Caregiver or CNA - Apache Junction IMMEDIATE START

Join Our Team of Compassionate Caregivers & CNAs

Application Note:

This role is tied to a specific client and an immediate start. We are seeking a kind, patient, and dependable caregiver to provide support to an 85-year-old female client living in her home in Apache Junction. We are seeking a caregiver who can cover Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM-7:00 PM. This role is full-time, 40 hours per week, however you are eligible to be considered for additional client assignments, based on your experience and availability if hired into this role, but please only apply to this job posting if you match this specific client’s need.

Client Care Needs

The client has been diagnosed with dementia and experiences short-term memory loss. She requires full assistance with all activities of daily living (ADLs), including personal care, hygiene, bathing, dressing, and daily routines. She needs a compassionate caregiver who can provide consistent, hands-on assistance, along with gentle reminders, encouragement, and reassurance throughout the day.

More Than Basic Care

Although she requires full assistance with her daily care needs, this client is sweet and engaging, and she enjoys bird and nature watching, working on puzzles with caregiver support, and meaningful, interactive conversations. We are not looking for someone who simply completes tasks. We are looking for someone who will take an active interest in her, encourage participation in activities she enjoys, provide companionship, and create positive and meaningful experiences throughout the day. Above all, we want someone who will treat her with dignity, compassion, patience, and respect. The ideal caregiver will be attentive, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy building a connection with her while providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment.

About The Next Chapter Senior Care Solutions:

We are a local, family-owned concierge home care agency built on a simple belief: caregivers and clients both deserve better than the revolving door of shift-filling that defines most of the industry. We specialize in dedicated, longer-term client assignments — 20 hours per week minimum, with most of our cases being full-time — because continuity matters. For clients, it means consistent, trusted support. For caregivers, it means stable hours, real relationships, and work that actually feels meaningful.

We take matching seriously. You won't be sent somewhere you're not the right fit, and we won't place a client with someone who isn't ready for their specific needs. That kind of intentionality is rare in this industry — and it's what we're building.

If you're looking for steady, purposeful work with a team that invests in you, The Next Chapter is a different kind of home care company.
