Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider.

We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
There is a small fee but well worth the subscription. There are all kinds of jobs in every sector and the companies are vetted. There are flex jobs, part-time, full-time, remote, hybrid model. You name it.
They also showcase certain companies that are hiring a lot of employees.
You can upload your credentials and don't put your actual street address on your resume until after the offer has been made. This was on the Today show years' ago and it's legit.
You may have to kiss a few frogs before you land your dream job. It's good practice to interview online even if you are not interested in the job. It's different now, the world of work. You often meet with your boss in this little square. It is what it is. Have a decent background, if you wear glasses put them on, no dishwasher running or tv on, no dogs barking. A collared shirt always looks good too.
Basically, you just list your availability. You don't have to go onto great detail about your homelife responsibilities but simply this is what I am seeking and list your "must haves". The remote work is only going to expand.
I recommend an ethernet cord, a USB headset and an attached key board that you can use rather than the keyboard that is attached to your laptop. Get a decent computer chair that's comfortable, have the whole set up so when you go to work, you feel prepared.
It's the wave of the future...best of luck to you. Again, you don't have to share your details what you are responsible for after work. A flex job may be a better option for you since you can set your schedule around what's going on at home.
Some people used LinkedIn but I think www.flexjobs.com might be a better option for you. You can also list the geographic location. The cruise ships, hotels, medical all hiring Customer Service too.
There are some great opportunities out there...You only have to find "one" job. I'm sure you are quite capable. Amen...
I’m not sure what you are looking for but check out ratracerebellion.com. They have every kind of job you can imagine. They have the website and also send out a newsletter every week. They list hundreds of work-from-home jobs, part-time jobs, etc. Don’t listen to naysayers…..besides myself, several of my friends/neighbors have gotten great jobs by using this site. Check it out!
I have three part time mostly remote jobs related to my church that make up full time work. If I were caregiving more and more directly, I would get rid of two of them. Yes, possible, but not a generic job available on line. My main skill is bookkeeping and it is VERY doable from home with the online resources available. I am an executive director for a remote non-profit organization - meaning there is no building. Everything we do is "from home" though we do travel to meet others in the same arena a couple times a year. Again, very specialized, so possible, but not a generic, find on Indeed job.
Yes, I have been working remotely for a few years now. My job was extremely flexible while my parents were alive. As a matter of fact, some of the ladies that I work with homeschool their kids too. Just make sure that the jobs you are applying to are legit. Do your research on yhe company. My job is located out of state.
I don't think I would mention that your a caregiver as it may dissuade an employer but I'm taking care of my mother and I know I could do it. I'm sure she is easier than some. I've had some customer service people on the phone when I hear kids in the background so I know they're working from home. That is one job I think could be done?
I don't believe companies give jobs out of sympathy. That's just a fact. They DO understand we all have families and are all, being human, prey to illnesses ourselves. They may or may not be more or less willing to make accommodations--some according to law, some according to policy.
My SIL works in a highly specialized job in his company, and one in which he is free to spend as much time as he wishes AT the facility and as much as he likes working from home, this being because basically his job is what it is and can easily be done in either place. Another friend, a graphic artist, does all the computer graphics for a certain large University Hospital, and works from her van on the road any place in the country can go wherever she pleases.
It's just my opinion, but if your job is "doable" from home, you are likely to find a company more than happy to have your working solely from home, this having really nothing to do with your reasons for wishing to do this work from home.
I sure wish you good luck. But our jobs often have very little to do with the "sympathies" of our employers. That's just rare as hen's teeth, I am thinking.
Just my opinion here. Those people I know who work from home, time clock in and out. They must start at a particular time and stop at a particilar time. The take lunch like anyone else. So caregiving would be hard unless you find a job that is flexable.
I have found that employers can be sympathetic to an employee that has to care for a LO, but in the longrun, thats a situation you need to handle. Employers need employees they can rely on. Not who are getting calls all day long from a Dementia parent who does not understand that you are working.
If you need to work, then you may not be able to care for someone. You may need to make other arrangements.
