Seeking a dependable, compassionate caregiver to help my grandfather at home. He's sharp and loves doing the NYT crossword every morning. Needs hands-on help with bathroom care (including wiping and cleanup), safe transfers, and light housekeeping. He uses a wheelchair but can stand with help--his PT recently had him up for 30-45 seconds--and he needs patient encouragement to stay involved in his own care. He has OCD and prefers things clean and orderly. He's diabetic but not strict about diet, so meal flexibility helps. Also need help with grocery shopping, dinner prep, and cooking. He has an 11-year-old, 60-lb dog named Alice--a mellow couch potato--who just needs feeding and a few potty breaks. Schedule: 9 a.m. -2 p.m. (Mon/Wed/Fri) and 9 a.m. -6 p.m. (other days). Pay $28/hr. References required; non-smoker preferred.
