Caregiver For Elderly

Caregivers are needed for afternoon, evening and overnight shifts, in the home of my mom, who has limited mobility, and uses a walker and a wheelchair, so she requires assistance with personal care, meal preparation, and housekeeping. Supporting and encouraging mom in exercising is a priority as she is preparing for knee surgery, and experience in this area is an asset. Because mom experiences chronic pain, experience with pain management would be an asset.

We have some flexibility in scheduling, especially for the right candidate.

Mom is a meticulous housekeeper, so she very much appreciates someone who pays attention to detail, and is a self-starter and hard worker. Her fridge is always well-stocked and she appreciates carefully prepared, delicious meals.

Mom is very independent and likes to do as much for herself as she can. Fluent English is required, and great communication skills are an asset for this position, as well as flexibility.

I am involved in mom’s care and we have two other part-time caregivers who are helping. There are sometimes variations in scheduling, and as mentioned, we can be flexible.

Responsibilities:

• Provide assistance in daily living activities, including administering medications.
• Meal preparation.
• Housekeeping and laundry.
• Assist with exercise.
• Assist with physical, social and emotional needs and provide companionship.
• Support mom in achieving her goals and objectives.
• Ensure safety.
