We are looking for a reliable, patient, and compassionate caregiver to support an adult woman in her home. This position is ideal for someone who is calm, attentive, and comfortable providing hands‑on assistance with daily living tasks.

Hours

• Saturdays: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Job Responsibilities

Meal Preparation

• Prepare simple, healthy meals not from cans.
• Support safe eating:
  • She does not recognize hunger cues and may forget she has eaten.
  • She has a paralyzed vocal cord, which can cause her tongue to protrude while eating. When this happens, she must switch to soft foods such as shakes.
  • She may have difficulty swallowing at times.
  • Only spoons may be used—no forks or knives.

Personal Care & Daily Living

• Assist with changing into clean clothes.
• Provide light housekeeping support.
• Help her learn simple cooking tasks (e.g., making a boxed cupcake mix).
• Offer patient, understanding interaction—she may become irritable when frustrated, especially in the mornings.

Errands & Household Support

• Occasionally pick up groceries or standing orders (e.g., Walmart pickup).
• Provide general support to help her maintain a safe and comfortable home environment.

Additional Information

• Mornings can be challenging for her, so a caregiver who is steady, kind, and not easily rattled will be a great fit.

Ideal Candidate

• Dependable and punctual
• Patient, understanding, and comfortable with unique care needs
• Able to follow specific meal and safety guidelines
• Willing to help with errands and light household tasks
• Experience with caregiving preferred but not required if you are willing to learn

Who is Community Horizons?
Community Horizons provides support to individuals and families enrolled in self-directed care programs across Wisconsin, including services through Managed Care Organizations, IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct), and the Children’s Long-Term Support (CLTS) program.

Self-direction allows participants to make their own choices, selecting who provides their care and how those services are delivered.

While Community Horizons offers guidance and mentorship, we are not the employer of record. Participants and families make all hiring decisions, with a third-party fiscal agent handling payroll and employment paperwork.

Our mission is to help individuals of all ages navigate self-directed care with connection, coordination, and compassion.
