About the job
About who needs care: My 74-year-old mother-in-law lives with us and has mild dementia. She needs someone to prepare meals for her, help remind her about medications, companionship. We are looking for someone to help us with respite care when we can't be here and some light household help - laundry, dishes, meal preparation. We are currently looking for someone to come every day for 2-3 hours from April 11-20. We are flexible after that. About the care needs: Someone who is calm and quiet, good listener, responsive, experienced working with people with dementia. My mother-in-law is very formal and polite and does not want to ask for help. Sometimes she forgets what she needs help with so she may need reminders about that, too. Services needed include: meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
