Caregiver

We are looking for a patient, dependable caregiver to join our small team. You will know every resident by name, and they will know you.

What You’ll Do

• Help residents bathe, dress, groom, use the toilet and move around safely
• Assist with medications under each care plan, including nurse-delegated tasks once trained
• Cook and serve home-style meals and snacks, and help residents eat when needed
• Keep the house tidy: light housekeeping, laundry and linens
• Spend real time with residents: a walk in the garden, a card game, a song, a chat on the porch
• Notice changes in health, mood or appetite and report them
• Write clear daily notes

What You’ll Need

• Kindness, patience and a calm manner, especially with memory loss
• Reliability and good communication with residents, families and teammates
• Ability to lift, bend, stand and walk for long stretches
• Comfort with cooking and light housework
• Experience is welcome but not required

Washington Requirements

• Pass a DSHS fingerprint-based background check
• Home Care Aide certification, NAC, LPN or RN, or complete the state’s required training and certification within the time allowed
• Current CPR and first aid, or willingness to get them
• Dementia and mental-health specialty training, or willingness to complete it
• Yearly continuing education, which we help you schedule

Pay and schedule are discussed at interview. Day, evening and overnight shifts may be available.
