More about A Place at Home Encinitas
The work is non-medical in-home care: help with transfers, bathing, toileting, companionship, light homemaking, and medication reminders, including customized support for people living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or stroke after-effects. Scheduling is built in part-time blocks that postings market to nursing, pre-med, public health, and social work students—MWF, Tuesday/Thursday, or weekend mornings (6am–12pm), afternoons (12–7pm), and evenings (4–11pm), plus overnight options such as 11pm–6am one night a week or NOC Wednesday–Friday 7pm–7am. Starting pay for Patient Caregiver roles aimed at nursing and pre-med students is listed at $19/hr; an Executive Assistant & Caregiver track lists $21/hr for roughly 16 hours a week. Eligible NOC overnight Caregiver/CNA/Patient Care Tech work can add a $200 monthly bonus. Postings also describe learning beside experienced nurses and care managers and a path toward Care Supervisor. What you should know up front: this is franchise home care in living rooms and kitchens, not a hospital unit, and you need a reliable way to reach homes across North County within about 45 minutes.
