Join a Home Care Team that Oakland & Macomb County Families Trust
Avalon Essential Home Care has been helping families across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties since our 2004 founding in Troy, MI. We’re one of the oldest home care agencies in the region—and the reason we’ve lasted is simple: we treat caregivers with the same respect we show our clients. Every member of our office team has worked in the field. We understand the job, the stress, and the importance of getting support when you need it.
We don’t rely on outside call centers or shift coordinators who don’t know the work. Our team matches caregivers directly, checks in weekly, and stays available after hours. When something changes, we work with you to adjust.
We offer pay-on-demand, flexible scheduling, 401K benefits, AFLAC, and advancement opportunities because we want caregivers to stay—and they do. If you’re dependable, compassionate, and ready to work with a team that has your back, there’s a place for you here.
What It’s Like to Work at Avalon Essential
Caregiver Career in Detroit FAQs
We hire caregivers who are reliable, compassionate, and able to work independently. Our team includes people with experience in home care, memory care, and long-term disability support. If you can follow a care plan, communicate clearly, and show up ready, you’ll fit in here.
Many of our best caregivers didn’t start with a license—they started with the right mindset. We provide clear expectations, consistent support, and ongoing training to help you grow. If you’re serious about the work, we’re serious about giving you a place to thrive.
We provide training, but the following are expected or required:
- CPR & First Aid Certification: All caregivers must complete this prior to placement.
- Clean Background Check: We run four point background checks.
- Memory Care Training: Required for those working with Alzheimer’s & dementia clients.
- Reference Checks: We confirm work history and performance.
- Willingness to Learn: Some experience helps, but attitude and follow-through matter more.
- Work Verification: We confirm 2 years of experience within the home care field.
If you’re unsure about a requirement, apply anyway. We’ll review your application and reach out if it’s a potential fit.
Caregivers here have access to 401K retirement plans, AFLAC insurance, and pay-on-demand options that make day-to-day life easier. We also help caregivers with discounted auto repair services and flexible scheduling to support personal responsibilities.
Retention starts with respect. Caregivers who feel supported are more likely to stay, and stability is what our clients deserve. That’s why some of our team members have stayed with Avalon for over a decade. We create space for them to grow, stay consistent, and be part of a team that works together.
We offer a range of shift options, including:
- Full-Time Schedules: Available for those who want a steady week-to-week structure.
- Part-Time Roles: For caregivers looking for fewer hours or weekend work.
- Flexible Coverage: We work with your availability to build a consistent schedule.
- Short-Term & Transitional Assignments: Based on client needs and caregiver fit.
- 24-Hour Care Roles: For those able to work longer shifts with consistent rotation.
We’ll talk through your availability during the interview and aim to match you with the right fit.
Once you apply, our team reviews your application, experience, and availability. After your interview, we continue with the screening process, which includes work verification, references, and background checks.
Your corporation helps this process move swiftly along to orientation. We make sure you know what to expect, who you’re supporting, and how to succeed.
