Job Description

Our organization is dedicated to providing compassionate caregiving services across the Shoreline area, including Guilford, Wallingford, Durham, Haddam, and other surrounding communities from New Haven to Old Saybrook. We specialize in elder care, particularly Alzheimer's and dementia care, offering an environment of respect and dignity to our clients. Founded by an individual who personally experienced the challenges of caring for aging parents with dementia, our company is built on the mission to alleviate the burden for families and provide exceptional support to vulnerable community members. We believe in the importance of offering financial stability, flexible working schedules, and a supportive workplace culture, particularly for caregivers who play a critical role in the lives of elderly adults.

As a caregiver in our team, you will have the opportunity to work in either part-time or full-time roles with competitive wages starting from $17 to $20 per hour. Our employees benefit from a culture that prioritizes ongoing education, paid training, and comprehensive support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also provide innovative payment options such as TapCheck, enabling caregivers to receive their pay immediately after a shift. The work environment fosters growth with opportunities for career advancement in senior care, reinforced by a referral program, sick paid time off, and performance incentives. Our full coverage extends through areas including New Haven, North Haven, East Haven, Northford, Branford, North Branford, Guilford, Madison, and Wallingford.

This caregiving role involves offering companionship and support to elderly clients, assisting with light housekeeping tasks, meal preparation, running errands, providing transportation to appointments, and supporting daily living activities. Specialized care for clients with Alzheimer's or dementia is a key component, emphasizing individualized attention and compassionate understanding. We seek caring individuals who are committed to enriching the lives of aging adults in our community. The role requires effective communication skills, respect for client dignity, weekend availability if applicable, and compliance with Connecticut state regulations including required background checks and screenings.

Our mission underscores a heartfelt commitment to relieving the strain on families who care for aging parents or loved ones with cognitive challenges by providing dependable, empathetic caregiving professionals. By joining this team, caregivers will become an invaluable part of a service that deeply values integrity, respect, and quality care tailored to the needs of each client. Our flexible scheduling options and strong support infrastructure make this an ideal opportunity for those who value work-life balance and seek meaningful employment in senior care.
