Part Time
Seeking care for my grandfather in his 80s. Services needed: feeding, meal preparation, medication prompting, mobility assistance. Looking for someone with 5+ years of experience caring for seniors. Specialized care needs: nursing experience. A little more about my grandfather: he can be pleasant, grouchy, outgoing, independent. My grandfather is being discharged from the hospital after suffering a collapsed lung. He is fully dependent on oxygen. He is chatty, but can be grumpy sometimes. We need someone to sit and talk with him, make him lunch, and help him to the bathroom. I'm looking for someone who is patient, chatty, fond of pets. We have lots of dogs who will be crated when you come. We also have a cat. We need someone who will be patient with my grandfather above all else. He gets confused sometimes and needs someone who can explain things slowly and in detail. My grandpa is a very picky eater, but he is diabetic so it is important that he eat somewhat healthy things (protein, e.g.: cheese, meats, etc.) on a regular basis. I am self employed so I work a flexible schedule, but I can't always be home every hour or so to check on him and since he is coming out of hospitalization he will need a bit more constant care and assistance.
