DSHS certificates in mental health and Developmental disabilities are required, but if you do not have them, we will pay for the classes.
AFH in Bellevue is looking for a weekend live-in caregiver that has mental health experience. Understanding and communicating with mental health clients is required. It is important in case there are interpersonal issues with residents.
The home serves men with high functioning mental health and DD diagnosis. The age rage is 52-83. As long as the food is great, they’re happy. Overall, the home is quiet and there is downtime throughout the day.
Generally no hands on care, transfers, or personal care. They are all independent with ADLs. There might be random occurrences where a resident will require help with personal care.
Duties include med administration, reminders, cooking, laundry, and occasionally addressing behavior issues.
Residents sleep through the night. A few will get up to go to the bathroom or go into kitchen for water at night. If there is an emergency during the night, you will be compensated for the time awake.
Because the residents are independent with their ADLs, you may leave the home for a few hours a day if needed.
