Caregiver Needed
Caregiver preference: Female caregiver requested.
Client will need transportation support for shopping, errands, and medical appointments because she does not drive.
She is mobile but is a significant fall risk due to seizures, dizziness, poor vision, and episodes where her legs give out.
Caregiver must maintain close supervision and keep eyes on the client at all times for safety.
Health considerations
Client has a seizure disorder with cognitive delay, anxiety, high cholesterol, degenerative disc disease, chronic back pain, knee pain, asthma, and mild visual impairment.
The caregiver should be attentive, safety-focused, calm during emergencies, and comfortable assisting a client who may experience seizures, dizziness, or sudden leg weakness.
Current in-home needs
The caregiver will provide hands-on and supervisory support with:
Daily showering and bathing assistance, with strong attention to fall prevention.
Dressing and personal-care routines.
Safe mobility and transfers as needed, especially when the client feels dizzy or weak.
Close seizure and fall-risk monitoring throughout the shift.
Meal preparation; the client is expected to receive Mom’s Meals, but may still need help preparing, heating, serving, and cleaning up after meals.
Laundry and light household upkeep.
Grocery shopping, errands, and transportation to doctor appointments.
Assistance with money management.
Help using the telephone and communicating as needed.
Memory reminders, reassurance, and simple step-by-step guidance.
Support that accommodates her limited reading ability and visual impairment.
Best caregiver match
The client would likely do best with a female caregiver who is dependable, patient, observant, and gentle. The ideal caregiver should communicate in clear, simple language; repeat information calmly when needed; avoid rushing the client; and provide reassurance when she is anxious or confused.
If you have a heart for helping others and find joy in making someone’s day brighter, we’d love to meet you. Join a company where respect and kindness guide everything we do.
Apply today to become a valued part of our compassionate care community.
