WelbeHealth • La Quinta, CA

About The Position

WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing comprehensive medical care and community-based services, focusing on vulnerable seniors with quality and compassion. Home Care Assistants are a vital part of the team, providing aid to participants in their homes and contributing to the care planning process as members of the interdisciplinary team (IDT). Reporting to the Home Care Supervisor, this role involves the safe delivery of personal care services to WelbeHealth participants in their homes, as scheduled and directed. Unlike traditional home care roles, Home Care Assistants at WelbeHealth work a stable, full-time schedule, are assigned participants to fill a full workday, and are re-assigned in cases of cancellations. They visit 2-5 patients per day, working shorter individual shifts that add up to an 8-hour workday, and receive reimbursement for travel time and mileage between participants. WelbeHealth is seeking individuals looking to start their career in the healthcare space, offering a holistic care team environment.
