I’ve been reflecting on how much the caregiving field has changed over the past few years, especially in big cities where demand is high but finding a position that truly fits your needs can be tricky. A friend recently shared her experience about starting out in senior care with minimal guidance, and how she struggled to understand what opportunities for growth really existed. It made me think: how do people decide which employers actually provide a supportive environment versus those that just fill shifts without considering staff development? If anyone has experience navigating this, I’d love to hear how you determined which companies were worth applying to.
