Why senior care hiring needs its own board
Search “caregiver” or “aide” on a broad job site and the results fill up with nannies, teacher's aides, pharmacy techs and warehouse openings.
An agency owner trying to staff a weekend client competes with that noise, and a CNA looking for a facility near home wastes time scrolling past posts that have nothing to do with resident care.
Here every listing is senior or home care work, whether it happens in a client's living room, a hospice patient's bedside, an assisted living hallway or a nursing home unit.
Care jobs that share a title can still look nothing alike once you read the details.
A live-in caregiver with a private client, a CNA on a memory care unit, a hospice aide covering a rural route and a med aide passing medications in assisted living may all be called aides while doing very different work under different rules.
So the listings, pay pages and career guides on this site are organized by role and by care setting rather than by job title alone.
The person behind the site
I'm Gabriel Meierotto, the founder of CaregiverHires, and every page passes my review before it is published.
First, an honest disclaimer: I am not a nurse, a CNA or a professional caregiver. I have never worked a care shift or run an agency, I hold no nursing license or aide certification, and the site has no tie to any trade association, state registry or licensing agency.
Nothing on these pages should be taken as clinical, licensing or legal guidance.
What I actually do is run the board: getting senior care openings seen by people qualified to fill them, and keeping every listing clear and readable.
Whenever a page covers training hours, certification or wages, it cites the state agency, registry or public pay data it relies on instead of my own view.
Questions about your own certification, registry status or competency exam belong with the state agency that oversees it.
How senior care jobs get onto the board
Home care agencies, home health and hospice providers, assisted living communities, nursing homes and staffing recruiters can post their openings directly.
We also collect care jobs that employers already publish on their own websites and through public job feeds.
Each collected listing links back to the original posting, so you apply with the agency or facility doing the hiring and not through a middleman.
Featured is the one paid option that affects placement: it adds a badge and moves the job above Standard listings on its role and location pages.
No other purchase changes where a job shows up in the results.
The standards behind our career guides
Caregivers and aides planning their next step lean on training requirements, certification rules and wage figures to choose a path.
One wrong detail could cost a reader a class they did not need or an offer below what the work pays, so every guide follows these rules:
- Every claim about training hours, certification or licensure links to the agency or body responsible for it.
- State-specific pages show the date their facts were last confirmed.
- Wage figures come from BLS OEWS data and cite the occupation code behind them, since federal categories often blend aides and caregivers together.
- Policy shifts, such as Medicare enrollment pauses or federal overtime rules for home care, are summarized with a citation and never presented as clinical or legal guidance.
A page shows a “reviewed by” credit only after a named, licensed nurse or other credentialed care professional has really reviewed it.
Reviewers are never invented, and writers are never given credentials they have not earned.
Treat each guide as a first step while you weigh a change in your care career.
Anything tied to your own certificate, such as registry renewal or in-service hours, should be confirmed with the state agency that holds your record.
Spot an error?
Training rules change, wage data is refreshed annually and care jobs fill quickly, so parts of this site will age.
Send a note to [email protected] with the page link and the line you think is wrong, and I will check it and fix it.
Caregivers, CNAs and nurses working shifts every week often hear about rule changes before anyone else, so their corrections are particularly valuable.
