Hands-on Care Needed For My Father With Lewy Body Dementia In Washington DC

About the job

I'm looking for hands-on care to help support my Father who suffers from late-stage Lewy Body Dementia. He lives with my Mother in an Assisted Living facility, but my Mom could use some support with him so she can get a break every now and again. We would prefer someone who may be comfortable with a bit of a flexible schedule. One of your responsibilities may be helping with toileting, helping him move around the apartment, helping with meals and feedtng and occasional bathing. We're looking for someone to provide companionship although he sleeps quite a bit. We have a preference for a caregiver who is very patient, who understands the challenges of Lewy Body Dementia, is a non-smoker and comfortable with pets as my parents have a dog. Ideally this person could come a couple of times a week.
