There is a powerful word in Christian history “oblate.” An oblate is often a layperson, living in general society, without religious vows, who dedicate themselves to God’s service.  Angels’ Place is blessed with many who dedicate a portion of their lives to God through the service of our residents. They work in our office, brighten our homes, provide meals, and help in many other ways.

Right now, our need for people willing to serve is urgent. Last March, we had one open caregiver position, today we have sixteen. In fact, members of our leadership team are working caregiver shifts to meet the need.

Caregivers are the people who directly care for our residents. They foster health, security, independence, dignity, community integration and spiritual growth.

Recently several people have volunteered to be an Angels’ Place caregiver in an unpaid capacity. Maybe their kids have left the nest or maybe they retired a little early. These people still have energy and intellect to be productive, but without responsibilities of raising a family or the daily shackles of a job. They have a capacity to dedicate themselves to service in ways they had previously only imagined.

In the more traditional model, others are earning $15 per hour plus benefits.And right now, new hires are eligible for a $1,000 fast start incentive.

If either scenario sounds like you or someone you know, our residents could use the help.

Continuity and consistency are important to those we serve, so dependability is critical. We’re asking for a commitment of at least four shifts per month for twelve weeks our greatest need is in the afternoon (2 -10 pm) and midnights (10 pm -6 am).

No experience necessary (you will be initially paired with an experienced caregiver) --just a caring spirit and a willingness to do the work. Like all of our caregivers, you will receive training in first aid, CPR, recipient rights, and more. You will need a negative COVID 19 and TB test plus a background check.
