Caregiver - Awake Overnight

The house is quiet overnight, but the work still matters.

At Honey’s House, most residents are sleeping during the night. That means the overnight shift has a different rhythm: calm resident monitoring, immediate response when someone needs help, and steady behind-the-scenes work that helps the home start the next day clean, organized, and ready.

We’re looking for an awake overnight Caregiver / Personal Care Attendant who is dependable, alert, and comfortable balancing resident safety with laundry, cleanup, light housekeeping, and home-reset tasks.

This is an awake shift. You must remain fully awake, alert, and immediately available for the entire shift.

About Honey’s House

Honey’s House is a licensed assisted living home in Austin, Texas. We care for 22 residents in a warm, highly personal environment with a private chef, involved families, and a team that knows every resident by name, routine, and what helps them feel safe.

This is not a large institutional setting. It is a real home environment, and every detail matters — from how a resident is comforted at 2:00am to whether the laundry is ready when the day team arrives.

About the Shift

You’ll receive a full handoff from the day team and help oversee the home overnight.

Most residents will be asleep, but you are responsible for remaining aware, available, and ready to respond. Overnight responsibilities include resident checks, toileting support when needed, repositioning, responding to call-outs or wandering, monitoring safety risks, completing laundry and light housekeeping, restocking supplies, and preparing the home for the next day.

Resident care and safety always come first. Household tasks are completed between resident checks and resident needs.

What You’ll Do

• Receive and review handoff notes from the day shift
• Conduct regular resident checks throughout the night according to each resident’s care plan
• Remain fully awake, alert, and immediately available for resident needs throughout the entire shift
• Assist residents with nighttime needs as they arise, including toileting, repositioning, mobility support, comfort, and redirection
• Monitor for wandering, fall risks, unsafe situations, and changes in condition
• Respond promptly when a resident wakes, calls out, becomes restless, or needs assistance
• Notify the on-duty manager when concerns arise or escalation is needed
• Respond calmly to dementia-related behaviors using redirection, de-escalation, reassurance, and compassionate presence
• Complete overnight laundry, including washing, drying, folding, organizing, and putting items away as directed
• Help reset resident rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and care spaces for the next day
• Complete light housekeeping tasks, including tidying, sanitizing surfaces, emptying trash, restocking supplies, and keeping the home clean and orderly
• Support inventory checks and notify the manager when supplies are low
• Maintain a safe, calm, and secure environment throughout the night
• Document resident care notes and relevant updates in the electronic health record system
• Provide a clear, thorough handoff to the incoming day shift
• Support safe evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency

What You Bring

• Prior caregiving experience required
• Dementia, Alzheimer’s, assisted living, memory care, or long-term care experience strongly preferred
• Active Texas CNA certification preferred, but not required
• Ability to remain fully awake and alert for the entire shift
• Ability to assist with transfers, mobility, toileting, repositioning, dressing, grooming, and other activities of daily living as needed
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, lift, carry laundry, clean, restock, and support residents safely throughout the shift
• Comfort completing laundry, cleanup, light housekeeping, and organization tasks during quieter overnight hours
• Calm judgment when residents are confused, anxious, restless, or awake during the night
• Sound judgment about when to act independently and when to escalate
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Comfort documenting care notes in an electronic health record system
• Reliability, punctuality, and a deep sense of responsibility
• Respect for the trust families place in the overnight team

Before assuming care responsibilities, you’ll complete required orientation and dementia-specific training. During your first days of employment, you’ll receive structured, supervised training covering activities of daily living, resident safety, emergency and evacuation procedures, behavior management, de-escalation, fall prevention, documentation, and Honey’s House care standards.

Ongoing annual in-service education is required.
