What are the responsibilities and job description for the Private Caregiver position at Evanoff Household?
We're looking for an outgoing care companion to join Team Casey! While Casey makes TBI (traumatic brain injury) & SCI (spinal cord injury) recovery progress & regains independence, we're looking for someone to provide companionship and help create joy - play boardgames or video games, spend active time outside, do speech & PT (physical therapy) home exercises, and give respite to his partner and primary caregiver, Dorothy.
Casey is incredibly kind and considerate, strong, and hardworking. He has a drive for life that keeps pushing him past doctors' expectations. Casey is progressing from using two crutches to one crutch and getting back to programming iphone apps. He also has a major love of the outdoors and would like to get back to hiking and climbing outside. Brownie points if you can belay for climbing!
