Instead Senior Care is hiring caregivers to assist older persons with non-medical tasks in their residences. The response was fabulous. Come fall, Angels' Place will have 10 facilities in Metro Detroit in which 2-10 developmentally disabled adults live. We look for people who are practical, use common sense, are nurturing, joyful, sincere and have a desire to help others. They need to feel good about their work so the people they care for do, too.
Caregivers have opportunities to advance to positions as assistant managers and residence managers.
The first two levels of work are paid on an hourly basis, while managers are salaried, Loveday said. Most positions are for full work weeks. We need at least 30 people here in Wayne County. Instead caregivers may find themselves playing cards or board games with clients, running errands, doing meal preparation or light housekeeping or taking clients to doctor's appointments. Bulmer said they may be with clients in private homes, in assisted living residences or even in nursing homes.
