Please only message me if you have your own car and you are available 5 hours per day, Monday through Friday. We need a care aide who is reliable and caring, who's able to help a man continue to live independently with Huntington's disease. The client is mobile but sedentary and has limited ability to speak. It's crucial that he continues to engage with people and keep active. The applicant must have a car and be willing to drive him to appointments and outings for meals and shopping. Also, must enjoy cooking healthy, filling, high protein meals (position is not suitable for a vegetarian). Must enjoy dogs and be willing to feed the dog each day. The job is straightforward and requires cooking meals, keeping the house in order, accompanying client to appointments and taking him on outings to keep him active, encouraging him to exercise and gently guiding him toward shower time and good hygiene. Not a lot of personal care is required but understanding that someone with memory issues needs reminders and encouragement is necessary. Good communication skills are important, and so too is reliability, such as showing up each day on time and planning meals for the week. The suitable candidate would find something to do around the house when there is a lull, and would encourage the client to keep his brain active, such as playing memory games or going for a walk. Hours are flexible but must be consistent, either noon to 5 or 6, or 1 to 6, or thereabouts, Monday through Friday.
