    Tired of rushing from client to client and not having time to provide the care you know is right?

    We’re looking for experienced caregivers who want to bring both skill and compassion to their care.
    Serving clients in Northwest Indiana


    What You’ll Do
    Client needs vary — some require companionship, others need hands-on care.

    • Assist with ADLs (bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding, mobility) 
    • Support ADLs (meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders) 
    • Provide hands-on care such as bathing, repositioning, hygiene, and support for bed-bound clients
    • Care for clients with dementia, Parkinson’s, and other conditions
    • Use patience and professionalism when clients are resistant or having a difficult day


    Why Caregivers Choose Right at Home
    • One-on-one care — no rushing between multiple residents 
    • Clear care plans and communication
    • Flexible scheduling
    • A team that values both your skill and compassion


    Earn More with Experience
    Higher pay opportunities for caregivers with experience in:

    • Dementia or Parkinson’s care 
    • Bed-bound care and repositioning
    • Hands-on personal care (bathing, transfers, hygiene) 
    • Catheter or colostomy care


    What We’re Looking For
    • Compassionate, reliable, and respectful 
    • Experience with personal or hands-on care
    • Comfortable supporting clients with different levels of need


    Requirements
    • 1+ year caregiving experience 
    • Driver’s license and reliable transportation 
    • Ability to pass background checks


    If you take pride in helping people feel safe, respected, and cared for — and want the time and support to do that well — this is where you can do your best work
    Compensation: $15.00 - $17.00 per hour
