Services are performed by over 10,000 employees nationwide called CAREGiverssm. Each one of these individuals is bonded, insured, covered by workers compensation and has successfully passed a complete criminal background check. Their training includes a specialized non-medical eldercare curriculum that is exclusive to Home Instead Senior Care.

Services can be arranged for a few hours a week or as many as 24 hours a day. Short term respite relief or longer term care is available seven days a week, including holidays.

While Home Instead Senior Care cannot replace the love and support of an elderly person's family, our CAREGivers provide these helpful and necessary services that reduce the difficult time-consuming and often stressful aspects of family caregiving:

We offer flexible schedules, including days, evenings, overnight and weekend hours. This rewarding part-time job allows you to practically name your own schedule. And, you don't need to be medically licensed or certified.

Many active seniors enjoy being a CAREGiver because they relate so well to our elderly clients, often bonding through similar life experiences and common maturity. No previous experience is necessary. Fondness for the elderly is the main reason why so many choose to make a difference as a CAREGiver

Home Instead Senior Care's comprehensive training program helps ensure that our CAREGivers are well equipped to handle the most common eldercare situations and circumstances. And, a helpful office is always available to help answer questions and lend support.

The Role of a Caregiver

It's often the little things in life the elderly miss and need the most. Home Instead CAREGivers often become like a surrogate family member to help meet their client's needs. Companionship and human interaction are among the most important duties we provide. And, other non-medical services we perform, such as light housework, cooking, laundry, shopping and errands, also assist the elderly in remaining at home.
