Experienced in dementia or Alzheimer’s care and looking for a role where that experience truly matters? McKenney Home Care is seeking Caregivers, HHAs, and CNAs who are confident supporting clients living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other memory-related conditions in a one-on-one private home setting.

McKenney Home Care is a family-owned private-duty home care agency serving Lee and Collier County. Through our Bonita Springs office, we work to match experienced caregivers with clients based on care needs, experience, availability, and location.

Where Your Dementia Care Experience Matters

Dementia care often requires more than completing daily tasks. It takes patience, consistency, reassurance, observation, and the ability to adjust your approach based on the person in front of you.

We are looking for caregivers comfortable with:

Dementia and Alzheimer’s care
Confusion, memory loss, and repetitive behaviors
Agitation, anxiety, or resistance to care
Redirection and reassurance techniques
Maintaining familiar routines and a calm environment
Personal care including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting
Transfers, ambulation, and fall prevention
Recognizing and reporting changes in behavior or condition
Companionship and meaningful engagement
Following individualized care plans and family preferences

What’s Available

Private-duty schedules vary based on client needs and caregiver availability and may include:

Day shifts
Evening shifts
Weekend shifts
Overnight shifts
12-hour shifts
Short or split shifts

Hours cannot be guaranteed. Caregiver placement is based on experience, availability, location, and individual client needs.

What You’ll Need to Complete Onboarding

Previous hands-on dementia or Alzheimer’s caregiving experience required
HHA certificate, Florida CNA license, or professional caregiving experience preferred but not required
Patience, dependability, and the ability to respond calmly to challenging behaviors
Strong communication and observation skills
Comfort working independently in a private home setting
Valid driver’s license
Current auto insurance with you listed as an allowed driver
Reliable transportation
Hands-on CPR certification — online-only CPR is not accepted
TB screening within the last 6 months or qualifying chest X-ray within the last 5 years
Level 2 AHCA background screening: https://info.flclearinghouse.com
Dependable attendance, professionalism, and flexibility

Don’t have everything yet? You don’t need to have all healthcare credentials completed before interviewing. If you’re selected to move forward, we’ll explain what is still needed and guide you through the remaining onboarding requirements.

What You’ll Get at McKenney Home Care

One-on-one care: Give one client your attention instead of dividing it across a facility
Meaningful matching: Your dementia-care experience is considered when matching you with client needs
Varied scheduling: Opportunities may range from shorter visits to 12-hour and overnight assignments
24/7 support: Access to office and nursing support when you need it
A local, family-owned agency: Serving families throughout Lee and Collier County
