$16 – $26/hr • Part time • Starts May 29 • Costa Mesa, CA
About who needs care: He has some mobility issues so needs oversight going up and down the stairs, and showering. He has been weaker due toa bug he picked up from a grandchild for 2 weeks. He needs to be encouraged to get enough fluids and food in him. He lays in bed and sits on couch a lot so needs the encouragement to get up and move and get out in the sun.
About the care needs: He needs someone who can be somewhat take charge. My dad can be stubborn and he deflects a lot with humor and then doesn't hear or remember what he's supposed to do. He is the type that will not ask for help and often needs direction or nothing will happen. He will say oh, do not do that, but it needs to be done. I am his primary caregiver , but I have health issues and a an adult child with health issues and he needs more care now. He used to enjoy puttering in his garden. He likes to go out to lunch or dinner occasionally. Some food prep/meals would be a help too. He uses a Walker and cane but needed the Walker for sure when leaving the house to appts or a little walk at park or on his street. I need someone that can get him out for even just a short walk down his street, a few houses then back again, to start creating a better habit that will ultimately increase his energy and strength. He doesn't always hear that well, even with his hearing aids so would do best with a clear speaker with not too much accent. He has macular degeneration so cant see well and needs encouragement to use the bright light magnifying tools he has available to him there.
Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing. ... more
