Care Specialist

The Care Concierge LLC is a personal concierge service. We make the lives of our clients and their families easier. While we serve clients of all ages, the majority of our clientele are in their 80s and 90s. While many of our clients are fiercely independent, they are now finding they could use assistance with various tasks. Others are beginning to experience mild cognitive issues and their families prefer that a companion be with them for several hours each day. No two days at The Care Concierge are alike. One day you can be watching a movie with someone and the next day baking brownies with someone else. One day you accompany someone to Wegman's to pick up groceries and the next day you accompany someone to Lowe's to pick out a washing machine. If you have a heart for people and love variety, The Care Concierge is the place for you. Apply today
