❤️ About Us

Elma Home Care is a family-style assisted living community supporting adults 18+ with a focus on mental health, emotional support, and independent living.

Most of our residents are highly independent and do not require extensive physical care. Our focus is on guidance, structure, redirection, and supportive relationships.

Position Summary

We are looking for calm, patient, and emotionally intelligent staff who are comfortable working with behavioral health needs .

This role is less about hands-on care and more about:

  • Supporting healthy boundaries
  • Providing redirection and reassurance
  • Helping residents stay on routine
  • Maintaining a safe, respectful environment

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

  • Providing reminders and setup support (hygiene, meals)
  • Assisting with medications
  • Planning and engaging in fun activities
  • Redirecting inappropriate or concerning behaviors in a calm, professional way
  • Monitoring resident interactions and maintaining a safe environment
  • Supporting residents with emotional regulation and communication
  • Documenting behaviors and reporting changes to leadership
  • Encouraging independence while offering guidance when needed
  • Light ADL assistance only when necessary (most residents are independent)

⚠️ This Job Is a Good Fit If You:

  • Stay calm under pressure
  • Can set clear, professional boundaries
  • Are comfortable addressing difficult or inappropriate behavior
  • Have strong communication skills
  • Are patient, observant, and consistent
  • Understand (or are willing to learn) mental health and behavioral support

This Job May NOT Be a Good Fit If You:

  • Prefer fast-paced, task-heavy caregiving roles
  • Are uncomfortable redirecting behaviors or having difficult conversations
  • Struggle with maintaining professional boundaries

Shifts Available

  • Evening: 12PM – 10PM
  • NOC: 10PM – 8AM

Qualifications

  • 18+
  • CNA, HCA, or willingness to obtain (WA State compliant)
  • CPR/First Aid (or willingness to obtain)
  • Ability to pass DSHS background check
  • Experience in behavioral health, caregiving, or customer-facing roles is a plus

  • Lower physical demand compared to traditional caregiving
  • Meaningful one-on-one interactions
  • Strong team support
