This a caregiver job for my father. I am looking for someone with good energy, a good listener, a confidant for him, a compassionate person, someone that is willing to build a friendship. I am hoping to find someone that is good with two-way conversation and interaction! He is very kind, gentle and easy to get along with. He may need to run a simple errand on some days, and he really enjoys his outings. He is wheelchair bound. He needs help standing up and he can pivot to get in and out of his/a car. He has just moved into skilled nursing from living with 24-hour caregivers, so we would like the transition to be as smooth as possible for him. We are hoping to move him into assisted living as soon as possible. Caregiving hours may increase or decrease depending on his needs. I would like to meet the caregiver prior to introducing her/him to my father. Since he is currently in skilled nursing, his routine is quite structured. He is however a routine oriented person, so building some small routines with a caregiver would be comforting for him (ie. going to an activity in the facility) He watches the Game Show Network non-stop and enjoys playing slots on his phone. When or if he moves into assisted living a new routine will need to be established according to his needs! This will be determined at that time. Game Show Network, playing slots on his phone and looking at his photo album is basically all he has done for a long time. I am hoping that he gets involved in some of the activities offered at the facility. Encouragement to get involved and attending activities offered by the facility with him would be amazing! Good character, honest, at least five years of caregiving experience, physically able to assist him in and out of his wheelchair, take him to the restroom if needed (nursing staff should take care of that most of the time), fall prevention training and CPR certified. He does not have pets.
