✨ NOW HIRING: Night Owl With a Heart of Gold and a Brain That Works ✨

Full-Time Third Shift Care Partner
Part-Time Second Shift Care Partner
HolistiCare Homes | Elkhart, IN

Are you the kind of person who notices that Mrs. Smith didn't finish her bedtime tea and immediately wonders if something might be wrong?

Do you naturally straighten a picture on the wall, wipe the counter, fluff a pillow, or refill the ice tray without being asked?

Can you walk into a room, look around, and know what needs to be done?

If so, keep reading.
If not, this probably isn't your job.

HolistiCare Homes is not a facility.
It's a real home.

Our elders are cherished family members. We laugh together, cry together, celebrate together, and occasionally navigate life's hardest moments together.

We provide highly personalized care in a small home environment where residents are truly known, loved, and valued.

We are looking for a full-time third shift and part-time second shift Care Partner to join our small, close-knit team.

This position is ideal for someone who values relationships, meaningful work, and takes tremendous pride in leaving things better than they found them.

The Right Person:
✔ Loves older adults and treats them with dignity and respect.
✔ Can work independently without constant supervision.
✔ Notices problems before they become emergencies.
✔ Doesn't wait to be told what to do.
✔ Understands that if something needs done, you simply do it.
✔ Is dependable. Extremely dependable.
✔ Shows up on time, every time.
✔ Takes ownership.
✔ Understands that caring includes laundry, dishes, cleaning, comforting, documenting, observing, and sometimes simply sitting with someone who can't sleep.
✔ Finds satisfaction in creating peace, safety, and comfort for others.

The Wrong Person:
❌ Needs constant reminders.
❌ Believes, "That's not my job."
❌ Spends more time on their phone than engaging with residents.
❌ Calls off regularly.
❌ Watches problems and walks past them.
❌ Waits for a checklist every day.
❌ Needs to be managed minute by minute.
❌ Is looking for "just a paycheck."

A Few Truths:
We train, support, coach and expect questions. But after training and your first 90 days, we expect you to think critically, take initiative, use good judgment, and function as an autonomous professional.

If you need frequent reminders to complete routine responsibilities, this position will not be a good fit.

You will often be the only awake team member in the home overnight.

Our residents and their families deserve someone who can be trusted to see what's going on, even on the night shift.

Several members of our team have been with us for years because they value meaningful relationships, autonomy, and being part of something special.

Exceptional employees have opportunities for expanded responsibilities, leadership, and increased compensation.

We hire carefully because our residents deserve extraordinary care and our team deserves exceptional coworkers.

Requirements:
• Life experience strongly preferred.
• Dementia experience is a plus.
• Reliable transportation.
• Excellent attendance history.
• Ability to pass background checks and pre-employment screening.

Compensation: $17-$20 per hour based upon demonstrated experience, reliability, and proven ability to work independently.

Here's the most important question: Tell us about a time you noticed something important that others missed. What did you do?

Because at HolistiCare Homes, "good enough" isn't good enough.

Most care partners don't need more pressure. They need support. They need clarity. And they need a place where they can ask questions, learn, and feel less alone.

That's exactly why we created the Care Partner Membership.

Whether you're just beginning to notice changes, trying to navigate dementia, preparing for a move, or simply feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions in front of you, we're here to meet you where you are.

We intentionally created multiple membership options, including a free tier, because every family's journey is different. Some people simply want a place to start. Others are looking for deeper guidance and additional resources. Both are okay.

You don't have to wait until you're in crisis to ask for help, and you don't have to have everything figured out before receiving support.

No matter where you are on the journey, our goal is simple: to help families move forward with more confidence, more clarity, and a little less loneliness.

Because you were never meant to do this alone. 💙

Most families don't wait too long because they don't care.
They wait because they don't know what they don't know.

That's why Shelley created Making the Right Move—a practical guide designed to help families navigate aging and senior living decisions before they become emergencies.

Inside, families will discover:

• Why waiting for a crisis often makes decisions harder
• How to better understand the different care options available
• Questions that can bring more confidence and clarity to difficult conversations
• Common blind spots that many families don't recognize until it's too late

The guide itself is free. Families simply cover a small shipping and handling fee, and we'll send a copy directly to their home.

Because making the right move isn't about having all the answers. It's about having a place to start—and knowing you don't have to figure it all out alone.

Most daughters think they're preparing for the paperwork. Or the doctor's appointments. Or the move.

What they're rarely prepared for is becoming the person everyone turns to when life suddenly feels uncertain.

That invisible role carries a weight most people never talk about.

In this week's blog, Shelley shares a real moment that perfectly captures what so many daughters experience—and why supporting the person holding everyone else together matters just as much as supporting the loved one receiving care.

If you've ever felt like you're trying to keep everyone calm while quietly carrying the weight yourself, this one's for you.

Most daughters prepare for the paperwork. Few are prepared for becoming the emotional anchor for an entire family.

We need stories. We need encouragement. We need reminders that we're not the only ones navigating hard decisions and unexpected changes.

So we've changed things up a bit.

Feeling stuck doesn't always mean you're doing something wrong.

Sometimes it simply means you're carrying more than one person was ever meant to carry.

We see this every day with families navigating aging parents and caregiving. The constant decisions, responsibilities, and mental load can leave even the most capable people feeling overwhelmed.

In this week's blog, Shelley shares a personal experience of hitting that wall, what helped her move forward, and why feeling stuck is often a sign that it's time to lighten the load—not question yourself.

If you've been feeling stretched thin lately, I think this one will resonate with you.

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed isn’t always a motivation problem. It’s often a sign of mental overload and too many responsibilities at once.

Most families don’t realize something important until much later:

They weren’t “behind”… they were just missing the early signs.

Changes in memory, shifts in safety, care becoming harder than it used to be, small things that slowly add up over time.

And because it happens gradually, it’s easy to normalize it.

That’s exactly why we created the Care Readiness Checklist.

It’s a simple, thoughtful tool to help you pause and look at the full picture—before decisions become urgent or overwhelming.

Inside, you’ll find clear signs to look for across: daily living and safety, emotional wellbeing and connection, health and medical needs, home and nutrition, caregiver readiness

It’s not about making decisions for you.

It’s about helping you recognize where things actually stand—so you can move forward with clarity instead of stress.

And yes, it’s completely free.

If you’ve had even a quiet thought like “I should probably start paying attention to this,” this is a good place to begin.
