Care for senior woman, dementia, parkinsons, diabetes
An opportunity has arisen for a compassionate, attentive, and dedicated healthcare professional to assist a senior woman living with dementia, Parkinson's, and diabetes. This role is part-time, and is ideal for someone who can provide just a few hours of care in the mornings, preferably in and around 8-11 am from Monday through Sunday. However, flexibility might be required for the right candidate. The core tasks for this role will primarily revolve around senior care, focusing on making life easier and more comfortable for the elderly woman. This includes administering insulin and other medications, bathing assistance, and the management of incontinence care. You might also need to support her with range of motion exercises to help improve her mobility and overall health. With her living conditions in mind, the responsibility of meal preparation and organization also falls under the scope of this role. Your main goal would be to create a nutritious meal plan that encompasses her dietary needs specific to her medical conditions. Companionship is another key aspect of this role. This includes planning visits, outings, trips to visit neighbors, friends, and family, always ensuring her safety and happiness. This role also requires some light housekeeping tasks, including dishwashing, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping as well as laundering, folding, and storing clothes. Bathroom cleaning and patient positioning would be required as needed. It is important to mention that you would need to be comfortable using your own car to assist with any necessary outings. You must also be willing to work with the CLSC chèque emploi service, as they will be paying/subsidizing the salary for this role. The ideal candidate would have experience working with patients who have dementia, Parkinson's, and diabetes, as well as dealing with incontinence and hearing impairment. However, training and support can be provided for candidates who are new to these areas but show a clear commitment and dedication to providing high-quality care. Please note that the chosen assistant would be predominantly living separately; hence, this is a live-out position. This role would be less than 20 hours per week, offering an immediate start for the chosen candidate. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
