The short answer is yes! The question is how much time you can put into your business? Determining you caregiver rate will be another factor. You will need to either offer a unique service to what your competitors are offering in your area, or take a business model that works and make it better.

A caregiver who works in long term care is in a very privileged position and possesses the unique opportunity to hear stories of past life adventures and events. Seniors can teach us so much about the past and how it has shaped our present.
Spend time with a senior who was at one time a school principal, a court judge, CEO, Doctor, stay at home mom of five, book publisher, war veteran, pilot, business owner, engineer, world traveler, factory worker, musician etc. Listen and prepare yourself for exciting, heartwarming stories that will completely move you. You get to hear and feel the regrets, defeats, but also the successes and accomplishments, as well as how they made decisions at tipping points in their life.
When you work in memory care, your pay tends to be higher due to a higher level of skill and experience required. What is stopping you from apprenticing with a caregiver who works in memory care. Use your free time if you can not afford the time or money to attend training. You may want to look at training down the road at night, but you can still start right away to become a non medial caregiver for seniors.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to home care based services. You can take it in any direction, and the opportunities will only continue to grow as the year’s progress. What you don’t know and where to start is often the scariest part of any new venture. Whatever is holding you back put it aside and give an independent caregiver career a try. If you aren’t sure, then volunteer at a local public seniors residence. You will never regret spending your time on this earth, serving the seniors in your community.
Working as an independent caregiver will pose more responsibility for you, vs., working for a home care agency. Your caregiver rate is higher when paid privately. Pay starts above min. wage approximately $15/Hr. and can go as high as $40-/hour depending on your location, and experience.
