Blue Water Homecare•Lampasas, TX

About The Position

We are growing to be one of the most recognized names for quality senior care in Central Texas and we are seeking Personal Care Assistants to perform any and all non-medical activities that result in making our clients comfortable, safe and able to live where they choose to live. In everything that we do, we strive to make the lives of seniors in Central Texas and the lives of our employees more fulfilling. Our mission is simply to provide the highest quality, personalized care to seniors and their families. Our founder Jennifer Prescott, RN, MSN, CDP spent many years as a hospice nurse and as well as leading healthcare agencies. During this time she recognized gaps in care for seniors that chose to stay in their homes. Once care needs grew beyond basic companion care, seniors and their families too often were assigned caregivers that were unprepared. There clearly was a need for higher quality private care and the skilled management of that care. It was this unfulfilled need and Jennifer’s relentless passion that became the early roots of Blue Water. We recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary and added Blue Water Hospice in 2021. We strive and pride ourselves on being different than our competitors. And we believe this difference starts with our employees. That is why we believe so strongly in supporting employees with a stellar management team that has 100+ years of geriatric care experience and is staffed by RN's that are on call 24x7. It is no wonder that we were Hill Country News "Best of the Best" in 2020, and 2021, and Best of Senior Resource Guide 2021, and Austin American Statesman Readers Choice 2022! Are you tired of working with 15 patients each shift? Do you miss 1:1 care? Have you been looking for a company that cares about their employees? Are you having problems finding enough hours to meet your needs? Are you looking for a company where you can grow your career? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, we’d love to hear from you! You will love our mentoring program! Not only will you have a person that is there for you when you need it, you can also grow with our company's mentor career ladder. And you'll love our meet and greets--never walk blindly into a client's home!
