Home-care jobs are increasing in the Brainerd lakes area as the Little Falls office reports it is hiring an estimated 10-30 employees this year in health care and registered nursing positions in and around Brainerd.
“We contribute the growth of our employee base to the immediate need of our services,” said Jay Vasek, Comfort Keepers owner in Little Falls, in a news release. “Nine out of 10 people say they want to age at home. In-home care is a growing industry that will only show more demand as baby boomers look for someone to care of their parents and eventually, to care for themselves.”
Comfort Keepers was founded in Springfield, Ohio, and reports it now has 600 franchises in the nation after 13 years of service with 25,000 caregivers and office employees working at the independently owned offices in the U.S.
Those interested in applying for work, may reach the company’s employment center at www.ck843.ersp.biz/employment or go to www.comfortkeepers.com/littlefalls-mn.
