At Care Management by Natalie, we are looking for compassionate and dedicated Companions who are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of the elderly. As a Companion, you will be a key part of our team, providing emotional support, social interaction, and assistance with activities that enrich our clients’ daily lives. We know you take pride in the care you provide for your clients. We strive to provide you the time, resources, and training to help you excel.

Pay Rate:  $18/hour

Key Responsibilities:

  • Engage clients in meaningful conversations, recreational activities, and social outings that contribute to a fulfilling and joyful life.

  • Accompany clients to appointments, events, and errands, providing transportation and companionship.
  • Observe and report any changes in the client’s health, behavior, or needs to the care management team.
  • Work collaboratively with the care management team to implement the care plan and contribute to its ongoing adjustment to suit the client’s evolving preferences and requirements.
  • Uphold our core values by treating all clients with honesty, hopefulness, and honoring their dignity at every turn.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license, insurance, and a clean driving record.

Our Promise to You:

You will get real experience coordinating with care managers to improve the quality of life for clients. Your documentation and voice when collaborating with care managers has a real impact on the care plan. You will have the time and support to provide a standard of care you can feel good about when you go home at night. Members of our team receive the support, training, and respect they need to grow within the company and feel fulfilled in their work.
