositioning Safe transfer assistance Wheelchair and mobility-device assistance Meal preparation and hydration reminders General comfort and personal-care support Maintaining the client’s privacy and dignity during all care tasks Care must be provided patiently and professionally without rushing the client.

The caregiver must follow the client’s care plan and use any required gait belt, Hoyer lift, sit-to-stand lift, or other approved transfer device only after receiving proper training and authorization. If a transfer requires two caregivers or cannot be completed safely, the caregiver must not attempt it alone. The caregiver must keep the client safe and contact the Helping Hearts office immediately for assistance and further direction. 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. This is not a passive companion assignment or a position where the caregiver can sit nearby without actively observing and assisting the client. The caregiver will be expected to: Remain aware of the client’s location, mobility, and immediate needs Provide close supervision during standing, walking, toileting, and transfers Stay within a safe assisting distance whenever the client is moving Encourage the client to request assistance before attempting to stand or transfer Maintain a clear and hazard-free environment Check for spills, cords, loose rugs, clutter, poor lighting, and unsafe furniture placement Make sure mobility devices are properly positioned and within reach Make sure the client has appropriate footwear during mobility Keep commonly used items safely within the client’s reach Remain especially attentive when the client is tired, weak, distracted, or attempting to toilet Never leave the client unattended during a task when supervision is required Avoid personal-phone use or other distractions that interfere with active supervision Immediately report changes in mobility, balance, strength, or transfer ability Immediately report every fall, near fall, injury, or safety concern Complete all required incident documentation accurately and promptly The caregiver must never attempt an unsafe lift or transfer. If the client cannot be moved safely according to the care plan, the caregiver must protect the client from further injury and contact the Helping Hearts office immediately for direction. Active Engagement and Companionship The client needs a caregiver who will be present, attentive, conversational, and genuinely engaged. Meaningful companionship is an important part of this assignment. The caregiver should: Initiate friendly and appropriate conversations Offer reassurance, encouragement, and emotional support Participate in activities the client enjoys Help maintain a calm, positive, and familiar daily routine Recognize when the client may be lonely, anxious, uncomfortable, or withdrawn Encourage safe participation in daily activities whenever appropriate Respect the client’s choices, preferences, personal space, and independence Remain patient if the client needs additional time, repetition, or reassurance Provide companionship without becoming distracted by a personal phone, television, or unrelated activities We are looking for someone who understands that quality caregiving includes both physical assistance and meaningful human connection. Meal Preparation, Snacks, and Hydration Depending on the client’s care plan and preferences, responsibilities may include: Preparing simple meals and snacks Encouraging appropriate food and fluid intake Providing hydration reminders Assisting with meals when required Cleaning food-preparation areas after use Washing dishes and returning items to their proper locations Observing and reporting appetite changes, swallowing concerns, nausea, or refusal of food or fluids Following all dietary instructions listed in the client’s care plan Attention to cleanliness, nutrition, hydration, and the client’s comfort is essential. Light Housekeeping and Home Support The caregiver will help maintain a clean, organized, comfortable, and hazard-free living environment. Responsibilities may include: Tidying commonly used areas Washing and putting away dishes Completing light laundry Changing bed linens when needed Wiping down frequently used surfaces Keeping the bathroom and personal-care areas clean Removing trash Returning supplies and mobility equipment to their proper locations Keeping floors and walking paths free from fall hazards Reporting low supplies, maintenance concerns, or household safety hazards The client’s direct care, supervision, and safety must always remain the caregiver’s first priority.

Applicants must: Be comfortable entering and working in a home with a small dog Remain aware of the dog’s location when the client is walking or transferring Help prevent the dog, toys, food bowls, or leashes from becoming fall hazards Follow the client’s instructions regarding appropriate interaction with the dog Never allow the pet to interfere with the client’s care, supervision, or safety Routine pet care is not automatically part of the assignment unless it is specifically included in the client’s approved care plan. What We Are Looking For Exceptional Reliability and Continuity of Care This assignment requires a caregiver who can consistently work: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Applicants should apply only if they can reliably commit to all three scheduled days. Regular attendance, punctuality, and dependable transportation are essential.
