Full Time
Seeking care for myself in my 80s. Services needed: bathing / dressing, feeding, medication prompting, help staying physically active, mobility assistance. Looking for someone with 3+ years of experience caring for seniors. Specialized care needs: support for chronic illness, nursing experience. A little more about myself: I can be anxious, pleasant, outgoing, independent. I have an old dog, he's 14 years old and slow moving and sleepy but I need someone who accepts dogs. I like to be outside in the garden but have limited access at this time. I have a broken right arm and shoulder which is my dominant hand so I'm learning to use my left hand a lot. For example I am learning to walk with a cane in my left hand. I'm looking for someone who is patient, chatty, strong, fond of pets, outdoorsy. I would like a train CNA for daytime assistance. I need help with cutting up food and spreading bread and things like that for assistance with feeding; I have learned to feed myself with my left hand. Per disabled arm, I do need some help with medication management, activities of daily living like preparing a toothbrush and toothpaste and toileting, and would prefer someone able to continue therapy activities.
