Do I need to be able to drive?

The requirement for driving as a Care Professional at Home Instead can vary depending on the specific location and the type of services provided. While some clients may require transportation assistance, not all Care Pro positions at Home Instead necessitate driving.

In cases where driving is a requirement, having a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle may be necessary. This enables Care Professionals to assist clients with transportation needs such as medical appointments, grocery shopping, or other errands.

However, it’s important to note that Home Instead typically offers a variety of Care Pro positions, and not all of them involve driving responsibilities. Many caregiving tasks can be performed within the client’s home without the need for transportation services.

When applying for a Care Professional position at Home Instead, it’s advisable to inquire about the specific requirements and expectations regarding driving. You can reach out to your local Home Instead office to gather accurate and up-to-date information regarding the driving requirements for the position you are interested in.
