My Mom is in the late-intermediate stages of Alzheimer’s/Dementia and requires daily companionship plus skilled and attentive care in all aspects of daily living, including overnight oversight/care. She is still mobile (able to walk) and able to dress herself (with assistance) and needs/benefits from passionate, caring companions who engage her in conversation (and singing, if possible, since she loves to sing) and physical activity (walking, gentle exercises, etc.), and activities of daily living and who are able to assist her in all aspects of personal care, including toileting/peri‑care, bathing (showers), providing manicures and foot soaks, etc.

Services And Training

Overall home‑care (housekeeping/meal preparation), medication administration, personal care needs which will increase over time, and excellent “redirection” skills. Ideally, you have at least a few years of 1:1 experience working with seniors with Alzheimer’s/Dementia, and you have personal transportation available (transit or own vehicle or live closeby).
