Live in senior care/companion

Job description
I am currently seeking a full-time, live-in senior care aide to provide support and companionship to my mother. My mother suffers from short-term memory problems but retains a strong sense of independence. She is proud, valuing her self-sufficiency and I seek to preserve this dignity for her as much as possible. The person in this role will assist her in managing her home and ensuring her daily needs are met, including meals, bathing, and her sleep schedule. It’s important to respect her choices and allow her control over these aspects as much as possible. Other responsibilities will include dressing and grooming assistance, housekeeping chores, grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, and running errands. Additionally, the care aide will offer companionship in the form of planning visits, outings, trips to visit friends and family, playing games, and engaging in conversations to keep her active and stimulated. They will also handle some medical needs, specifically focusing on Alzheimer/dementia care. The role includes ensuring she attends appointments and managing her schedule to facilitate this. It’s crucial that the professional in this role can be respectful to her desire for independence, whilst ensuring her safety and wellbeing. A valid driver’s license is a prerequisite for this role as the aide will be required to use their own vehicle for tasks like grocery shopping and accompaniment to appointments. The expected working hours for this role are between 30 – 40 hours a week, with the schedule spanning Monday through Sunday, both mornings, afternoons, and evenings. The chosen candidate should be prepared to start immediately upon selection and must be comfortable working with or have prior experience assisting individuals with dementia and incontinence. By hiring a live-in care aide, I aim to prevent the need for round-the-clock supervision that a facility would offer, thereby aiding her in maintaining as much of her dignity and independence for as long as possible in the comforts of her own home. If you possess a deep compassion for the elderly and meet the requirements listed above, I am eager to hear from you. Please note, this role also requires light pet care and a flexible attitude. My mother and I appreciate your time and consideration.MoreSalary: Negotiable, based on experience30 – 40 hours/weekScheduleDesired start date immediatelyMorningAfternoonEveningOvernightMTWThFSaSuCaregiver is responsible forProfessional skillsHousekeepingLaundryGrocery ShoppingMeal Planning / PreparationErrandsClean BathroomMoreWilling to work with or have experience withWork with diagnosesDementiaIncontinence (diapers)Additional requirementsValid driver’s licenseRequired to use own car Active:Today • Member since:January 2025Address
