About us
We are professional but laid back and pretty easy going non stressful homelike environment.
This position is for Saturday 8am-8pm and Sunday is a live in only because all the clients go to their adult day program on Monday morning and the other staff needs help getting all 6 of them ready. They are all out of the house by 7:30AM Monday morning. OR you can choose to do a live in for both Saturday and Sunday.
We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Caregiver or a Direct Care Staff. If you have worked at a group home before, that is always a plus but its not a deal breaker. My senior staff and myself are willing to train anyone willing to learn.
The ideal candidate has experience assisting individuals with disabilities in a Group Home setting. You must be willing to work as a team to take care of my clients to the best of your abilities. This person that I chose to hire must be able to help the current Live-In employee with maintaining the cleanliness of the Group Home including encouraging the clients to clean their rooms. The successful candidate will enjoy the chance to work in a positive environment.
Responsibilities continue:
- Number 1 priority: You must be willing to give the clients their medicine in the morning and at bedtime. It’s very easy to learn. Group Home employer will pay for the medication class for you to be certified, all you need to do is show up to the med class on the scheduled date. Senior staff and owner will continue to work with you after you have taken the med class until you are comfortable to administer by yourself.
- Help residents with basic activities of daily living like brushing their teeth, washing hair, picking out clean clothes to wear and encouraging them to take a shower (personal hygiene)
- Help residents move around their home safely. All of my clients walk and talk but sometimes they trip, so encouraging them to pick up their feet when they walk.
- Help residents with their errands and shopping if necessary (rare).
- Every other weekend, the clients go on an outing of their choice. (can be the library, dollar tree, dollar general, the park, Walmart) so a valid driver’s license goes without saying and should be ale to drive a mini van.
- Help residents with their diet, like smaller portions, low sodium diet to help them lose weight
- Communicate with healthcare professionals, family members, and friends if they call the group home’s house number.
