About the job
About who needs care: Edith survived brain cancer and is now in remission for the past 3 years, great news! Unfortunately she now has some cognitive and memory issues that we are looking for some help to manage routine on days that I am not available. She enjoys walking, conversation, artsy activities and being around people. I think she gets lonely when the house is empty. Some times she forgets to take her medications. Ideal day would be: wake up at a regular time each day, eat a healthy breakfast and take meds. Do some kind of activity, then rest before kids and myself get home so we can spend time together in the evening and she feels productive and ready to engage with us. Then follow a good sleep hygiene routine. About the care needs: Easy going yet persuasive would be a good fit. Definitely having an optimistic and positive outlook would be a great influence for Edith, she can easily get depressed. No special skills needed. An interest in outdoor activities, board games and crafts or painting would help make a good match. Services needed include: companionship.
