Companion Care Needed For Father And His Wife

About the job

I need a responsible and reliable companion for my 95-year-old father and his 87-year-old wife, who live in Merrill Gardens in Ballard. Both are very kind and charming. Father's mind is excellent. Wife's short term memory is having issues. This position starts at one day/week to get them used to having someone new with them. Responsibilities include: 1. Taking them on outings to get them out of the apartment. 2. Accompanying them on doctor visits as needed, and taking notes (occasional) 3. Light housekeeping (mostly washing dishes, cleaning out refrigerator, etc.. (they have a cleaning service that does the rest). 4. Helping with organizing appointments and medications (when to order, etc.) 5. Running errands (local) Hours will likely increase as they become more comfortable with you, and as needs increase.
