About the job
Looking for a caring and compassionate hands-on caregiver for my mother-in-law age 85. We mostly need night shifts 5pm-1am, but are open to a full-time live-in caregiver or other shifts if you are a good fit. Mom has dementia and is very sweet and appreciative. She is very lightweight, cooperative, and somewhat ambulatory with some assistance. Duties include managing and administering medication. She is on a strict pureed and thickened-liquid diet because she aspirates, so experience with preventing that is a plus. Experience with edema and swelling. Experience with preventing and treating bed sores. She sleeps well but needs repositioning. Needs help with bathing and toiletry. Also, meal prep, light tidying up, transporting to/from appointments. Preferences for CPR / first-aid trained and if you have your own transportation.
