[Jobs] Question about a company

[stella.doering at assurant.com]

Charlotte:  I looked at the website for Home Instead and it appears to be 
similar in nature to a home health company but limited to caring for 
senior citizens.  There are some other companies that do this too. 

The job duties are apt to be similar in nature to those of home maker 
assistants found in many home health agencies.  Home maker assistants 
typically do some light housekeeping, sometimes meal preparation, may 
occasionally take a client to appointments, shopping, etc.   The jobs with 
Home Instead could also involve provide adult in home day care that would 
allow a spouse or caregiver to get out of the house while leaving their 
loved one to be watched by someone to be sure they are safe.  These could 
be individuals who have some dementia or who have physical limitations. 

Have you searched for a local franchise in your area and determined 
whether they have current openings?   Depending on your skills, ability to 
get to and from the locations they would send you to, etc. it might be a 
good fit for you for part time employment.  I checked their website and 
looked up different franchise locations in a couple of states around me, 
and it appears to be legitimate.  That's not to say that every franchise 
is well run, but I don't see anything on the parent company's website that 
is a red flag for me. 

Hope this helps.

[Jobs] Question about a company






Hello.  I was wondering if anyone heard about a company called home 
instead, 
located at www.hominstead.com.  As I look for a small part-time job, I 
came 
across this through a friend and liked what I saw but have a small weird 
feeling about it.  I understand one can be hired to provide personal 
assistance services and nonmedical companionship to senior citizens.  They 

don't really talk about what kind of people they want nor is a starting 
hourly wage given.

I hope someone answers this question because it seems like my last 
question 
or food for thought was ignored or perhaps no one had ideas or experiences 

to share.

Charlotte
