Job Description
Live-In DSP – Dementia Care Experience Required


Compensation: $24-$30 per hour


You must have real, hands-on dementia or Alzheimer's care experience. This is a firm requirement and will be verified. A dementia care certificate (CDP, essentiALZ, or similar) is a huge plus.

ASG Home Care NJ is hiring a live-in Direct Support Professional for an adult gentleman with Down syndrome and later-stage Alzheimer's. He lives at home with a very sweet, involved family, and this role is meant to become a long-term live-in position with one consistent caregiver.

What you'll do:

  • Full personal care: bathing, toileting, incontinence care, feeding, transfers

  • Follow set daily routines and provide calm, patient dementia-informed support

  • Keep the client safe (fall prevention, supervision, swallowing awareness)

  • Light housekeeping and meal prep related to his care

  • Document care per agency and NJ DDD requirements

What we need:

  • Verifiable hands-on dementia/Alzheimer's caregiving experience (required)

  • Experience with full personal care and transfers; comfortable working in tight caregiving spaces

  • Able to pass all background checks and NJ DDD requirements

  • Seeking a genuine long-term live-in role, not something temporary

  • Calm, steady, reliable, values consistency and privacy in a quiet family home

We offer:

  • Long-term stable placement with room and board included

  • Competitive pay, discussed at interview

  • Supportive family and agency team

To apply, include a short summary of your dementia care experience (where, how long, level of care) and note any certifications.
