About The Position

WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing comprehensive medical care and community-based services. We serve the most vulnerable seniors with better quality and compassion in a value-based model. Our Home Care Assistants are a vital part of our team, providing aid to our participants in their homes as well as contributing to the care planning process as a member of our interdisciplinary team (IDT). Reporting to the Home Care Supervisor, the Home Care Assistant will provide safe delivery of personal care services to WelbeHealth participants in their home, as scheduled and directed. This role is different because Home Care Assistants at WelbeHealth: Work a stable, full-time schedule – unlike traditional home care roles, you will be assigned participants to fill a full workday, and will be re-assigned in cases of cancellations or unforeseen circumstances. Visit 2-5 patients per day depending on participant needs and care plans, working shorter individual shifts that still add up to an 8-hour workday. Receive reimbursement for travel time and mileage between participants.
