• Providing companionship and meaningful engagement through conversation, activities, and emotional support
• Assisting with personal care needs including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and hygiene support

• Performing light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, dishes, tidying common areas, taking out trash, and maintaining a clean and safe living environment
• Providing medication reminders in accordance with the care plan (no handling or administering of medications)
• Assisting with mobility, repositioning, and safe transfers, including the use of walkers, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids
• Providing transportation assistance for medical appointments, errands, grocery shopping, or other approved outings
• Providing respite care support to give family caregivers a needed break while ensuring continuity of care
• Following all care instructions, documenting shift activity appropriately, and communicating any changes in the client’s condition or needs to the office promptly
• Supporting each client’s independence, personal preferences, daily routines, and overall well-being with professionalism and respect

You will help create a safe, respectful, and positive experience for every client by showing up on time, following care plan instructions, maintaining professional boundaries, and treating every home you enter with care and respect.
