Live-In Caregiver Companion & Dementia Care Merrillville

Live-In Caregiver Companion & Dementia Care

Part Time • Merrillville
Responsive recruiter
Right at Home is looking for a dedicated live-in caregiver to join a coordinated care team supporting a client living with dementia. This role covers Fridays and Saturdays, giving you a predictable, recurring schedule and the chance to maximize your hours in a live-in setting. As you become more established with the client and the care team, there may be opportunities to pick up additional or different days.  

Because you'll be working alongside other caregivers as part of a team, clear communication and reliability aren't just nice-to-haves — they're essential to keeping the client's care consistent and on track. 

The client also has specific, well-established preferences about how her care and daily routine are handled, so this is a great fit for someone who takes pride in getting the details right and building real trust with the people she cares for.

Caregiver Service Area: Munster, IN

What You'll Do as a Live-In Caregiver 
  • Live in the client's home on Friday and Saturday, providing consistent, around-the-clock presence 
  • Provide fall-prevention supervision while she walks and moves around 
  • Follow her established preferences and routines 
  • Handle medication reminders 
  • Cook healthy, home-cooked meals 
  • Drive her to appointments and errands 
  • Offer genuine companionship and kind, patient engagement 
  • Gently reorient and reassure her through moments of forgetfulness  

Why Caregivers Choose Right at Home 
  • One client, your full attention — no rushing, no divided care 
  • Clear care plans, real communication — you'll always know what's expected, and you'll always be heard 
  • A stable, live-in arrangement — no daily commute, and a schedule built around a consistent routine 
  • A team that sees you — your skills, your patience, and your judgment are respected, not micromanaged
Caregiver Schedule 
  • Live-in position — caregiver resides in the client's home for two days at a time
  •  Fridays and Saturdays, with potential to grow into additional or different days as you become established with the client and care team 
  • Structured daily routine with scheduled breaks and designated off-duty time 
  • Overnight availability required as part of live-in responsibilities 
  • Days off and relief coverage arranged on a consistent, dependable basis
Caregiver Requirements 
  • 1+ year of caregiving experience; dementia care experience preferred 
  • Comfortable and experienced with live-in caregiving arrangements 
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation — required for driving the client to appointments and errands 
  • Mature and calm, with the patience to navigate a client who has specific, well-defined ways she likes things done 
  • Warm and kind — genuinely enjoys engaging with an older individual, not just completing tasks around her 
  • Ability to pass a background check and drug screen

If you take pride in helping someone feel safe, respected, and cared for on her own terms — and want the time, presence, and support to do it right — this is where you can do your best work.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305

Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
