Each personal care attendant has an extensive training program focusing on quality of care and quality of life.

• Must have at least one year of experience working with a home‑care agency.
• Must have experience working with dementia clients.
• Must maintain a valid driver’s license and meet the organization’s auto insurance requirements; occasional transport of client(s) is required.
• Must be passionate about working with seniors to improve their quality of life.

Why Sage?

• We are living our mission and creating great outcomes for clients every day.
• We focus on quality of life for our clients and our employees – emphasizing work‑life balance and wellbeing.
• We are a forward‑thinking organization that values your creativity and innovation.
• We have a supportive, inclusive culture that embraces diverse perspectives and celebrates authenticity.
