Typical Shift

Your day will consist of traveling to the home of your assigned client. Client needs vary so we match Care Professionals' skills to the clients. You may be asked to do light housekeeping, companionship, outings, medical appointments, showers, toileting, medication reminders, dressing, grooming, oral care, escorting, transferring, or any other ADL or IADL according to the client's needs. You will NOT be asked to do skilled nursing tasks like administering medications, injections, wound care, or therapy. You will never be asked to go to a client's home for the first time alone! Your assigned senior care manager will meet you at each assignment for the first time to support you and introduce you to the senior you will be assisting.
