About this role
Wellthy Care Network is connecting caregivers with a Houston family seeking full-time support for an older adult recovering from a fall with a compressed disc. The care recipient is non-ambulatory and requires hands-on assistance with bed transfers, personal care, feeding, and positioning throughout the day. The role involves working up to 6 hours daily across two family homes located about 10 miles apart, alternating between them every three weeks—so reliable local transportation is essential.
This position suits someone with proven experience in senior caregiving and mobility transfers, particularly with non-ambulatory individuals managing severe pain. Beyond the physical tasks, the role emphasizes continuous presence and companionship to ensure safety and comfort while the care recipient recovers. The schedule is flexible and negotiable beforehand. Compensation is $12–$15 per hour for a full-time arrangement. Note that this is a direct hire by the family, not an employment relationship with Wellthy; you'll need to pass a background check and provide proof of work authorization.
