HHA / STNA - Help People at Home - Summit County
About The Position
This role involves providing in-home assistance to clients, primarily older adults, helping them with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, and companionship. The work is physical, requiring caregivers to be on their feet and assist clients with mobility. Caregivers typically work with 2-4 regular clients, fostering long-term relationships. The position does not involve administering medication or performing medical tasks, which are reserved for nurses. Caregivers have flexibility in setting their work limits, including travel distance, availability, and preferences for clients (e.g., regarding pets or smoking), which influences the speed of assignment and potential hours. Reliability is tested during the first two weeks with fill-in shifts, after which regular clients are assigned. Additional hours can be picked up through fill-in shifts. Limits can be adjusted later by notifying the agency.
