Dom care providers needed
The Southwestern Pennsylvania Area Agency on Aging’s domiciliary care program is seeking individuals to open their homes to become providers in Fayette, Greene and Washington counties. This is a unique program through the Area Agency on Aging that may offer job seekers a full-time, work-from-home position with monthly compensation.
The 2023 monthly stipend rate for a dom care provider is $1,270.96 per individual. Providers may become certified through the Area Agency on Aging to house up to three individuals. Dom care is a community living, family-style housing program. Dom care providers open their homes to people aged 18 and older who cannot live independently due to physical, mental, or age-related impairments.
Dom care providers are responsible for transportation to and from appointments, setting up and supervising medications, laundry, preparing healthy meals, and ensuring individuals’ needs are met. Individuals that utilize the dom care program have often stated that they feel like they are part of the family and have even gone on vacations with the dom care providers.
To apply to become a dom care provider or for more information on the program, contact the Domiciliary Care Program at 724-489-8083, ext. 4612, or call 1-800-411-5655.
