About the job

My Great Aunt is 87 and has dementia. Her wish is to remain in her home and her needs have evolved to require more assistance and increased social interaction. She is Okinawan but speaks English well. I think she would benefit from someone sweet who wont mind listening to her repetitive stories and reacting warmly and engaged as if its always the first time hearing them. She will benefit from prompting to eat lunch and dinner, having a companion, as well as someone to ask her questions and to keep her alert in the afternoons, as naps during the day are a trigger for her confusion. She has been a housewife all her life and unfortunately her main hobby was sewing, which she is not able to do anymore. She loves looking at photos of animals or to have traditional Okinawan music played for her. I hope to have care between 12pm- 5 p.m.
