Are you seeking a job or are you seeking a clinical experience? Or are you trying to get a job that will count as clinical experience? Do you have any training or credential?
Could you consider a job providing personal care services to older adults (non-clinical role) and find a volunteer position in a undisputable clinical setting (emergency department, neonatal intensive care) for a few hours per week? Or get a job as a patient care technician in a hospital setting where the work may be similar and the people being cared for an indisputably "patients".
Home hospice and hospice services delivered in a hospice facility do get counted as clinical although much of what volunteers do is respite for a family member who needs a break for an hour or two. But the person in hospice is in the role of "patient" whereas a person who has a physical disability or who has a cognitive deficit can go on living their lives in their homes or in residential facilities for years and years and they are not "patients", they are just people who are living their lives. Not to infantilize them but if they no longer know how to do things they are somewhat similar to people who have not yet learned how to do things or who lack the judgment, or strength and coordination to do them. We don't consider nannies to be doing clinical care when they assist with bathing, dressing, and feeding so why is it different if the person is an adult?
