About the job
I need an experienced hands-on care provider for my 97-year-old friend. She needs prompting to remind her to take her daily medication (1 pill). Main tasks include preparation of meals that are easy to swallow, helping pick up after her and keep apartment clean, and doing laundry. She is a proud woman who could use discrete assistance with hygiene. She needs to use a walker and could benefit from assistance in taking short walks for exercise. Although experiencing memory loss, she is highly educated and has many interesting stories to tell. A good companion is someone who can engage her in conversation and listen to her stories, even when repeated. The caregiver needs to be a non-smoker, able to provide their own transportation. Given her age and use of a walker, CPR / first-aid training would be a plus.
