Job description

WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing comprehensive medical care and community-based services. We serve the most vulnerable seniors with better quality and compassion in a value-based model.

Reporting to the Day Center Manager, the Personal Care Assistant is accountable for safely delivering personal care services to participants at the WelbeHealth day center, as well as contributing to the care planning process as a member of our interdisciplinary team (IDT).

This role is different because Personal Care Assistants at WelbeHealth:

• Collaborate with different departments within our day centers, building strong connections not only with participants, but with team members as well
• Unlike in a traditional assisted living facility, our Personal Care Assistants have the opportunity to care for seniors in a lively day center where our participants receive full-service care ranging from medical appointments, to rehabilitation services, to participating in games and activities

We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:

• Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
• Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
• 401K savings + match
• Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
• And additional benefits!

On the day-to-day, you will:

• Provide hands‑on personal care assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) to WelbeHealth participants, including but not limited to assisting with escorting, toileting, bathing, dressing, grooming, laundry, and physical lifting when transferring participants
• Measure and document participants’ vital signs as instructed
• Act as a medical escort when needed, assisting participants with safely boarding and exiting WelbeHealth transportation vehicles
• Oversee activity on the day center floor to assure participant safety
• Assist with meal service, ensuring participants receive the correct meals, as well as assist with feeding when needed
• Maintain personal care supplies such as incontinence supplies and grooming items

Job requirements include:

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification required
• Minimum of one (1) year of experience providing personal care to seniors
• Must be willing and have the ability to safely drive to and from participant escort assignment locations, including but not limited to medical and care appointments in the program service area
• Food Handlers Certification within 30 days of hire
• Must obtain CPR and First Aid certification within 180 days of hire and maintain certification thereafter; CPR and First Aid certification upon hire preferred

We are seeking a Personal Care Assistant that’s looking to start their career in the healthcare space. If you’re ready to join a holistic care team that values both its participants and team members, we’d love to hear from you!

Compensation consists of base salary plus bonus. WelbeHealth offers a competitive total rewards package that includes a 401(k) match, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and a broad range of additional benefits. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience and relevant qualifications.
