Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Warminster

About the job

About who needs care: This care is for my stepfather, who was recently hospitalized and is experiencing mobility challenges. We are looking for a safety companion to be with him during his waking hours to prevent falls and assist with his daily routine. Personality Match (Crucial): While he enjoys solitary hobbies like reading, writing, and astrology, he is a social person who thrives on conversation. We are looking for a caregiver who is outgoing, upbeat, and friendly. He needs someone who isn't just a 'body in the room,' but a companion who is willing to engage in discussions with him. If you are a good conversationalist with a bright energy, you will be an excellent fit for him. Health & Recovery Goals: He has Crohn's disease and arthritis. He is currently at risk of falls and needs standby assistance. However, I am looking for someone with a 'rehabilitative' mindset, who is kind but motivating. He needs a caregiver who will encourage him to walk and regain his independence, rather than doing everything for him. About the care needs: Seeking an upbeat, proactive caregiver for my stepfather. He is currently a fall risk needing safety supervision, but we need a "recovery coach" mindset to encourage independence and rebuilding strength. As I manage his care from across the country, reliability is key. Personality Fit: Extroverted and friendly is a must! He loves discussing current events, music, sports, and books. He thrives with high-energy conversation, so quiet types may not be the best fit. Requirements: Mobility: Experience with fall prevention, transfers (bed-to-chair), and assistance with dressing/showering is required. Diet: Must be willing to adhere to strict Crohn's disease dietary guidelines. Experience: Rehab or post-hospital background is a huge plus. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
