Caregiving-Done Differently

Memory Care Partner | Full Bloom Memory Care®

At Full Bloom Memory Care® , we specialize exclusively in supporting older adults living with dementia and memory loss through compassionate, person-centered care.

Our philosophy is simple: people living with dementia deserve meaningful days filled with purpose, connection, dignity, and joy.

This caregiver role emphasizes activity-based dementia care. Along with providing supportive caregiving and personal care as needed, you'll help clients stay active, engaged, and connected through conversation, creative activities, and community outings.

If you enjoy building relationships, encouraging independence, and helping someone enjoy their day, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As a Memory Care Partner, you'll tailor each day to your client's personality, interests, and abilities. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading activities such as games, puzzles, music, baking, gardening, and crafts
  • Encouraging movement through walks and healthy daily routines
  • Accompanying clients to senior centers, parks, and community outings
  • Providing companionship and emotional support
  • Supporting independence while assisting with daily routines and personal care as needed
  • Building relationships with clients and families
  • Communicating with our dementia care team to support continuity of care

Engagement is a central part of this position. You should feel comfortable initiating activities, encouraging participation, and adapting your approach to each client's needs.

Who Thrives in This Role

The best Memory Care Partners are patient, dependable caregivers who also enjoy connecting with others. They naturally enjoy:

  • Building meaningful relationships and keeping conversations going
  • Finding creative ways to engage others
  • Encouraging participation and independence
  • Staying active throughout the workday
  • Remaining positive, patient, and adaptable
  • Helping people feel confident, included, and successful

We welcome both traditional caregivers and applicants with experience in:

  • Memory care, home care, or senior living
  • Social work, psychology, or human services
  • Behavioral health, autism support, or behavioral intervention
  • Education, early childhood care, or youth development
  • Recreation, enrichment programs, or community outreach
  • Theater, improv, music, or creative arts

Professional and family caregiving experience are welcome.

Why Join Full Bloom?

You'll receive specialized dementia care training, ongoing mentorship, and support in responding compassionately to behaviors and creating engaging experiences.

We also take time to understand your personality, interests, and strengths so we can thoughtfully match you with clients where meaningful relationships can develop.

We believe great care starts with supporting great caregivers.

  • $25.00/hour+ for experienced Memory Care Partners
  • Consistent full-time schedules with 8–12 hour shifts
