Full-Time First/Second Shift
Part-Time Third Shift Care Partner and PRN 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 FIRST/SECOND & PRN shift Care Partners 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.

The Wrong Person:
❌ Needs constant reminders.

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.

Caring for an aging parent can come with a lot of questions.

What kind of help do they actually need?
What options are available?
How do I know when it's time to consider a change?
What should I be looking for?
And where do I even start?

If you're at the beginning of this journey—or simply know you need to start planning—the Making the Right Move Guide is a great place to begin.

This step-by-step guide was created to help families understand the different options available, recognize common myths about senior living, know what questions to ask, and start thinking ahead before a crisis forces you to make decisions under pressure.

And if you're ready to go beyond reading and actually start working through your family's situation, you can also add the Ultimate Family Care Clarity Pack Companion Workbook.

📘 The guide gives you the information.
✍️ The workbook helps you put it into action.

Use it to organize what you're noticing, think through decisions, prepare for important conversations, compare options, and begin creating a plan that makes sense for your family.

You don't have to figure out the entire aging-parent journey today.

You just need somewhere to start.

When you’re caring for an aging parent, it can feel like every decision carries enormous weight.

Was that the right choice?
Should we have done something sooner?
What if this isn’t working anymore?
What are we supposed to do next?

But changing course doesn’t mean you failed.

Sometimes it means you paid attention. You recognized that something changed. And you were willing to adjust instead of continuing down a path that was no longer working.

In this week’s blog, Shelley shares a reminder for every daughter, son, spouse, and family care partner carrying more than most people realize:

You’re not failing. You’re carrying too much without a map.

Read the full blog here: https://holisticarehomes.com/caring-for-an-aging-parent/

Caring for an aging parent can leave you exhausted, second-guessing every decision and wondering if you’re getting any of it right. You’re not failing. Sometimes changing direction is exactly what good care looks like.

What would happen if something changed with Mom tomorrow?

Would you know where to find her medication list? Her current providers? Important legal and financial information? Would your family know what she wants—or would everyone be trying to figure it out while the clock is already ticking?

The Complete Grab & Go Aging Parent Care System was created to help families get ahead of those moments.

It brings together practical checklists, planning tools, trackers, conversation guides, and care resources designed to help you organize the moving pieces of an aging parent's care before you're trying to do it in the middle of a crisis.

And September is the time to get it.

For September only, we're offering the Complete Grab & Go Aging Parent Care System at our special September pricing—AND you'll receive a copy of our Making the Right Move Guide FREE with your order.

The guide helps you understand senior living myths, options, questions to ask, and what to consider as care needs change. Combined with the Complete Grab & Go System, you'll have tools to help you manage what's happening today while preparing for what could come tomorrow.

Because the best time to get organized isn't when the hospital calls, Mom's needs suddenly change, or your family has a decision to make by Friday.

It's while you still have time to think.

✨ September only: Special pricing + FREE Making the Right Move Guide

🎨 Sometimes the best moments are the simplest ones.

A little paint, a little creativity, and time spent together. At HolistiCare Homes, activities aren’t just about filling the day. They’re about creating opportunities for connection, self-expression, and moments our residents can genuinely enjoy.

With just seven residents, our Care Partners have the opportunity to spend meaningful one-on-one time getting to know the people they care for — what they enjoy, what makes them smile, and what helps them feel like themselves.

Because being cared for should never mean getting lost in the crowd. 💛

When someone living with dementia resists, cries out, pushes away, or simply can’t follow the directions being given, our instinct may be to explain again.

But what if more words aren’t the answer?

Sometimes connection comes through a familiar song. A prayer repeated for decades. A steady rhythm. Counting steps. Something deeply familiar that the brain can still reach even when spoken instructions have become difficult to process.

In this week’s blog, Shelley shares a real moment with a HolistiCare resident that beautifully demonstrates what can happen when we stop focusing only on what dementia is changing and start asking a different question:

What is still there?

Read “When Words Stop Working: The Gifts Dementia Can’t Take Away” and discover another way to think about dementia communication, distress, and connection.

Read the blog post here: https://holisticarehomes.com/dementia-communication-when-words-stop-working/


When words become harder to access, connection doesn’t have to disappear. Shelley shares how music, prayer, rhythm, and knowing the person behind the dementia can open another way to connect.

We believe it's often the simple moments that mean the most. Whether we're spending time outside, sharing conversations, or enjoying activities together, we're creating opportunities for connection, purpose, and joy every day.

It's all part of making our house feel like home.
