Alzheimer's & Dementia Caregiver — New Haven, CT Monday–Friday | 11AM–4PM | $22/hour

If you have experience with Alzheimer's care, you already know that the best caregivers don't just work around their clients — they work with them.

Our client is a warm woman living with moderate Alzheimer's disease in New Haven. As her condition has progressed, she needs a caregiver who understands that engagement is care. She won't initiate activities on her own, so her caregiver needs to. That means arriving each day with ideas — conversation, music, art, a gentle walk through the home, looking through a book together — and the patience and skill to encourage participation even when she initially resists.

This is a role for someone who genuinely understands dementia care and finds meaning in showing up fully for a client every single day.

Schedule:

• Monday through Friday, 11AM to 4PM 

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading activities and conversation throughout each visit

• Accompanying client for bathroom visits and assisting with clothing selection

• Preparing and serving lunch — and staying engaged during mealtimes

• Providing mobility support and accompanying client during all movement within the home

• Wheelchair assistance for outings

• Incontinence support — handled with dignity and attentiveness

• Medication reminders

• Light housekeeping — secondary to time spent with the client

What We're Looking For:

• Fluent English speaker — required

• Experience with Alzheimer's or dementia care strongly preferred

• Naturally engaging, proactive, and activity-oriented

• Comfortable with incontinence care

• Patient, warm, and able to gently redirect when needed

• Reliable and professional

What You Get:

• Competitive Pay: $22 per hour

• 1.5X Overtime Pay when working on company holidays

• Direct Deposit and Weekly Pay

• Retirement Savings Program

• Paid Time Off and Paid Sick Leave

• Positive, supportive work environment

• A back-office team that communicates and has your back

If you're the kind of caregiver who lights up a room and keeps a client smiling — we want to meet you.
