Introduction
Home Instead is the leading provider of home care in North Idaho. We’ve earned 4.3 stars on Google because “To us, it’s Personal.” Our clients love us and we love them, and we understand that the heart of our company is our caregivers.
Our Culture
At Home Instead, you will be more than just a Caregiver. You will be a Care Professional (CarePro). We strive to honor and respect every CarePro for their unique gifts. We have a thorough training program to prepare you for your assignments, a recognition program to ensure you get the credit you deserve, and competitive pay & benefits so you or your family can be supported from your efforts.
Typical Shift
Your shift will start with traveling to the home of your assigned client. Client needs vary, so we match Care Professionals’ skills to the clients' needs. You may be asked to do light housekeeping, companionship, outings, medical appointments, showers, toileting, medication reminders, dressing, grooming, oral care, escorting, transferring, or any other ADL or IADL according to the client’s needs. You will NOT be asked to do skilled nursing tasks like administering medications, injections, wound care, or therapy.
