Location: Northwest Calgary, AB (Services will be provided in Airdrie for the first three weeks of August before permanently transitioning to Northwest Calgary.)
Position Type: Permanent Position

Join a team where care truly feels like home.

Forever Home Senior Care is a family-owned and operated home care company dedicated to helping seniors remain safe, comfortable, and independent in the place they know and love most — their own home.

We believe exceptional care goes beyond completing tasks. It's about building meaningful relationships, preserving dignity, promoting independence, and treating every client like family.

We're looking for a compassionate and dependable Health Care Aide to become part of an established care team supporting a client in Northwest Calgary.

The client has expressed a preference for a male caregiver due to compatibility with his interests and the nature of his community activities. Qualified applicants of all genders are welcome to apply, and all applications will be considered based on qualifications, experience, and overall fit.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys building genuine professional relationships while helping a client continue participating in the activities they enjoy most. The ideal caregiver is personable, encouraging, active, and enjoys spending time out in the community while always maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

The successful candidate will initially provide care in Airdrie during the first three weeks of August while the client prepares to relocate. Following the move, services will transition permanently to the client's new home in Northwest Calgary. Applicants must be comfortable travelling to Airdrie during this temporary transition period.

At Forever Home Senior Care, we recognize and reward exceptional caregivers. Compensation is regularly reviewed based on demonstrated reliability, professionalism, quality of care, communication, and overall contribution to our team. We believe in recognizing those who consistently demonstrate the values and level of care our clients deserve.
