• Plan and prepare nutritious meals and snacks according to the client’s therapeutic diet.

• Perform light housekeeping tasks to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy home environment.

• Report all observations and any changes in a client’s condition immediately to the RN Case Manager.

• Accurately document all care and observations from your visit using our Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system.

Job Requirements

• Minimum 1 year of experience as a Personal Care Worker (PCW) is required.

• Previous experience in a home health care setting.

• A valid driver’s license and a reliable, insured vehicle to travel between client homes (primarily serving South Milwaukee, Cudahy, and Oak Creek).

• Must have a positive attitude, be a team player, and be able to accept and take direction.

• Must be reliable, on‑time, and able to keep a consistent schedule.

• Able to pass a pre‑employment physical and drug screen.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience caring for clients with dementia, ALS, MS, or quadriplegia.

• Solid PCW skills including transfers, catheter care, bowel program, range of motion, etc.
