We hope this page answers your questions about being a Caregiver with A1Care. If you have others, don't hesitate to contact us.
How do I become a Caregiver for seniors?:
If we believe you'll be a good fit, you'll be invited to come into the office for a Caregiver Orientation.
By the end of this, you'll know if you're ready to begin your career as a Caregiver for us. If you say yes, you'll be hired on the spot and can begin working and earning immediately
Before we can approve you to _work_ with our seniors, we'll need to check your references and documents, as well as perform a criminal background check.
What kind of people become Caregivers?:
Our Caregiver team is incredibly diverse We have empty nesters, people in their 50s and 60s not ready to retire, and those who want to _work_ while their children are in school or want a job at night after their spouse/partner arrives _home_.
Can I _work_
for you if I don't have any experience?:
You will need 1-2 years of paid _work_ experience, medical or otherwise. Other than that, no other experience is required We'll train you and equip you with all the tools you need to become a top-quality A1 Caregiver
What is a typical day like for a professional Caregiver?:
Because you _work_ one-on-one with seniors in their homes, your daily schedule depends on your clients' needs. Some days you'll have breakfast with a client and then _work_ a puzzle together. Or, you might drive your client to a doctor's appointment or tackle light housekeeping.
Other tasks include helping seniors with dressing, bathing, grooming, or with devices such as hearing aids and assisting in or out of a wheelchair and bed or with toileting.
Many of our Caregivers tell us about the wonderful connections they've formed with our seniors - and how much meaning these connections add to their _work_.
Do you offer health insurance?:
Yes, we offer it to our employees who _work_ full-time (30 hours or more per week).
Will you be able to accommodate my odd schedule?:
Yes We have many Caregivers who _work_ at night, on weekends, and during the day. Our Care Coordinator will _work_ with you to help ensure you get the hours and flexibility you need.
Will I need to deal with medication?:
We only help with giving pre-dispensed medication to our seniors. We do not administer or prescribe it.
Will I need to perform any type of medical procedure?:
No As non-medical Caregivers, we don't provide any medical assistance or perform procedures. We do help seniors with mobility - e.g. helping them in and out of the shower, car, etc.
