How the LTCF Caregiver Network Works
The LTCF Caregiver Network connects people who want to start or grow a caregiving career with Adult Family Homes (AFHs) that are actively hiring. Our platform simplifies every step—from discovering the caregiving profession to finding a job and advancing through professional training.
Caregivers can quickly create a profile, build a polished AI‑assisted resume, explore matched job opportunities, and apply directly to open positions. AFH providers can post vacancies, review resumes, and invite strong candidates to apply — making the hiring process faster, clearer, and more efficient for everyone involved.
Beyond job matching, the LTCF Caregiver Network also helps caregivers build long‑term careers. After beginning work in an Adult Family Home, caregivers may become eligible for free professional training programs provided by The Long-Term Care Foundation — earning certifications such as Home Care Aide (HCA), Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Dementia Specialty, Mental Health Specialty, and Nurse Delegation.
