We are specifically seeking an experienced professional caregiver with at least 5 years of direct, paid caregiving experience.

CNA Certification:
CNA certification is preferred but not required. Highly experienced non-certified caregivers who meet the professional experience requirements are encouraged to apply.

This is a non-medical support role, but the caregiver will work in a high-acuity home care environment. The ideal candidate will be:

• Comfortable working around a ventilator and feeding tube. The clinical home health team manages the medical equipment.
• Experienced assisting fully immobile or total-assist clients.
• Comfortable with frequent positioning, transfers, and extensive personal care.
• Willing to learn and assist with an Eye-Gaze communication device so the client can effectively communicate their needs.
• Comfortable collaborating closely with nurses and other members of the client's clinical care team.

Meal Preparation:
Plan and prepare meals and assist with oral nutrition protocols as outlined in the non‑medical care plan.

Light Housekeeping:
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe environment around the client's care area.

Companionship & Communication:
Provide attentive companionship and assist the client with communication needs, including learning to work with the client's Eye‑Gaze communication system.

Collaboration:
Work seamlessly alongside the home health nursing team and promptly report changes in the client's comfort, condition, or needs.
