About who needs care: James is an older adult with several serious health conditions, including COPD, heart failure, diabetes, and a history of recent pneumonia. He uses oxygen at home and may need gentle reminders to use his respiratory equipment, especially at night. James is recovering from multiple hospitalizations and needs a calm, quiet environment overnight to support his rest and healing. He is at risk for falls and has had pressure ulcers, so he needs help with safe mobility and skin checks. The ideal caregiver will monitor his breathing and comfort, assist with toileting, and be ready to respond if he becomes confused or agitated. Its important that his care is provided in a smoke-free, stress-free environment, and that any concerns are communicated promptly to his family or medical team. About the care needs: I am looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver to be with James for about four hours each day during the daytime. The ideal person should be experienced in working with older adults who have chronic health conditions like COPD and diabetes. Responsibilities would include helping James stay on track with his oxygen and medications, assisting with light mobility and basic personal care, and providing a calm, smoke-free environment. Id like someone who is friendly, patient, and able to offer conversation and support without being intrusive. Its also important that the caregiver can notice and report any changes in Jamess health or mood. Good communication with both James and our family is a must, and having a positive, encouraging attitude will be a great fit for our home.
