About the job

About who needs care: My father is a kind and gentle man who spent his life devoted to his family and community. He has late-stage Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which affect his mobility, memory, and ability to communicate, but his spirit still shines through in quiet moments of recognition and connection. Experience with mobility challenges and memory care is appreciated. He needs full assistance with personal care, especially in the mornings. Before his health declined, he loved working with his hands, cracking jokes, meeting new people and spending time with family. His ideal day now is calm and predictable, with a steady routine. Gentle conversation, reading the paper, watching tv, listening to music, or just sitting together can bring him peace. What matters most is having someone kind, patient, and dependable to help him feel safe and comfortable.
