Care To Stay Home Caregivers
Our caregivers offer a high level of support and interaction, encouraging clients to engage in activities that stimulate thinking and promote physical well-being. This helps seniors remain engaged in life, reducing their feelings of isolation.
We meticulously screen each nursing assistant job candidate to make sure they “have what it takes” to work with our families and are licensed, bonded, and insured. Ultimately, our management team ensures that each caregiver passes the company hiring litmus test, which is, “Would we feel comfortable having this potential employee care for our own mother?”
If you feel confident you can meet our high standards of care and have at least 1-2 years of experience, we encourage you to apply for an in-home senior care job in Spokane, Washington, with Care To Stay Home.

Qualities of a Good Caregiver
We want the best for our clients, and that starts with quality caregivers. Here are some of the essential qualities we look for in an in-home senior caregiver:
- Patience – This is perhaps the most essential quality in a caregiver. Working with elderly patients, including those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, requires patience and understanding. Caregivers must remain calm and steadfast, even in stressful situations.
- Attentiveness – Caregivers must be attuned to the needs of those in their care. This requires active listening and responding appropriately to a senior’s needs. Paying attention to body language non-verbal cues is also important when working with clients who have Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
- Communication skills – Caregivers typically communicate not only with a client and their family members, but also with doctors and other medical professionals. It’s important to be able to communicate in clear, simple terms and to keep everyone up to date on important information about clients in your care.
- Confidence – Being a caregiver requires the ability to work independently and take charge of situations. Caregivers who are confident while still being sensitive and culturally competent help put clients’ minds at ease.
- Time management ability – Being an in-home caregiver often means working around a client’s schedule. You may have a limited amount of time to get many tasks completed. For this reason, it’s essential to manage your time well while still providing a high level of care.
