Live In Caregiver Couple Position in Austin Texas

Small licensed personal care home in Austin Texas seeks couple EXPERIENCED in direct care to move in and take care of up to 7 seniors.

The job involves cooking, cleaning and maintaining the house, distributing meds, showers and laundry......some of our clients are semi paralyzed, so you will need to learn hoyer lift, as they are two person transfers. Compensation: dependent on census; the couple is guaranteed $2000.00 for the first four residents; for each subsequent resident, couple receives an extra $500.00. Currently 7 residents, so cash compensation is $3500.00/month. Room: there is one large room (2,000 square feet) in the back of the house with a private entrance(opens onto the fenced back yard) and a separate window unit air conditioner to supplement the central air in the house. There is a shared bathroom outside of the bedroom to be used by caregivers. All utilities, including cable, electric, gas and phone are included with room. There is also a large lockable storage bin in the back yard, (600 square feet) for use by the caregivers. The job entails keeping the residents clean, hydrated, fed and safe from harm. The couple I am looking for is mature,calm, strong and experienced in resident care. We will train you in our ways, and request that you follow our rigid framework, as we are licensed and must follow all state rules. It is necessary that both members of the team are able to render direct care. I prefer a couple so that you are not held captive 24/7 to the facility. You will need to adhere to a semi regular schedule, so the residents receive meals, meds and hygiene in a timely manner. There is a back yard and you are allowed a small pet. You must have a clean criminal record; once hired, you will work in a nearby assisted living home for 16 hours(paid) to hone your skills. Either respond by email or call.
