Caregiverlist.com's job application allows professional senior caregivers and nursing aides to submit one job application and be connected to multiple senior care companies in their area, as senior care company's hiring needs vary from week to week, as seniors are admitted and discharged from hospitals and nursing homes.
Caregiverlist.com provides caregiver certified training, powered by aQuire Training Solutions, to assist caregivers to become proficient in the physical and emotional aspects of senior care.
"In-home care is one of the fastest growing areas of elder care today," comments Julie Northcutt, Founder and CEO of Caregiverlist. "Seniors prefer to stay at home, and families want to make sure they receive the quality help they need to be able to stay at home for as long as possible."
