Key Responsibilities: The “Household & Wellness” Cycle
You act as a “Household Manager,” ensuring the client’s environment is as healthy and organized as their physical person.

Household Management: Perform essential homemaking activities, including vacuuming, mopping, laundry, changing linens, and sanitizing bathrooms.
Respite & Companionship: Provide emotional support and companionship while offering necessary respite services for the client’s family members.

Qualified Grit: Must possess a valid CPR certification and a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS).
Linguistic Versatility: Candidates fluent in Tagalog or Cebuano are highly encouraged to apply to better serve specific client demographics.
Technical Insights: The CaregiverFirst Framework
ComForCare utilizes a “Compatibility Matching” system to ensure long-term success for both the PSW and the client.
Client Matching Protocols: You are not just assigned a shift; you are matched based on personality and skill set, which is proven to reduce caregiver burnout and improve client outcomes.
Medication Reminder Safety: Understanding the “Five Rights” of medication (Right Patient, Right Drug, Right Dose, Right Route, Right Time) even when only providing reminders.
Ergonomic Housekeeping: Utilizing proper body mechanics during cleaning tasks—such as lunging while vacuuming rather than bending at the waist—to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
Infection Control in the Home: High-touch surface sanitization (doorknobs, light switches, faucet handles) to protect immunocompromised seniors from common household pathogens.
