HealthcareCaregiver

Right at Home is looking for a dedicated live-in caregiver to join a coordinated care team supporting a client living with dementia. This role covers Fridays and Saturdays, giving you a predictable, recurring schedule and the chance to maximize your hours in a live-in setting. As you become more established with the client and the care team, there may be opportunities to pick up additional or different days.

Because you'll be working alongside other caregivers as part of a team, clear communication and reliability aren't just nice-to-haves — they're essential to keeping the client's care consistent and on track.

The client also has specific, well-established preferences about how her care and daily routine are handled, so this is a great fit for someone who takes pride in getting the details right and building real trust with the people she cares for.

Provide fall-prevention supervision while she walks and moves around
Follow her established preferences and routines
Handle medication reminders
Cook healthy, home-cooked meals
Drive her to appointments and errands

Gently reorient and reassure her through moments of forgetfulness

Why Caregivers Choose Right at Home

One client, your full attention — no rushing, no divided care
Clear care plans, real communication — you'll always know what's expected, and you'll always be heard
A stable, live-in arrangement — no daily commute, and a schedule built around a consistent routine
A team that sees you — your skills, your patience, and your judgment are respected, not micromanaged

Fridays and Saturdays, with potential to grow into additional or different days as you become established with the client and care team
Structured daily routine with scheduled breaks and designated off-duty time
Overnight availability required as part of live-in responsibilities

Caregiver Requirements

1+ year of caregiving experience; dementia care experience preferred
