Looking for senior care assistance, preferably nursing credentials, for parents in their 80s who live independently in their own home.
1) healthcare care coordination (making phone calls to doctor offices for medical questions and appointment scheduling)
2) companionship, more geared towards Dad- overall conversational engagement, bringing dad to senior center social and community events, outdoor walking, indoor companionship activities (puzzles, games)
3) occasional transportation to appointments, or grocery/shopping assistance
Dad has worsening dementia, short term memory loss, growing difficulty with speech; toileting reminders/assistance on occasion. Mom is in a weakened state following recent cancer treatment.
Family feels most comfortable with someone who is local and highly familiar with Westborough with a flexible schedule. Personality fit will be key (warm, friendly, calm, patient, good bedside manner). Candidates with nursing credentials especially attractive. Seeking someone very experienced and comfortable in navigating healthcare, and addressing frequent health concerns and questions. Wiling to be flexible on schedule for the right personality and expertise fit. Previous dementia experience a plus. Refs, background check requested.
