Caretaker Needed For My Father With Dementia In North Charleston

About the job

My father is 78-years-old and has frontotemporal dementia. I am looking for a caregiver to work one day a week (up to 8 hours) on either Saturday or Sunday in our home in North Charleston. At this time, his dementia primarily affects his memory and executive functioning skills. He is physically able to complete many tasks, but needs help with finding items, remembering to turn off the stove, staying organized, remembering where he has left things, remembering the steps to a task he is completing, and planning out his day. He also needs assistance with keeping common areas clean, cleaning his bedroom, cleaning bathrooms, changing sheets, doing laundry, washing dishes, planning and preparing meals, and other household tasks. He is limited by arthritis and a previous knee replacement.
